Silk True Almond (Soy Milk)

Smooth, Great Tasting Soy Beverages | Silk Soy Beverage Canada

Has anyone on the board tried this? I don't think I'm the only vegan on here and I'm sure at least one of you is lactose intolerant.

I have been using Silk for the longest time but I figured I'd give it a whirl since it's new. I haven't really found a chocolate milk I can drink without being disgusted, but I can honestly say the True Almond chocolate milk is the best one I've ever tasted. It's ....ing delicious.

I use the regular True Almond in my cereal and it's so good. Silk is my favorite soy milk and this True Almond tastes even better. I really hope they continue making it and I'm not the only one buying it. I feel like it always happens to me.

That's almond milk, actually, and I use it instead of regular milk. If you have that shit with granola, it's amazing

pac1085 · 11-06-2010, 12:40 PM

Its ok, I don't see the point in drinking it though....it has pretty much no protein compared to cows milk or soy milk.

MaxOfMetal · 11-06-2010, 12:44 PM

Milk implies the existence of a teet, this is just juice.

That's kind of implied in the name of it. I just call it soy milk out of habit.

Pac, I still consume regular soy milk for the protein and whatnot, I just like the taste of a tall glass of milk straight from the almond's teet.

Max, if there is one person I can tolerate hearing a joke from in this thread, it's you. Anyone else will be reported.

I switched from soymilk to almond milk a while back. Or from soyjuice to almondjuice?

I definitely prefer the flavor of almond milk, and you can actually heat it without it getting really nasty like soymilk does.

SirMyghin · 11-13-2010, 11:43 AM

I drink soy 'milk' due to being lactose intolerant but have not tried this. I cannot eat nuts due to oxalate content however.

As far as protien content in milk goes, you cannot beat real milk, the protien spectrum of vegetables/soy is not nearly so good. You pretty much need an extra 1/2 as much to make up for the lack of chain diversity in vegetables to create usable equivilents.

CooleyJr · 11-13-2010, 11:54 AM

That chocolate almond milk is absolutely delicious. First time I had it I felt sick because I drank a quart in about 30 seconds

dantel666 · 11-13-2010, 12:56 PM

ive had almond milk before. I use vanilla for my tea, and i just drink the chocolate because it is pretty tasty.

While this is true, I make up for it in other meals. I don't milk gross because I am vegan, I generally find milk udderly disgusting.

I just had a huge glass of the chocolate almond milk with a vegan cinnamon bun. ...., give me more!

Thep · 11-14-2010, 07:58 PM

I'm not vegetarian, or lactose intolerant, but I drink soy milk almost exclusively. I really don't like Silk though, I think they try too hard to taste like real milk. Get Asian-imported soy milk...much tastier.

darren · 11-14-2010, 08:09 PM

I like Silk a lot... it's the first soy milk i tried that wasn't all watery and gross. I tried the Almond stuff a while ago and really like it. Who knew they could make milk from almonds? (or "juice" as the case may be)

Explorer · 11-14-2010, 10:09 PM

Organic Valley used to make a great chocolate soymilk, but they discontinued it about two or three years ago.

I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I do get exposed to a lot of these products, and some of them are really good. I can understand wanting something approaching the taste and mouth feel of milk.

I got away from drinking soymilk on a regular basis due to a few studies on its estrogenic properties. If it's a choice between hormones from regular milk and estrogen from soymilk, I'll take almond milk or organic dairy milk. *laugh*

Not a fan of milk either, except for cereal. Cheese on the other hand.... Old cheese is practically lactose free too.

Hmmm so wait...

Soy milk + Dude drinking soy milk =

curious...

Explorer · 11-17-2010, 09:19 PM

No, dude, it just means that I don't have to shave if I drink enough soy milk regularly.

And I get a little emotional.

Prydogga · 11-17-2010, 09:21 PM

Josh.... You're a vegan? Holy crap that's not what I'd have thought.

Maybe if you chugged a few dozen gallons a day for a few years.

Adam Of Angels · 11-17-2010, 09:32 PM

I know I will sound like a hippy in saying this... But I've naturally become more and more respectful of nature as I've gotten older, and eating natural, raw foods seems to be more and more ideal. As a matter of fact, it's as if my body has adverse reactions to anything but raw, live foods lately. If I eat organic, fresh vegetables, fruits, and nuts/grains, I feel really awesome. Animal protein gives me a headache.

aslsmm · 11-17-2010, 10:22 PM

dude im a vegan too. haha that is the most metal diet of all. me and my wife bought a milker so our soy milk is really cheap, so is our almond milk. also have you use daiya cheese? it is the best. any way im excited, vegans kick ass.

josh pelican · 11-18-2010, 07:27 AM

I can't ....ing get Daiya around here! I was going to order some from Ontario, but they ran out of small bags. If I want any, I have to order five lb. bags. They said I can package it up and freeze it, but that's a lot of ....ing cheese!

I've been trying to get my hands on for several months now.

Whenever people make fun of me for being vegan I just tell them I prefer to live my life without meat in my mouth. Seems pretty logical for a straight dude.

Linda Blair (from The Exorcist) is a vegan. Apparently Woody Harrelson and Alec Baldwin are, too.

Rumor has it that Geezer Butler was a vegan, thus proving being vegan is metal. Dan Briggs from Between the Buried and Me is, too. Not to mention Ildjarn (one man black metal) and Merzbow. Eat my vegan friendly shit, everyone.

I'm going to drink some chocolate almond milk now.

josh pelican · 11-18-2010, 07:30 AM

Apparently Mike Tyson is a vegan, but I don't ... I don't even have anything witty to say. I just don't think he is.
