Has anyone tried SILK, soy milk??

[moosmom]

I bought some the other day and had it on my Honey Nut Cheerios. You cannot tell the difference. It's great. It also comes in flavors which, I really didn't want to try so soon because I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not.

I tried to give what was left in the bowl to the cats. The snots wouldn't drink it. Humpf!!!!

Anyone else drink it??

[Chica]

Yes, I use it in my cereal. I use the vanilla flavor.It's very good, and you can't taste the difference.I can't have regular milk anymore. I get you know, the (runs), heheh!!
So, I have to be carefull.But, it's good for my cereal, and cooking with it to.

If you have thyroid disease please do your research before making the switch to any sort of soy products. Soy can really mess up your thyroid hormone levels.
That being said, I have thyroid disease so No, I don't drink Silk. My er... half sister in law(??) drinks it and she loves it

Thanks, that is good to know!

No, I haven't tried it. I have difficulty even saying it w/out gagging. If they would sell it in pint size, I might but every store around here insists on selling it in half gallons. If I don't like it, then that's too much waste. Funny you should mention that your cats won't drink it. I buy organic whenever possible and Coco Puff used to love to lick the inside of egg shells but since I switched to organic, he turns up his nose. Wonder why.

Milk ought to come from mammals, not plants.

I agree w/you in theory, truly. But cow's milk is for cows, goat's milk for goat's. We get our milk from our mother's breast until we're weaned, obviously. My dilemma is that I LOVE milk and, thankfully, I'm not lactose intolerant but, because I agree w/your statement, I do feel that I should try soy milk. Plus it's supposed to be good for menopausal women. I'm just a fraidy cat to try it.

I love it! If it wasn't so gosh-darn expensive it's likely that I'd get that instead of regular milk as I'm lactose intolerant. The chocolate silk is my faaaavorite.

So start with chocolate then. Nothing with chocolate can be bad, right?!!

I've tried several different soy drinks (I didn't know that about it effecting the thyroid, I am on meds for thyroid, oops!) some I like, some are awful. Unfortunately I never remember which is which so it is always a roulette game when I get one.

I use Lactaid as a regular milk and we have no problem with that. We are huge milk drinkers, so to go without would be a sacrifice indeed! Plus the cats love it and it is alright for them.

DEFINITELY start with the chocolate.

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.
