Hey, that is what I drink! Good for me too!
Soy is so controversial because it plays a part in the female hormones. Some studies have shown that it increases the estrogen based cancers. I avoid it if I can.
I bought a three pack of the milk at Sam's cheaper than it costs for 2 at Walmart. So I froze two of them. It took 4 days to defrost, and I had to whip it in shape in the blender for it to go back together. It tastes fine, and I will do it again. But it was definitely different from freezing cow's milk.
I like the vanilla flavor but I usually get the original with no sweeteners. Does away with any sugars since I am staying off sugars as well as wheat and soy and dairy.
I use the almond milk - I think it is better and it has a lot of calcium in it. I don't drink regular milk - upsets the stomach - vanilla low fat almond milk is only 30 calories a cup
ReplyDeleteI have also switched from soy to almond milk for the same reason. I use to eat a lot of edamame - I love edamame - but not anymore. I buy the original for my smoothies, but I splurge on the dark chocolate once in awhile for a treat.
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to find almond milk at Sam's Club ... and so disappointed that they only have the sweetened version. Lately, i've been using unsweetened almond-coconut milk in my coffee (Blue Diamond's Almond Breeze).
ReplyDeleteHave you tried making your own? I've tried making almond milk and also, brown rice milk. I think I'd have to make a lot more to come up with something I liked as much as the commercial varieties.
Milk is gross. :) I avoid it in any form. :) Unless it's in a Pina Colada.
