Brand of Soy Milk

I had to drink soy milk for awhile to see if there was an allergy to cows milk (and thank goodness there wasn't....I love cow's milk). The one I thought tasted the best was the vanilla Continent 8. I think that is what it is called. I just know there is an 8 on the front of the jug. Good Luck.

We use the Organic Silk for our son, and are planning on trying whole RAW milk because we have heard great things about it. The Almond Milk by Blue Diamond (especially Vanilla flavored) is really good! Our son was allergic though. :(

similac Isomil it is soy based. that is what my grandson is on and it is for babies.

Silk. My daughter wouldn't drink any other brand of soy milk. She has been drinking soy formula and "milk" since she was about 10 months old. She had a milk allergy. I have heard that giving girls soy will help to prevent breast cancer in the future.

I like Silk Unsweetened. It's in a green carton.

SunSoy tastes great and it is a bit less expensive than other brands. They have some very rich flavors such a very very vanilla that is almost like a dessert it's so good. They have chocolate, strawberry and regular vanilla. You can use it for recipes for cooking like in baking, pasta dishes and cereal. It tastes great in everything.

My second best selection is Silk by Whitewave. They have multiple flavors as well. There is just a bit more of an aftertaste, but you can use it in all sorts of recipes as well. You can find SunSoy and Silk in the dairy section or in the health food section at your regular grocery store. I think it's the cheapest at Wal-Mart or Meijers. It's a bit more expensive at Kroger, Scotts and corner drug stores.

I've tried other brands, but these are the best in my opinion. I've tried Eden and I think it tastes horrible. Way too much cardboard aftertaste... too chalky.

Silk is good, but I love 8th Continental. Especially their chocolate soymilk.

We use Silk Soy. It's great to use in baking and casseroles and the dishes are much more filling. Also, this brand can be purchased in a box of 3 soy milks at Sam for $7 something and in a box of 2 at Wal-Mart or Meijer for $5 something. Otherwise you'll pay $2.50 to $3.99 for a half gallon.

i am allergic to dairy products, i drink westend soy vanilla...its really good

I get the same Silk soy milk as you do for my son, and he's doing great after almost 3 years of drinkg it. It is whole milk but fortified.

We used Silk for our daughter and son. They loved it and with the DHA and Omega its a good choice. If your really concerned about it ask your doc what he/she recommends.

My daughter drinks Great Value Original Soy Milk (Walmart brand) and has had no problems. She loves it, and is developing right on schedule!

I give my son Shaklee's all-natural Soy Protein mix. It is non- Genetically modified soy and completely safe for him. I have actually been giving it to him since he was 6 months old & he loves it. And, he is very healthy. Has your doctor told you that most soy is genetically modified and can be very harmful to you and your child? I would recommend ordering Shaklee's soy mix. I add a teaspoon to 8 oz. of water or juice for my son.
You can find it on http://www.shaklee.net/heatherdoyle

Hope this helps!

K L, My daughter (22 mos.)is sensitive to cow's milk (and wheat), but just a quick note: I found that Soy milk made her EXTREMELY moody. I don't think it's anything to worry yourself over; just something to watch for... If she seems to be fussy after having Soy milk - you may want to try Almond Milk or Rice Milk.
They also have Ice Cream made from Rice Milk (at Raisin Rack) - it's actually really good!!
If you're concerned about her getting DHA, Omega, and calcium, maybe your doctor could recommend some additional foods or supplements. My daughter actually likes things like salmon and avocados...

By "whole" do you mean like how they recommend "whole milk" for 1 year olds? If so I wouldn't worry about that as much with Soy as that refers to the amount of milk fat. Soy will be different. I'm not sure where you live, but I buy the Kroger Private Selections brand (it's quite a bit cheaper than the Silk), although it is in a completely different section (believe me we have complained about this before as it took months before I even knew there was a Kroger brand. At Kroger, all of the other Soy Milk is near the produce section with the organic and "natural" products, but the Kroger brand soy milk is in the dairy case next to the regular milk.

My children are soy milk drinkers, I know of many brands, I don't know if they're considered whole soy, but I'll tell you of them. My kids drink Silk, but there's also 8th Continent, and Giant Eagle brand soy, (which my father loves), also if you want to be consistent, my kids love soy yogurt made by Stonyfield Farms; called O'Soy. They make a variety of flavors like raspberry, peach, strawberry and blueberry. They sell it at Dave's and certain Giant Eagles. Hope this helps.

My six year old has been drinking soy milk since he was 12 months old. I use the same brand you do. So far, he has been doing great. I am not too concerned about what everyone says about soy.
