Almond vs. Soy Milk

Personally I love almond milk. My preference is Silk unsweetened almond milk.

I'm not a fan of the taste of soy milk so I prefer almond milk with my cereal. And I also use Silk Unsweetened.

Soy tends to be all full of GMO crap and almond is tastier and more natural. Makes the best oatmeal.

A couple years ago I had a conversation with my nutritionist at a fitness resort, they explained that although almond milk is lower in calories many brands don't contain the nutrients needed! A lot of almond milk is made by soaking almonds in water, and that's it... so even though it is mighty tasty and sweet, I go with soy milk!

I could be wrong though...

I also prefer almond to soy.

I prefer almond over soy for taste especially but since my daughters drink it as well, i don't want them drinking soy milk due to the estrogen effects...plus they like it better as well and the dark chocolate almond milk is a great alternative to normal chocolate milk! I like the almond in my coffee....gives it a slightly nutty flavor And great in oatmeal and on cereal....I get the unsweetened plain....only 30 calories per cup and is loaded with Vitamin D, Calcium and B12

Just a quick clarification here... soy milk does not contain estrogen that's a myth that has been widely researched...please think of all the food you eat that has soy in it (read the label a lot of it does)

I think people freak out about hormones because of all of the stuff being injected into meats... but soy milk does not contain the hormone estrogen. It does contain isoflavones, which are naturally occurring plant compounds. Isoflavones are classified as plant estrogens but isoflavones are very different from the hormone estrogen in the human body.

ps i love chocolate almond milk as a treat as well!!

I prefer almond or coconut milk to soy milk, for me it's just a flavor thing, I think the soy milk tastes like grass

coconut milk all the way

I find almond milk thicker than soy, which is a great start! also the taste of even unsweetened almond milk is 100x better than soy (which has no taste too me)

I honestly prefer vanilla soy milk - it's creamier and tastes better with cereal/coffee. I sometimes buy almond milk because I get in the mood for it, but I always end up going back to soy. I either buy Earth Balance vanilla because it's organic and non-GMO, or Silk Organic when I can't get to Whole Foods for the Earth Balance.

ETA: Holy crap, I'm the only one to prefer soy.

She's not wrong. I use almond milk if I need something "milky" but don't want a lot of calories. That's it. It has virtually no nutrients to speak of--except calcium, which is added to practically every other milk-like beverage.
