I,started with soy milk, mmmmmm good, but soy milk has estrogen - not for men. Then I moved to rice and almond. I drink rice milk all the time now and love it. Almond is the best tasting and also cost the most, I drink almond from time to time as a treat only because it cost so much. No more cows milk ! Oat milk may have gluten in it - not for everyone.

Just FYI: there's no reason men can't drink soy milk. Phytoestrogens and actual estrogen aren't the same thing, and panic over men eating soy is generally bunk, with no scientific or medical foundation. And in fact, soy may give very important health benefits to men, such as: http://my.webmd.com/content/article/84/98308.htm More info on men and soy: http://www.drweil.com/app/cda/drw_cda.html-command=TodayQA-questionId=312211 and http://vegweb.com/articles/monique-1009660779.shtml Obviously, if you prefer the others, great. But if you don't want to, there's no reason to limit soy products because you're male. IP: Logged |

De nada. (She says, sipping on a highly tasty smoothie made with Genesoy protein powder, Silk soy milk, fresh bananas, strawberries, peaches and flax oil.) IP: Logged |

For the record, Carob Rice Dream is kind of icky. I probably won't stop posting to this thread until I've tried *all* the non-soy, non-milk milks. ------------------ All you suicide kings and you drama queens . . . IP: Logged |

I drink calcium-fortified milk substitutes because too much cow's milk makes me produce more mucus. I hated soya milk when I first tried it. I can now tolerate the sweetened ones. I got on much better with rice milks. I like Rice Dream and Provamel rice milk that we have here. I recently discovered I like So Good soya milk, it's the only soya milk I ever actually liked. I eat some goat's and sheep's products because they are supposed to be less problematic if cow's milk disagrees with you. Tried soya cheese once and found it was truly disgusting to me! Still eat things which have a bit of cow's milk in them, otherwise I find it too restrictive for my liking. ------------------ IP: Logged |

The best tasting soy milk I have ever found is Silk brand in vanilla flavour. I'm a vegetarian and was wondering if there is a better substitute for milk than soy milk when it comes to protien content. I'm looking to get more protien in my diet. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I drink lactose free, skim milk. It has almost twice as much protein as soy milk and has no fat. Without the lactose, it's just as easy to digest. Taste issues aside, is there anything better for you than lactose and fat free milk? IP: Logged |

Unfortunately for me, lactose free milk wasn't lactose-free enough. Once I switched to soy milk, my problems were gone. Not to mention, there are some people who can't drink milk for allergy/moral reasons. IP: Logged |

 I'm rejuvenating an old thread here. I'm in college now, and even though I do a lot of active stuff now [er, as compared to sitting on the comp all day] my eating habits still aren't too healthy. I did stop drinking soda in January though. And less fast food!So to continue with the healthier living, bit by bit, I stopped by Whole Foods and got Almond Breeze in Vanilla. I used to have Silk Soymilk in Vanilla but I couldn't grow a taste for it. Almond Breeze I definitely enjoy more, and will buy the $1.79 liters myself, I guess, since no one else in my family is interested in drinking non-dairy stuff. Anyone else have any recent encounters with healthier food habits? If you want to start out with the non-dairy "milks", Almond Breeze is a good way to go! IP: Logged |

Oh wow, I'm glad you dug back up this topic. I am dying to try almond milk, now, and since I do my heavy-duty good-food shopping at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's I should be able to find it. I'm actually curious to try making it myself, too. I have never been able to stand soy milk, any of the multiple times I've tried it. Plus, I'm a weirdo, and have NEVER liked chocolate milk, so flavoring in general has never been something I like in milk. The only soda I ever drink is Blue Sky when it's around and Izze brand sodas (made with real fruit juice, the grapefruit is totally yummy), and that's only two or three times a week AT MOST. I don't drink a lot of coffee at all, and prefer green or black tea (studies are now showing that black tea has many of the same antioxidents and benefits of green tea) in the morning. My favorite is Assam black tea with a little honey and milk. YUM. I also buy all my fruits and veggies (except for frozen strawberries and bananas because I make smoothies too often) at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, since they're just better quality all around than the quick-ripening-then-spoiling yucky produce at our local grocery store. I also *vegetarians, cover your eyes!* love using bison as a substitute for beef, because it's a LOT leaner, healthier, and overall way way tastier. More expensive, but for how rarely I eat things with that sort of meat in it, it's worth it. IP: Logged |
