Question about Soy milk...first time drinker

Lolaby123

i often have soy milk sweetened with apple juice which is fairly easy to buy and doesn't taste too odd. though i find i enjoy soya milk more if i think of it less as a milk substitute, and more as a drink in itself (stops me missing milk basically)

You really just have to try them all because everyone has different tastes. I drink So Delicious coconut milk and Silk pure Almond Milk more than soy these days but I'd say to start with Silk Soy milk maybe the vanilla and move from there.

The OP said in her post she can't have nut based milks.

I would personally try to stay away from soy since it has a lot of estrogen it in which can inhibit weight loss. Almond milk might be a better option.

I personally love soy milk, or coconut milk. Does coconut count as a nut as far as allergies? (Sorry if I'm being stupid about it)

I use Silk Fruit and Protein. It prob wouldn't be great with your chocolate protein powder but the vanilla would be fine. I use it because it has such an amazing flavor and works great in smoothies. No need to add honey or agave to sweeten your smoothie. It comes in peach/mango, mixed berry, and strawberry/banana. I usually use the peach/mango.

I'm surprised so many people responded with "try almond milk" when the OP stated they were allergic to nuts.

Why is it that you are trying to cut out cow's milk? Trying to see if you are lactose intolerant? You can purchase lactose free milk if that is the case. It is a bit more pricey than regular milk but if lactose may be your issue it would be a great alternative.

Soy milk I find gross. I haven't tried rice or any of the other milks out there minus almond.

Generally speaking, coconut is processed on the same equipment as nuts, so it must be labelled as "contains nuts" on allergy labels. taxologically speaking, it is not related to tree nuts, cashews, or legumes so if you were able to get a "clean" source or were not sensitive enough to cross-contaminated equipment, you might be okay. Of course, you could be allergic to both nuts and coconuts too, in which case they would be out.

So usually if someone says "no nuts", coconut is also out.

Not a stupid question at all!

Okay then, there is always rice and oat milk they are pretty good too.
