aldi's soy milk

[monkey086]

I don't know how widespread Aldi's stores are...but they are carrying soymilk now!! I tried it a while ago and I love their original, I actually think I like it better then Silk (that's what I drank before)...and it's like $0.70 cheaper!!

Aldi's in Australia carry thier own brand of soy milk, too. It's very cheap and tastes quite good, but it's made from soy protien isolate, rather than whole beans. I tend to like the whole bean stuff, myself.

A few Aldi's have opened recently in GA.

Very cool to see so many stores now making their own generic brands of soy milk. The stuff is catching on. : )

[rainbowmoon]

Yeah, thats awesome! Aldi is a store with lots of cheap items, to a degree, and so I think it is a really positive step for veg*ism that more veggie friendly products are becoming available at all economic levels as well as being carried by more places. I also read somewhere that Wal Mart has their own brand...
If only someone would decide to make a better soy yogurt. :bow:

Does this make it less healthy? I have no idea so I'm just wondering?

[citronella49]

is it vegan?

[Kiz]

Yes, it is vegan. Whole bean is supposed to be healthier, but I really prefer it because it has a slightly nuttier taste.

I love soymilk, and I LOVE ALDI'S! If they are selling it now I'll go out of my way to get it from there. It's just hard b/c their hours and my work schedule are similar, so it's so hard to get there:(
Great news though!

The ingredient list on the original one that I have is as follows:

filtered water, whole organic soybeans, evaporated organic cane juice, natural flavors, calcium carbonate, sodium citrate, potassium citrate, sea salt, carrageenan, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2, vitamin E, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, zinc sulfate

Hmm...I'm a bit confused because it says "whole organic soybeans" under the ingredients...help!!! Hey...I just thought that maybe it could be different in Australia! Just a thought! Do you know if it is labled by "Friendly Farms"?

[Kiz]

No, it's not Friendly Farms. Next time I buy it I'll have a look.

[DanaJ]

FRiendly farms is the Aldi "brand" generic name though.

I'm bumping this thread because we've been buying soy milk at ALDI. It's labeled "Friendly Farms" (their store brand) and it's $1.39 for one quart of regular or chocolate.

I've been buying aldi's soymilk for a few weeks now. Not bad at all especially for the price. My store carries original, vanilla and chocolate.

[jenni-anti-fur]

Count me in....I tried it and liked it...usually I just buy it buy the Kirkland brand by the case at Costco...but have tried the Aldi brand and its good.

Peace love and Happiness

Really? Are you sure about it because I thought it is an organic product.
