Try it! You might like it!



Everything that is brought into the house, in terms of Vegan food, I try. How can I shop for and prepare something if I do not know what it tastes like?
You should do it too. Got Tofu in your fridge? Prepare a meal and give it a taste. There are some recipes with tofu that I do not like. There are others I fight the kid over. One thing I did not think I would like was Soy milk. So I drank some, cold out of the fridge in a large glass. I tried the plain flavored one. No vanilla or chocolate. If I wanted to see what this stuff REALLY tasted like, I had to drink it in it`s most naked form. No sipping either! Drink it down so you can really get the taste of it. Guess what? I loved it!
I loved it so much that I do not even drink milk anymore. Plain soy milk in cold cereal is heaven to me. I do not use cream in my coffee anymore. I use Silk brand creamer. I bet my cholesterol thanks me.
There are many types of *milk* that you can purchase for your child other then Soy and you can also buy them all in different flavors. The staples in our house are Plain Soy Milk, Plain Rice Milk, Plain Oat Milk, and Plain Almond Milk. Dd has ventured into some of the holiday flavored soy milks that are only sold at Christmas time. Her favorite right now is Westsoy Chocolate Peppermint Stick.
Now you may like some of these milks and you may want to wash your mouth out with others. I personally do not like the texture of Oat milk. My Dd loves it. You can make some really different flavor nuances in your cooking when you try different milks. I use Almond milk in some of my cookie baking. You can really taste the nuttiness in the results.
I will probably never go back to milk in my cereal or cream in my coffee again. If I had not sucked it up and tried it, I would have never known how good it tastes!
Try it! You might really like it!

  2. I will just have to remember that you need American Measuring utensils and send them off across the Atlantic to you.
