Taste an alternative milk
In addition to soy and coconut milk, there are lots of other alternative milks you may or may not have heard of. Believe it or not, milk can be made from almonds, oats, rice, and even potatoes. During the next 24 hours, do a taste-test with one alternative milk to see how you like it.

I also am a fan of Silk Soy Milk.Around the holidays they have Silk Nog which is better than any egg nog I have ever tasted. I only wish it were more available the rest of the year! I use Silk in cooking and it works as well as regular milk in almost everything. (don’t use to make “white sauce”).

Love the Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original as well, it is wonderful on Kashi’s Cina-Rasin Crunch Cereal!!! I have told everyone I know about it and I am looking forward to breakfast again!
I’ve tried soy and rice milk in the past. My new favorite is Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original.
I buy the silk soymilk for kids on a regular basis. I think with my daughter I would have had more luck trying to beat the cow to death with a toothpick before I could get her to drink a glass of regular milk. She loves the kids vanilla soy milk though, my son loves the chocolate soy milk. Now Silk even makes yogurt that my daughter will grab out of the fridge and devour. The vanilla Silk yogurt and a granny smith apple is her favorite snack. There can be 50 lbs. of candy sitting in front of her and she will complain there is nothing for her snack if we are out of either. It’s a nice feeling to know that she makes good healthy choices when it comes to snacking.
I would like to thank you for providing this site to the general public at large! P.S. and also for the coupon! Now I can do extra shopping!
Hi I want the world to know what I thank about Silk Soy Vanilla it is bomb! My children have been drinking it for years and , so have my husband and I. I first introduced the products when my son began to have a reaction to real cows milk. I have tried several other products as well. When ever, I have a choice I always select nut milk products. I know they are healthier. I am also interested in getting involved with your Front line Program,where educate the community on healthy life styles and eating right. Please contact me with information on how I can get involve. sign a Healthy eater!
I bought my first Silk Light Soy Milk last night…I tried it in my coffee this morning & it tasted very good. I have looked at it at the grocery for several weeks and finally made the decision to try it.
vanilla silk soy milk is wicked good on cereal. it tastes like a vanilla shake with my cream of wheat, yummy!
I’m absolutely addicted to Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original. It’s 40 calories per cup, has no sugar and only 3g of unsaturated fat per cup. It’s silky, smooth, and nutty —amazing!
I love Lowfat, Original Oat milk or Hazelnut milk in my cereal in the morning. It adds more flavor and texture.
I love making smoothies with westsoy soy milk. I had a lovely banana smoothie for breakfast.
I love coffee with creamer and a friend said use soy I WILL NEVER go back to any other creamer for my coffee. Lots of yummy flavors.
What a great challenge. I love soy milk….as long as it’s silk soymilk. The vanilla is the easiest to drink and they now have a ton of variations. There a many different flavors. As far as health benefits go, SilkSoymilk has made some additions. They have Silk Light, Silk Plus Fiber, and Silk for Kids (in a purple container—with vitaminx A + D, etc. for kids). It’s my favorite company for the taste and health choices…and the commercials rock. Yay Silk!!
my family members are allergic to nuts. be careful when adding almond milk to recipes you are bringing to friends homes.
I found that soy milk has a texture that I enjoy more than rice milk – rice milk was very thin and seemed watery after drinking cow milk for so many years. Silk and 8th Continent brands are both really tasty in original, vanilla, and chocolate!
Almond Milk has the same amount of calcium as cow’s milk without all the side effects. You can also make it at home with raw almonds. It is very simple. It was used in the middle ages first because people didn’t have fidges to keep their milk in. It can replace cow’s milk in recipes too. It tastes great too. I add a little honey.
I absolutely love the Silk brand soy milk products. Especially with tea and cereal. I’m looking forward to trying the chocolate lol
SILK brand chocolate milk is very good. Also chocolate almond milk is very good. :) I look forward to trying another kind. I think I’ve only tried rice milk once. I’ll have to try it. :)
