    The Everything Non-Dairy Thread

    The term "soy milk" has been around for over a century. Why was it never a problem until now? If the dairy industry forces soy milk to be renamed, I would go something like "crueltyfree soy" or "kindlife soy" or "greathealth soy" or "goodearth soy" - something that carries the subtle message...

    The Everything Non-Dairy Thread

    Trying Silk Ultra-Protein in my coffee this morning. Not bad for coffee creamer. It is much thicker than original Silk. I also tried Silk Ultra-Protein in my cereal - it was terrible - thick and gross. I suspect Silk Ultra-Protein would be good for smoothies. I am curious as to whether Silk...

    The Everything Non-Dairy Thread

    I have never found a good vegan coffee creamer. I have spent a lot of money trying several recommended brands, none of them impressed me. BTW: I dislike anything flavored. I don't want my coffee to taste like hazelnut, or maple, or even vanilla. Vegan coffee creamers tend to be very expensive...

    EU Consuming fish is more ethical than eating plants

    Might be worth remembering: 1. About 2/3rds of crops that are grown, are grown to feed livestock. So if growing crops kills animals, then eating livestock makes the situation worse. 2. I think more whales are killed by becoming entangled in fishing nets, than are killed directly by whalers. 3...

    Instant Pot-Creamy soya yogurt

    I used to make yogurt in wide-mouth 32oz Mason jars I put in the instant pot. I stopped doing that because it was easier to mix in thickeners in the pot, as opposed to the jars. I do prefer just soy and water soy milk. But I think more protein might help create better thickness. I am curious...

    Instant Pot-Creamy soya yogurt

    Wonder why my yogurt always comes out thin? Could it be the Now-Food probiotic? Yogurt I buy refrigerated at this Asian market I go to, generally comes out thicker. I think the protein content may have something to do with it. Edensoy may work better. Silk has an "ultra-protein" soy milk that I...

    Instant Pot-Creamy soya yogurt

    The trick is: carefully whisk in guar gum after the yogurt is made. My soy yogurt always came out too thin. I read up on ways to thicken. There are many ways, but almost everybody recommends using agar agar. I tried agar agar, and everything else, but nothing really worked well. It took me many...

    Using slightly sour soy milk to make yogurt?

    I had some soy milk that still has not reached expiration date. But it was very slightly sour, it curdled a bit in my coffee. I decided to try and make yogurt with it. Used my standard recipe - which I will post in a separate thread. Yogurt seems to be okay. Maybe a little more tart than usual...

    Should I make my own soymilk?

    I am not all that crazy about all organic, or anything like that. But, I just figured, in a forum like this, it might be worth mentioning. I used to get Kirkland plain soymilk at Costco. It was much like the shelf stable Silk. But Costco has not carried it in years. Costco only has the vanilla...

    Let's claim back vegetarianism

    That is what the word has come to mean. But I mean if we break the word down to it's prefix and suffix. I found this post on another forum, I think it's correct: Seems to me the literal meaning of "vegetarian" would be: somebody who practices or believes in a vegetable diet. Eggs and Milk are...

    Should I make my own soymilk?

    I have a soyjoy machine as well, and was having a problem with thin soy milk. I have seen instructions, on youtube, about how to make soymilk with an instant pot, and a vitamix, I have both. Straining is the part I like least. Huge mess. I will try Trader Joe's, if I get the chance, they are...

    How to avoid (plant-based) milk waste

    Before I came across this thread, I started another thread asking if should make my own soymilk. I am also the only person in my house who drinks soymilk. I have also had difficulties staying stocked. About the lowest price I can find on soybeans is a little more than $2 a pound. If making my...
