This is kind of a off question but we just found out my daughter has a milk allergy. Well my daughter has been a huge chocolate milk drinker--say 1/2 gal to gallon a day, well now we have to pull the milk away completely. I am looking for some suggestions on great tasting soy milk, I tried silk light today with chocolate syrup and she refuses to drink it. Just looking for help--this is going to be hard....I am going to join her in her battle and drink soy myself.

    Maybe she'll like chocolate almond milk. I really enjoy it. I also like light chocolate soy milk but not regular soy milk with syrup

    Silk is the best of all the ones I've tasted. It's going to take her a bit to adapt to it though. Eventually, if she wants her chocolate milk that bad she will. You may want to go for the unsweetened kind...there's a lot of sugar in the soy milk. When you add chocolate syrup it's even more.

    I love Chocolate Silk Light or just Chocolate Silk. You might want to try rice milk too. It's sort of sweet and she might like that. Most important, just keep having her try the new milk. It will take awhile, but she will get used to it! (I'm a mother of three and a daycare mom to 125+)

    I prefer Almond Milk to Soy - for taste and for overall health effects. Blue Diamond Almond Breeze is a great choice. But in general, going through the withdrawl battle now is probably best for your daughter's health...1/2 to whole gallons of milk (or soy or any substitute) is a heck of a lot. Good luck!!

    My favorite for chocolate soy milk is to get vanilla or light vanilla soy and flavor it with NSA Quik powder for myself. Just seems to taste better to me. Perhaps I'm just a 42 year old Quik junkie :-)

    Almond milk seems to be creamier than soy and for less calories per cup. You might try unsweetened vanilla almond milk plus Quik.

    Is she lactose intolerant? They make LACTAID Chocolate Milk now that is very good and not overly sweet. I am lactose intolerant and really enjoy it. I think the SILK Chocolate Soy Milk is very sweet. I sometimes mix it with 1/2 a glass of Lactose free milk. By the way - not sure where you live but I find the Ingles Brand of Lactose free milk tastes more like real milk than other brands. Hope that helps! I can feel your pain - I wasn't lactose intolerant until after high school it is hard to know what the real stuff tastes like and try to find a suitable substitute!

    I would suggest rice or almond milk. If she drinks that large amount of milk a day, it should not be either cow or soy as they are both usually high in hormones. Soy has natural estrogen I think, but it is still added hormones that a young person doesnt need in excess.
