Soy + Coffee for the win

[jducoeur]

A note, mostly to myself. My experiences with soy milk haven't been joyous: I've found off-flavors that are off-putting. But I've been realizing lately that some of my stomach problems may be mild lactose issues, and so the morning latte I'm having a bit too often probably isn't helping. So today's experiment was soy instead of the usual skim milk.

Complete win: the soymilk version of the Skinny Vanilla is not just better-tasting than the skim milk version, it's better than the full-fat, full-sugar version. The flavors of the soy and iced coffee balance perfectly. So I appear to have a new favorite drink at Starbuck's...

I've found that vanilla soy milk is really good in breakfast cereal if you're looking for another place to try it.

I've tried soy milk in cereal a number of times, which I believe have included vanilla, and never been happy with it for myself. It simply doesn't taste 'right' by comparison to what I've always had.

It took a little getting used to, yes, but I now prefer it. It's less heavy, and adds a nice amount of sweetness to the cereal.
