Looking for an alternative to dairy? These days, supermarket shelves are lined with everything from soy, rice, nut and even hemp milk. Lucy doesn't drink much of either--and no dairy; she's allergic--but for the few times she does, we found the choices completely overwhelming. After flirting with rice and almond milks, we discovered a few problems. The additive carrageenan, commonly used in alternative milks, irritates my stomach terribly. Other brands had far too much added sugar or were too filmy. Finally, we landed on Edensoy, an organic, unsweetened soy milk that actually tastes great!
It seems the jury is still out on soy's health benefits, but it's nice to know there's something we can use those few times Lu has cereal. It sure beats using water!
