Save the soy for veggie burgers

| | Comments (3)

It's a new year and I am all about trying new things, so why not soy milk? I like veggie burgers and breakfast sausages made with soy, so why not milk?

At 50 calories for an 8-ounce glass, it's 40 calories lower than the fat-free milk I am used to. Its supporters say soy products fight breast, prostate and colon cancer. Studies say it promotes heart health and lower cholesterol. It's high in fiber and protein. It's supposed to be good for your body.

But guess what....it tastes like liquefied cardboard. Wait, my second sip tasted more like bland baby food. Add chocolate syrup to it and it still tastes nasty. It doesn't have the sweet, creamy taste milk does and the texture is much too thin. I wanted to like it. I wanted to be able to enjoy a health food, but I don't. Besides, who cares about calories when it comes to taste? My fat-free milk is full of calcium goodness.

Soy beans might be good for my heart, but I think I'll let cow's milk keep doing my body good and leave the soy milk to someone else.

Did you try vanilla flavored?

Ya know, I thought about that, but I didn't know what vanilla milk would taste like on cereal. I might have to try it, in a smaller bottle!
