Silk True Almond (Soy Milk)

Smooth, Great Tasting Soy Beverages | Silk Soy Beverage Canada

Has anyone on the board tried this? I don't think I'm the only vegan on here and I'm sure at least one of you is lactose intolerant.

I have been using Silk for the longest time but I figured I'd give it a whirl since it's new. I haven't really found a chocolate milk I can drink without being disgusted, but I can honestly say the True Almond chocolate milk is the best one I've ever tasted. It's fucking delicious.

I use the regular True Almond in my cereal and it's so good. Silk is my favorite soy milk and this True Almond tastes even better. I really hope they continue making it and I'm not the only one buying it. I feel like it always happens to me.

That's almond milk, actually, and I use it instead of regular milk. If you have that shit with granola, it's amazing

 

[pac1085]

Its ok, I don't see the point in drinking it though....it has pretty much no protein compared to cows milk or soy milk.

Milk implies the existence of a teet, this is just juice.

That's kind of implied in the name of it. I just call it soy milk out of habit.

Pac, I still consume regular soy milk for the protein and whatnot, I just like the taste of a tall glass of milk straight from the almond's teet.

Max, if there is one person I can tolerate hearing a joke from in this thread, it's you. Anyone else will be reported.

I switched from soymilk to almond milk a while back. Or from soyjuice to almondjuice?

I definitely prefer the flavor of almond milk, and you can actually heat it without it getting really nasty like soymilk does.

I drink soy 'milk' due to being lactose intolerant but have not tried this. I cannot eat nuts due to oxalate content however.

As far as protien content in milk goes, you cannot beat real milk, the protien spectrum of vegetables/soy is not nearly so good. You pretty much need an extra 1/2 as much to make up for the lack of chain diversity in vegetables to create usable equivilents.

That chocolate almond milk is absolutely delicious. First time I had it I felt sick because I drank a quart in about 30 seconds

 

[dantel666]

ive had almond milk before. I use vanilla for my tea, and i just drink the chocolate because it is pretty tasty.

While this is true, I make up for it in other meals. I don't milk gross because I am vegan, I generally find milk udderly disgusting.

I just had a huge glass of the chocolate almond milk with a vegan cinnamon bun. Fuck, give me more!

I'm not vegetarian, or lactose intolerant, but I drink soy milk almost exclusively. I really don't like Silk though, I think they try too hard to taste like real milk. Get Asian-imported soy milk...much tastier.

 

[darren]

I like Silk a lot... it's the first soy milk i tried that wasn't all watery and gross. I tried the Almond stuff a while ago and really like it. Who knew they could make milk from almonds? (or "juice" as the case may be)

Organic Valley used to make a great chocolate soymilk, but they discontinued it about two or three years ago.

I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I do get exposed to a lot of these products, and some of them are really good. I can understand wanting something approaching the taste and mouth feel of milk.

I got away from drinking soymilk on a regular basis due to a few studies on its estrogenic properties. If it's a choice between hormones from regular milk and estrogen from soymilk, I'll take almond milk or organic dairy milk. *laugh*

Not a fan of milk either, except for cereal. Cheese on the other hand.... Old cheese is practically lactose free too.

Hmmm so wait...

Soy milk + Dude drinking soy milk =

curious...

 

[Explorer]

No, dude, it just means that I don't have to shave if I drink enough soy milk regularly.

And I get a little emotional.

 

[Prydogga]

Josh.... You're a vegan? Holy crap that's not what I'd have thought.

Maybe if you chugged a few dozen gallons a day for a few years.
