    Good to know it tastes alright so I won't be afraid to drink it at my vegetarian friend's house. I avoid soy like the plague though, in my opinion its really unhealthy and can prevent you from absorbing good nutrients.

    My experience with soy goes back to 8th grade Home Ec where we had to make soy burgers. How VILE! So I have some bias against soy (except for deep-fried firm tofu which is really good in Pad Thai.)

    I started drinking Silk when I was breastfeeding Hannah because she just couldn't take it if I drank actual Milk. and I have been drinking it ever since. We use the plain for cooking, the Vanilla and chocolate are really good.

    I may try the chocolate because I drink 1% chocolate milk now and I love it. If it's the slightest bit chalky, though, I'll gag but I'm sure it isn't or you would've said so. The only choc. milk I drink is 1% Superior because it's so smooth.
    Blessings,

    It's tolerable. I'm also lactose intolerant, but I never really liked milk in the first place. Seems like if they make it in soy, I've had it. I really like Tofuti Cuties, they're little ice cream sandwiches made out of tofu.

    I'm lactose intolrant and kept hearing people rave about soy milk and how healthy it is. I went to the store and bought some so I could try it. I swallowed three gulps and threw it all up. I thought it was the worst thing I've ever tasted.

    That's what I started with too!!! I had tried an off brand years ago and tossed it out. But the chocolate looked so good I tried it and love it. Then I went to Vanilla because I wanted something I could use in different things. Love it too but now am using the Low fat Vanilla. I like it even better. They make great smoothies! The Silk brand is the only kind I'll ever use.

    So thrilling to be able to eat cereal again after 30 some years. I feel like a kid again!

    Here is the link to their web site if you'd like to go browse around:

    Choco Soy effing rocks!

    With Rice Crispies or Cheerios? I am there.

    The vanilla is good in coffee. The regular soy isn't bad, in a pinch.

    I can look at regular milk and feel ill, If I get the jones for cereal I do it on the weekends, that way I am close to home.

    The Sunday paper always has coupons for soymilk!
