My 9yo son prefers soy milk over regular milk. I like the flavor also. I also use a soy protein powder as an after workout protein boost.

the only thing you have to watch for is the amount of sugar. The vanilla flavored soy milk (quart) has more sugar in it than a gallon of skim milk. But this just depends on the brand also.
You can make your own cheaper by using soy flour found in the baking aisle (I found it at Walmart), and maybe sweetening it with splenda and vanilla extract. Just an idea.

I really like soy milk, before trying it I thought it would taste odd but it's good.

I like soymilk. It's lighter than regular milk, and I think that because cows take in alot of hormones and antibiotics, it passes on into their milk. Thts why i don't eat meat also.

I have been drinking soy milk for a while now. I first tried some when my Aunts (sisters of my Father) were drinking it for breakfast at a family picnic.

I have been having problems with drinking regular milk for a while now. Actually I think it started being really noticeable around the time I was first pregnant with Jessica (over 5 years ago now).

I first found a coupon for 8th Continent Soymilk and really liked the Chocolate Soymilk by 8th Continent for just drinking. Now I typically use Silk Soymilk for with cereal and smoothies.

I find that Silk Soymilk isn't quite as sweet tasting to me as 8th Continent Soymilk.

However, I don't consume a lot of stuff with a lot of sugar in it typically so sometimes I am pretty sensitive to something tasting too sweet.

you all make a soy milk and fruit smoothie sound good. I think I will look into the health benefits and give it a try.

I have it in my house because my son has a adverse reaction to drinking cow's milk. He gets a little bit sick. We've come up with many concoctions in order to make it more fun for him. Then of course me and his sister drink it too! All different kind of fruit mixture smoothies are the favorite in the house.
