    So, I’ve been wanting to try to be vegan, but I can’t because of soymilk. I tried Silk (both the blue and red cartons) and I had this itchy feeling in my throat. It was kinda annoying, but I didn’t have to go to the emergency room or anything… o.o It wasn’t a serious problem, but I just want to know whether this is normal or if its an allergy or something of that nature. Thanks!

    Almond Breeze is the best.

    You can try almond milk. I strongly recommend the brand Almond Breeze. Its cheap and comes i two flavors, the original and vanilla. The vanilla flavor one is by far the best!

    If soymilk is whats keeping you from going vegan… then there is nothing keeping you from going vegan.
    There are plenty of alternatives, and they all cost about the same as soymilk.

    I DESPISE soymilk, but if I have to drink it, Silk is the only brand I can stand. Almond milk is easily my favorite. The Silk brand almond is ok, it’s just super thick and super sweet. If you can get Almond Breeze for the Aldi brand almond, it’s awesome.

    Everyone is different, just try different types of milk and different brands and see what you like.

    Soya allergy is common.
    Try oat milk, rice milk, coconut milk etc.

    I don’t like soymilk either! You probably have an allergy to it. While I don’t, I’m not a big fan. There are tons and tons of vegan milks– my favorite is rice milk. :) And remember, you can always be vegan without ANY vegan milk at all. =)

    No that’s not normal. There are other dairy-free milk products besides soymilk you could try. Rice milk, almond milk, hemp, and a bunch more!

    Flaxseed? Oh my gosh. Have you tried it? Is it good. I’ve only have soy, almond, coconut, rice, and the coconut/almond blend.

    Silk is really gross to me (and owned by a major dairy industry). I enjoy other brands like SoGood. I would say Silk is the least appetizing soy milk and it tastes like gritty plastic.

    It’s not an allergy, Silk just tastes different.

    Also, not liking one brand of soy milk doesn’t stop you from going vegan. Veganism is more than just soy milk.

    Almond milk is my favorite. Also, remember that even if you couldn’t have milk (as in vegan milk) it is not necessary in a vegan diet so you could still go vegan! You could also try the non-silk brand of soy and see if it gives you the same affect (or just try another kind of milk, prob. best).

    Rice milk is a good option, tastes pretty blah, but still an alternative. My tongue and lips swell if I drink soy milk, yet I can have things like soy pudding and other things that contain soy. There is almond milk, also, but I’m also allergic to almonds, so just test some out.
