Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi, My daughter doesn't like soya milk. Does anyone have recommendations for any other that she may like. She finds soya milk too weak/thin....bit like skimmed milk. I know what she means. Pre vegan, I couldn't stand skimmed milk, especially in tea or coffee....too thin. Is there anything out there that is a tad creamier tasting? I can't afford to go through all the different makes and types so am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. We are in the UK, Derbyshire. Shops around here where we live aren't too hot on vegan variety!!!..so we'd have to venture into Derby, I suppose, to get a wider variety of supplies. How long is soya milk supposed to last once the carton has been opened? Thanks M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi We use Alpro- it is thicker than semi-skimmed milk which we used to use many years ago.

How long is soya milk supposed to last once the carton has been opened? >> In the U.S., the fat content of the soymilk is listed. I've found I like the thinner ones (about 2g fat per serving), but there are varieties with 4g fat that are a lot creamier. So if she likes a richer version, look for the highest-fat version. I've also tried hemp milk, which is just becoming available here, but I've been saving it for cooking because it is way too rich for me, something like 5-6 g fat per serving (8 oz). Soymilk here says something like " use within 7-10 days after opening. " I don't think I've let it go that long, but it's very obvious when it's gone bad.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi, oat milk is pretty creamy. We have soya milk mostly, but my husband's not got used to it in tea, he finds 'oatley' fits the bill. A friend who turned to more of a vegan diet found oat milk really good for making a latte.Hope you can find this near you to try. Waitrose and Sainsburys, plus the health shops near us supply it. I don't think our local Tescos do though.Bea"yarrow" <yarrow Sent: Mon, 22 February, 2010 7:58:16RE: Milk for kids At 2:39 PM +0000 2/20/10, Maria Semolina wrote: My daughter doesn't like soya milk.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm not so keen on that one, especially in tea and coffee, as it is flavoured with vanilla.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 If you have access to an Asda, their own brand soya milk is the creamiest I've ever tasted - if other soya milk is like skimmed milk, the asda stuff is like full cream blue top (or at the very least semi skimmed). You want the fresh one they keep in the chiller cabinet, not the long life UHT stuff which, whilst OK, doesn't have the same degree of creaminess. Also I find that Provamel rice milk (think it's provamel - the one in the purple and blue carton) is also very creamy tasting, but not as nice in tea and coffee as the Asda soy. Opalline (who hasn't had internet access for a while - how the devil is everyone? Did I miss anything?) My daughter doesn't like soya milk. Does anyone have recommendations for any other that she may like. She finds soya milk too weak/thin... .bit like skimmed milk. I know what she means. Pre vegan, I couldn't stand skimmed milk, especially in tea or coffee....too thin. Is there anything out there that is a tad creamier tasting?
