Mooove Over Milk: Soy Milk Breakdown

January 27, 2010

When you buy a carton of soy milk, you never know what you're going to get. With so many different brands and flavors, they all seem to taste different. Aside from your taste buds, your body will also notice a difference, because they all vary greatly when it comes to nutrition too, especially in the protein and calcium categories. I thought it'd be helpful to compare a few popular brands to see which type best suits your needs.

1 cup of soy milk	Calories	Total fat (g)	Sat. fat (g)	Sodium (mg)	Carbs (g)	Sugars (g)	Protein (g)	Calcium (%)
Silk Original	100	4	.5	120	8	6	7	30
Silk Unsweetened	80	4	.5	85	4	1	7	30
Silk Vanilla	100	3.5	.5	95	10	7	6	30
Silk Very Vanilla	130	4	.5	140	19	16	6	35

Agreed. I love Silk Vanilla. All I put in my cereal.

I love the Silk Omega-3 as well. I picked it up by mistake one day (I had thought it was Silk Vanilla) and was pleasantly surprised. I was never a fan of Silk Original (unflavored) but the unflavored Silk Omega-3 is delicious. It tastes great and seems to be creamier than the other brands/types of soy milk I've tried.

I'm with almond milk!

With soy I always use Silk Light Vanilla but sometimes I switch to almond milk to mix it up.

I love vanilla soymilk. It's a great complement to cereals, bars, and more. I think it's great that many store are releasing store brand versions of soy milk, like Meijer and Kroger near where I live. They certainly are cheaper than the name brands.

My fav isn't soy milk - but almond milk. I love Almond Breeze

I love the Silk Vanilla Light. I use it for my oats very morning. But I use fat free regular milk for my cereal and protein powder.

i used to drink a lot of soy milk but have changed to almond milk! it has fewer calories, is actually better tasting and the unsweetened tastes great in vanilla1

I love Silk Light Vanilla. The flavor adds nice flavor to oatmeal and plain cereals without needing added sugar.

I like the Silk Omega-3 (not listed above). It's unflavored and fortefied with a ton of extra vitamins. Plus, one cup has 40% of your daily calcium! http://www.silksoymilk.com/products/silk-wellness/dha-omega-3-and-calcium I'm surprised about the vanilla - I've never purchased it before because I assumed all flavored milk has a ton of added sugar. I might have to try it since it only has one more gram of sugar than what I drink now.

how interesting that the vanilla is better for you, aside from sugar. Why is this?
