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”).

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.

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.

I love Lowfat, Original Oat milk or Hazelnut milk in my cereal in the morning. It adds more flavor and texture.

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.

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.

SILK brand unsweetened soy milk is very low in sugar and calories and has just a couple unsaturated fats so it has a creamy texture (works GREAT in chai). I love it and have lately been drinking their omega added version now that is SO good! I didn’t initially like soy milk, especially the unsweetened, but after a few tastes I have really liked it. Large doses of soy can act like an estrogen, and can also help to lower thyroid levels (which is one reason I like drinking it—I have hyperthyroidism).
