Opinions on soya milk?

You can make your own milk. Just blend a few raw nuts of choice in a nutribullet with water. You can sweeten it with a touch of real maple syrup.0

Thanks but like I said I can't have almond milk or any but milks but also this is only about soya or skimmed as they're the options while out and about. But surely I would use my masticating juicer to make the milk not a blender like the nutribullet.0 -

I am faced with either soya or skimmed when out at times, you hear and read so much information that counters having either. Purely was an interest
Skim milk 8fl oz: calories 90 / protein 9
Soy milk 8fl oz: calories 90 / protein 6
Drink whichever one you want. They are close. I cannot drink cow's milk, so occasionally I have soy milk instead of water.

Goats milk is a great alternative and tastes just like cows milk to me. Generally it's organic so no added hormones etc. It's naturally low lactose and so is suitable for lactose intolerance.0

Hey. I've been drinking Alpro soya for a couple of years and am now so used to it when I have tasted cow's milk I find it rank. When I first started drinking non dairy I really didn't like it but your taste changes over time.
You are UK? The Alpro brand is the creamiest that's why I drink it - my sis hates it for the same reason. She prefers the supermarket longlife stuff because it's more watery. Maybe try a taste test and see what you prefer.0 -

I do love the taste of soya and yep UK so I have to alpro one but wasn't sure with the hormone thing I heard. In Costa I am usually going between soya or skimmed also0 -

They do seem very similar but I would be more inclined to soya as long as this hormones thing is not gonna be an issue. I have cut back on dairy and it seems to work well. Thank you for the info0 -

Here's a pretty good discussion: http://examine.com/faq/is-soy-good-or-bad-for-me/
My thought is that if you have reasonable amounts and aren't eating tons of soy, there's no reason to worry about it--if you'd prefer the soymilk, go with soymilk.0 -

Personally I only use soy milk in porridge, where it needs the 'creaminess'. But then I don't drink coffee or tea.
