I love soymilk.
We buy it from the Korean store in cartons and put tapioca boba pearls in it.

mmmm.

The silk soymilk tastes really gross to me. Actually, it doesn't even taste like real soymilk. -__-"

I love soymilk with tapioca pearls! I get it already made that way, sometimes at an Asian Market in my neighborhood. I've only had Silk and the other American brands, so I wouldn't know the difference, but now I'm interested to find out how good Asian brands are!
I use soy or almond milk in coffee, smoothies, chai, and any recipe that uses cow's milk. It's a little sad that it's around $3 a half gallon(in comparison with cow's milk for around $1.50 for a whole gallon), but it makes me feel so much better than cow's milk. I hardly even eat cheese anymore, either.
DIYer, happy to have converted you!!

OMG...there is Soymilk with Tapioca Pearls! I go absolutely bonkers over bubble teas. My favorites are strawberry yogurt with pearls or green tea with pearls.

So you bought this at an Asian market? I have one near my house, I'm going to have to check it out now!

I buy the local off-brand almond milk here, of the sugar-free variety. I just add stuff like a little bit of honey or sweetener and vanilla extract, and it tastes just like flavored milk. My thing is, I love whole milk, but I'm lactose intolerant. So the honey adds that thick, kinda creaminess to it that makes it amazing. And the unsweetened vanilla is great with honey too!

Wow, I love Almond Milk. I recently learned how to make my own-and it's the easiest thing I've ever done. And it's fast--AND DELICIOUS! You should try it. All you need it 1 cup of raw almond (I buy them bulk), 4 cups water, and a blender. You soak the almonds overnight in water (not the same water you use to make it). The next morning drain the water and put the 4 cups water and almonds into a blender and blend away until it's pretty smooth. I use a flour sack to drain the milk into a pitcher--and the left over almond pulp is delicious to use in smoothies etc. You can also dry out the almond pulp and grind it into almond flour (which is super expensive at the stores). So, you just made the best almond milk ever and it cost about 75 cents! You should use the almond milk within the week--as it has no preservatives in it, it won't keep longer than that.

i prefer almond milk over soy since I have thyroid issues and a sensitivity to milk after having my second child. :/ Soy can mess w/ your thyroid (its already jacked up! i don't need it to get worse! lol)I like the Blue Diamond Almond Breeze brand over Silk. Someone mentioned coconut milk... lol... for me thats nothing new. I'm from Puerto Rico and we drink coconut milk and water, sometimes straight from the nut! lol Coconut water has SO many benefits to the body.

I've been drinking Silk soy milk and Almond mild for quite a long time now. And if you're an adult and don't drink a gallon a day of soy milk you'll be okay. As with everything, moderation is the key here.
I do switch the soy and the almond milk out from time to time with each other. Yes Silk ALmond milk is the absolute shit! My husband and I just love it. Here's a tip to get soy and almond milk much less expensive than in regular grocery stores. Frequent buy out or close out stores or what is called around here Clearance centers. They are like Big Lots and Ollies only smaller and local.
Check the food section of said Big Lots and Ollies, they sometimes have the shelf soluable packaged soy milks. We go to a local one called DVO or Direct Value Outlet. You have to check the dates to make sure they are good before you buy, but that hasn't been a problem for us as of yet. I get rice dreams and silk products at that one all the time for a third less than I pay for it in the grocery store. And if you buy the ones in the shelf soluable packaging it will last unopened on your shelf for about a year. That's awesome. SHelf Soluable pacakaging is the square sort of carboard containers with the seal and cap on the top.
