I am eating a bowl of my fave cereal right now and I am having a real hard time choking it down with soy milk. I think the first problem is I bought regular when I should have maybe gotten light. I am used to fat free milk. It almost tastes like water. But I have tried soy milk many times and don't like the taste. I have to find something though because I can't go back to milk and I don't want to give up my bowl of cereal every morning.

Thanks!

I prefer Rice Dream to just about every kind of soy milk.

But then I liked the soy milk too.

My wife recently made the switch from real milk. After trying some soy and potato-based milk she landed on Rice Dream and loves it.

Almond milk tastes better than both.

Yeah, if that's an option now I would try that.

I've never tried rice milk.

I have a stupid question, but is rice milk made from...rice?

 

[honeyfugle]

If you liked thin dairy milk, you may find rice milk to be better. I couldn't stand soymilk when I first dtiched dairy..it was thick and tasted like well, soybeans.

I'd suggest trying a few different kinds..rice/soy/almond. You can get sweetened or plain or with vanilla. I bet you can find something that you'd like. Almond milk is my favorite with cereal now, but it's definitely an acquired taste.

I like rice dream better than any soymilk I've tasted too. You might have to try a lot of plant based milks before you find one you like. Also, some brands of soymilk taste a lot better than others so you might want to try a different kind.

Light soymilk tastes awful. (I love plain Silk soymilk.)

I used to drink skim milk when I drank milk, and rice milk is similar. You would probably prefer that.

I switched from skim cow's milk to rice milk on my cereal about three years ago and never looked back. I can't really tolerate soymilk unless it's mixed in with lots of other things.

I think soy drink is more of an aquired taste. For someone used to cow's milk, I'd definatly go with rice. Also there's almond, hazaelnut etc drinks now.

Rice Milk is what I use for cereal. I find soy milk to be too "slimy" for cereal.

 

[Ravenfire]

I never liked soy milk, too much of an aftertaste for me. But I love rice milk!! I use plain when cooking and vanilla in my cereal. I agree, if you're used to skim milk, rice milk is almost identical.

 

[ghelfling]

i used to drink soy milk unsweetened, but i switched to rice milk because i already eat tofu almost everyday, and i sorta had a soy scare -- read too many pros and cons, i guess. anyhoo, now i prefer rice milk. rice chocolate milk is surprisingly good too, considering it looks watery...

have never tasted almond milk though, will try it one of these days...

Rice milk is great. When I ate cereal, I'd put mostly rice milk in, then a tiny bit of soy because rice is runny like water. Almond milk is good, except way too sweet for most foods.

I love vanilla almond milk with puffed kamut.

I agree with this suggestion. Try different kinds - you won't know until you find out! Everyone is different, so we can't really help you that much.

Yes! Slimy is the word to describe it. I drained the milk off of every piece and then squeezed it on the bowl.

I am definitely going to try Rice Dream next.

I do realize everyone's tastes are different and wasn't looking for someone to tell me what I would like. Just some suggestions. And I definitely got some.

I probably never would have even looked specifically for rice dream and I have never heard of almond milk. So this was a very informative thread. I am thinking some of the other flavors mentioned might be good in coffee. That one or two cups a year I crave when it gets really cold.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
