My personal opinion is that soy milk tastes like grass… I’ve tried it in coffee, alone, on cereal, but I just can’t avoid feeling like someone dumped a handful of freshly cut grass in…
Almond is pretty good on it’s own, but in coffee it tastes like marzipan… It’s not bad, but not the taste I want in my coffee.
I agree. I really like soy milk and was always so confused by the hype for new alternatives—not confused that people might like something else, mind you, just confused at the overall hype, to the extent that people forget soy exists and is better at many of the things the newer alternatives lack. Protein content and water usage being chief among them.
You can buy various flavors, though? Just like any other types of alt milks, there’s kinds that are sweetened and made to taste like vanilla, or kind that’s just sweetened, or chocolate soy, or unsweetened
What funny soy milk are you drinking? It tastes distinct, for sure, rather than being sweetish like oat or almond milk. But in terms of viscosity soy milk has them beat.
I haven’t seen any mentions of soy milk in this thread. I have it unsweetened with some fruit Müsli and even in coffee/tea and I’m good to go
I’m partial to oat milk myself. Vanilla unsweetened is refreshing.

Oat is what tastes most like cow’s milk to me.
I second oat milk. Not watery like soy or almond milk. The other problem with almond milk is the insane amount of water that it takes to grow almonds.
Also it’s way thicker than oat and almond milk.
And contains more protein. Generally I’d say the best option, no clue why people are so hung up on oat specifically.
Sorry that’s false. Less protein than cows milk.
It should be abundantly clear that the comparison was with oat milk…

Soy milk has a more distinct flavor imo - not as sweet either
Also soy is spooooooky~

Oh yeah, I always get unflavored tho because I use it for making pea protein shakes for my Huge Factory Labor Muscles
Lmao, fair enough. Gotta eat big to get big 💪
I find that soy milk tastes thinner and more watery than oat milk.

I don’t know, whatever soy milk Costco sells in Canada.
