Wed Aug 09 20:59:22 -0700 2006 13875 Nicole 1 1798001 Lots of prior threads on this, most recently: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/310651?user_name=&query=soy+milk Wed Aug 09 21:13:24 -0700 2006 1797961 13819 Karl S 1 1798042 Where do you live? In SD at 99Ranch and other Asian markets, soymilk is made and delivered fresh and hot daily by Lifesoy. Wed Aug 09 21:26:01 -0700 2006 1797961 12123 Cathy 1 1798313 I can wholeheartedly reccomend Silk soy milk. I work in university food service, and Silk is THE one the students prefer. It also contains no artificial ingredients like some of the others. Wed Aug 09 23:26:12 -0700 2006 1797961 18205 mattrapp 2 1802165 Second that. Silk is one of the least "chalky". Try 8th Continent too and West Soy. I prefer "shelf-stable" over refrigerated only for convenience and I don't have to worry about consuming it immediately. I can't comment if there's any difference in taste. Silk: http://www.silksoymilk.com/Products.aspx West Soy: http://www.westsoy.biz/products/index.php 8th Continent: http://www.8thcontinent.com/our_soymilks/index.asp These are all pretty good and readily available at most supermarkets. There's no need to venture to any health food stores, unless you want to, and once there, you'll find a whole world of products.

I tried Silk this week (the unsweetened, refrigerated kind), and I like it a lot. But I think I'm going to gradually sample all the different kinds mentioned until I have established my personal favorite. :) Fri Aug 11 21:00:53 -0700 2006 1797961 13875 Nicole 2 1803129 I put Silk (plain) on my cereal everyday. I've tried others and like this one the best so far. Fri Aug 11 23:14:35 -0700 2006 1802788 16196 AnneM 1 1804915 The fiance and I prefer the 8th Continent to the Silk... We accidentally picked up a "light" version last time and liked that even more. It's been suggested that watering down the normal will give it the same thing.... half the calories, half the sugar, half the fat. Kind of like the "low carb" cranberry juice! LOL! Sun Aug 13 08:35:53 -0700 2006 1797961 16184 SizzlingJoe 1 2908229 Old post, but as I drink about a gallon of soymilk a day, I thought I'd respond. I too love the 8th Continent light in vanilla. The chocolate is delicious as well. Soy slender is also really delicious and very light, but it still manages to be creamy. I've grown out of silk because I feel it's kind of watery.

Tue Sep 04 07:30:18 -0700 2007 2908268 19117 Pollo 1 2908472 I like West Soy, usually plain and occasionally vanilla. Most of the time I buy WestSoy Plus which feels "thicker" to me. I tried Silk once and thought it had less flavor but wasn't bad. Tue Sep 04 07:37:42 -0700 2007 1797961 104084 LNG212 1 2908960 I'm a Vitasoy Light Original girl.
