Better Than Milk Vegan Beverage Mix, Soy, Light, 21.4-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 2) I used to mix dry milk powder into my cup of hot tea but I knew I needed to cut my dairy intake way down and then when I read that milk negates the effects of the tea's antioxidants I decided to switch to soy milk powder. The soy milk has more calories, more carbs, and less protein and calcium than the instant cow's milk. But then again the soy milk has fiber and the cow's milk does not. Also I just think that anything plant derived is better for us than anything animal derived. This soy milk powder is very tasty but does not mix easily even in hot liquids so I had to buy a mini-mixer Norpro Cordless Mini Mixer. Even though this soy milk powder is classified as Original (not vanilla) still it has a tiny bit of sweetness but not too much and if you think about it, powdered cow's milk is inherently sweet too. The directions say to use two tablespoons per eight ounces of water but you really need to use more, like twice that much, to get a good creamy beverage. I'm glad I bought it and will continue to buy and enjoy it. Update - now that I've been using it for several weeks I've come to realize that it actually will dissolve in hot and cold liquids with just a bit of stirring, no need to use the mini mixer. Another update - yummy mixed with V8 or other vegetable juice. This makes for an excellent mid afternoon snack since it delivers both protein and a serving of vegetables in a delicious cold drink. One serving and I can head out for a five mile walk totally fueled and still not hungry when I get home. Looking forward to trying in grapefruit juice as recommended by another reviewer. Reader Reviews I have used this product numerous time in the last several years. It is an inexpensive way to drink soy milk. Moreover, I use it for cooking and baking. My only issue with it is that it is a bit sweet. |
