Has anyone tried SILK, soy milk??

[Medusa]

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.

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.

i've used it, vanilla flavor on cereal, blended with frozen berries and bananas. even ran a taste testing at work one lunch. the chocolate silk won, but it was billed as chocolate milk.

shepgirl - did you get the unflavoured stuff? NO WONDER.

The stores here have Silk and all the other flavours...but there is a brand of soy that comes in gallon jugs called Sunrise Soy. Sweetened or unsweetened. That's it!

I use the plain as a base for smoothies etc - with stevia added for sweetness - and it will take on the flavour of anything you add to it. Kinda like tofu.

It has more protein in it also.

Yeah, I've tried the Soy Milk because John likes it. I nearly gagged. I'm not a big milk drinker in recent years since I developed lactose intolerance. I LOVE Lactaid Chocolate milk. It's thick and sweet and really good.

I did buy the unflavoured Catty, didn't know there were other kinds. I've never noticed anything labelled SILK in our stoes, maybe we don't have it. It was such a horrid taste that I just put it on my list of NO'S....lol
What in the world is stevia? Tofu I tried also, find it so blah...

We make our own soy milk.

Soak the beans in water. Grind them in a blender. Strain out the fibers. Boil it. Add sugar or whatever. Voila. Soy milk, the REALLY natural way
