Yeah, it's probably my favorite soymilk. It tastes like what I would like cow milk to taste like if it was made of soybeans.

Its only 70 cals a cup too. I think its so much better than cowmilk.

:rockon: It's my absolute favourite! And it's quite low in calories, which I like. And full-fat soy milks tend to make my sinuses go wonky, and this stuff doesn't :D

Interesting. I LOVE the Westsoy full fat. :) I think it tastes the closest to whole dairy milk.

Westsoy is my favorite next to Silk. I've found that the Silk that isn't refrigerated is different from the Silk that is though. I prefer the refrigerated one.

I use Westsoy Organic Unsweetened in cooking, but I never drink it straight really.

I've never liked fullfat milk. I've always had skim, even when I wasn't a vegan. Just tastes better to me..

Yeah, we've always bought 1/2%. I tend to liken whole milk to cottage cheese :p

Hmm, I don't really like to use the fat free anymore. I used
to mix it with full fat, but I now avoid sugar. I do love the Unsweetened
Vanilla, Unsweetened, Splenda Sweetened in Flavors, Vitasoy is also
good and I have started liking the Eden Unsweetened since it so thick.
Before I became a veg*n I used skim (less calories) but I used 2% or 1%
on cereal for years.

The Splenda sweetened WestSoy (Soy Slender) is very good. I've never tried the Vanilla (I want to!) but the Mocha is okay (I'm not a big fan of coffee stuff) and the Chocolate is AWESOME.

I like Westsoy Plus (and their shakes are yummy, too), but I'm not a fan of the fat-free kind or any fat-free/lite/lowfat soy milk. They're ok, but the full fat is much better. I never liked whole milk either. Growing up it was 2% or 1% and as I got older I preferred skim. I'd rather have a few grams of fat and keep the full amount of creamyness and the protein content--when they make it "fat-free" or lower in fat some of the protein is removed (Westsoy Plus has 7 grams protein per cup and the Lite/Lowfat has 4 grams per cup). If you don't believe me, compare the labels! Besides, a little fat is good for you! :yes:
Silk and Sun Soy are my favorites, but I like the store brand from Stop & Shop (a local supermarket), too.

tearh - The non-fat soy milk I buy from WestSoy has 6 grams of protein per cup.

i love the westsoy plus vanilla but it is kind of high calorie compared to the lite or nonfat.

I'm a big fan of Silk, but Westsoy is pretty good. We use it at work for coffee drinks, and it steams really well.

I've tried the WestSoy Soy Slender Vanilla this week...
OMG!!11oneone It's awesome :smitten: Plus it's high in protein, and sugar free :yes:

I guess I am the only one around here that hates westsoy. I usually make my own soymilk, but my favorite is Edensoy Extra plain. I occasionally buy full circle or silk if it's on sale or I have a coupon. I was upset to learn that sun soy and 8th Continent aren't vegan.

Ugh, I just bought westoy low fat, rather than fat free, and I hate it. Its really chalky. I want to go back to fat free.

I do admit that the non-fat does taste better. Perhaps consider switching brands? Silk is higher in fat and it's really good.

Yeah, I am going to try vanilla silk, since I always add splenda to the plain. Thanks cissy :)
