Opinions on Soya Milk...

Hi

So I drink Alpro Soya Light, I really like it for a few reasons. A few years ago I stopped using full fat cows milk and I switched to skimmed milk. I like skimmed but I found out I could only use certain brands as different brands just tasted sour :/ maybe it was just me!

I started using soya milk and I really like it. Love it in cereal, hot chocolate, the odd glass aswell. I am not much of a baker. However I do like homemade rice pudding so I am thinking of making it with soya original. I find I can really taste the cereal and not just overwhelmed with the taste of full fat cows milk. After using alpro soya light my tummy feels great. I dont have any digestion issues but if i used full fat milk id feel a bit queasy.

I used tesco's soya milk before it was nice but sweeter than I would like.
I dont think I am lactose intolerant though, as I love yogurt and I have to restrain myself around Ben & Jerry's. I think its just cows milk and cream i hate.
I am just wondering what brands do you like? is almond milk good friend of mine swears by it.

I don't know if soya milk is good or bad for you (I hear alot of opinions) but it works for me and I like it.

I also have alpro soya milk, I've been drinking it for a few years now, and I love it. The only thing I don't have it in is tea, because for some reason it tastes strange in tea, but I have it in everything else, even porridge. I'm not lactose intolerant either, but I just don't like the taste of cows milk. I don't see any issue with having it if that's your preference, and it certainly hasn't done me any harm

Ah ok I guess that makes sense I dont drink tea anyway cause I think its strange lol
Oh yes I have had porridge with it before and it was lovely
Thats good. I feel better with it. So many people have opinions on it though!

Don't worry about other people's opinions, if it works for you that's all that matters

I have been drinking Alpro coconut soya milk for a few months... it has way more taste to it than what our household usually has - semi-skimmed milk. I am also not lactose intolerant but I guess just wanting to try new things

I still have dairy but on the odd occasion, like ice cream. Completely cut out butter though! I haven't had any problems and find it adds a cool taste to my fruit smoothies and muesli ^^

Thank you
It was just a bit tiresome hearing soya milk gives you cancer etc ..

Have you baked/cooked with it much?

I have baked cakes and cupcakes and pancakes with alpro coconut milk! Tastes just as good

Oh that is good to know I am not much of a baker but if I do get the urge would like to make them with soya milk and not switch back to dairy.

Never had pancakes made with milk before sounds yummy

Oh coconut thats sounds nice! does it taste really sweet? I wouldnt mind trying different soya milk types but if their are too sweet I prob wont like them. I like the unsweetened stuff

Yeah I had semi-skimmed before I know what you mean. I love trying new things too
Ice cream is amazing.. Id try soya ice cream if i seen it selling. Yeah I am not a fan of butter at all on anything (except potatoes I am Irish after all lol )

Fruit smoothies are lush. I have never put milk in them just juice/ice/fruit and if i wanted them a little bit thicker so natural yogurt.

Thickies sound good though with like cereal added in.

Yup, my pancakes are just plain flour, water/alpro coconut milk, 2 eggs and a lil baking powder! Gotta get back to making them though haha.

Sweet... hmm, I think its a lil sweeter than unsweetened soya but damn the coconut is strong... never liked coconut but its the real deal!

Tried almond alpro but didn't like it... the chocolate alpro is so good!!!

In my opinion soya milk tastes like arse. Much prefer hazelnut/ almond milk.
