Almond vs. Soy vs. Skim Milk?

MichelleRenee13

I prefer the taste of almond milk and typically use sweetened vanilla. I have a sweet tooth. When I cook savory, I go for unsweetened soy. When making a smoothie, I typically use unsweetened chocolate almond milk.

As a former vegan and current lactose avoider, here are the results of my most judicious study of Fake Milks.

Tastes the most like real milk: rice milk
Tastes the best on its own: hazelnut milk
Tastes delicious in cereal/baked goods, reasonably easy to find: almond milk
Tastes delicious in cereal/baked goods, harder to find: oat milk
Tastes the grossest: soy milk

Watch out for the soy milk.
Soy is a phytoestrogen, which means it messes with your estrogen levels.
Too much soy every day can cause infertility, thyroid problems and other health issues.
I definitely avoid all sources of soy.

soy is a cheap filler. it is added to all kinds of things because its so cheap.

soy gained alot of popularity with vegans some years ago but has been shown to be an inferior food. very overrated.

You can get the unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze at Costco. It comes in a pack with six cartons and ends up being a bit cheaper than at Albertsons/Vons/etc. 40 calories per cup.

This is what I use! 40 calories in 1 cup! Not bad at all
