blech. I thought I would give it a try, especially after it was recommended by my sister, but I really don’t like it. At all. I bought the ‘vanilla’ flavor, thinking it would help mask the soy flavor, but I found it bitter. And with a really horrible aftertaste that stuck with me for hours. I had it on my cereal, so I wasn’t like I was just drinking it by itself.
So – for any soy milk lovers out there – if I stick with it, does it get better? Does it get less bitter? Did I pick the wrong flavor? Did I pick the wrong brand? Do I need to make sure it’s supa cold before I drink it? I made the switch to lactose-free milk a while back, and that definitely took some time to get used to – and it’s based on actual milk.
I should know better than to try foods recommended by family. My dad likes greek olives, my mom likes kimchi, and my older brother likes a whole host of foul smelling foods, including buttermilk, sour kraut, and emmenthaler cheese. Perhaps I’ll finally learn my lesson …

Sauerkraut smells great! I also drink 1% milk, no soy experience…
cold high dollar chocolate is the only palatable kind.i use high dollar vanilla on my cereal. there are people who eat fish cured in lye. everything is an acquired taste.
I usually get the chocolate flavored soymilk. Brother number 2 doesn’t drink any of it.
By the way, Emmentaler isn’t all that stinky. You should try Gruyère or (if you can find it) Appenzeller if you want a stinky cheese.
Aha! I discovered the secret to getting people to post comments: insult their culinary tastes …
Drinking skim milk. Why mess with a goodâ„¢ thing?
