My doctor recently told me that I shouldn't be drinking milk. That it's very hard to digest, etc. I've read a lot about pro-milk and anti-milk. While I don't have milk every day, there is just nothing better w/ cake, cookies, brownies....dietary staples for me!
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has tried a milk alternative and how they like it and if they use it for cooking/baking as well. I tried some ricemilk last week & used it on my cereal every day (just fine) and drank some small glasses w/ cake or brownie. It wasn't bad - not quite like milk. It's sort of how you drink a dark soda and expect it to be Coke but suprise! it's Dr. Pepper. Not bad, just different. My doctor told me rice milk -not soy milk. I've had the silk soy milk in the past & like it fine but it has SO MUCH sugar in it, I did not use it. The rice milk has less sugar than milk, but also no protein.

I've had vanilla soy milk and I've had chocolate. (the Silk brand and one other which I can't think of off the top of my head)

They were ok. I grew up on a dairy farm so finding a milk alternative has ALWAYS been tough for me...even low fat milk varieties!

My husband is not suppose to drink cow's milk, so we do drink soy milk (vanilla & chocolate). I've never tried rice milk before.

One of the little boys I watch drinks rice milk due to a milk allergy, I have tried it its not terrible but I am not a big milk drinker no matter! I like it on cereal thats about it for me.
