The Soy Milk Showdown


Usually Ian and I buy the President choice regular soy, but if they are out, then the vanilla is ok too.

Basically this stuff is reasonably priced at $3.70 or so for the 2 L jug, is low calorie and low fat, has 6 g protein, lots of calcium, b vitamins, vitamin d and all sorts of other yummy things.

They don't seem to be organic, but really, who cares??

Ian enjoys regular, but I enjoy the sweets, so vanilla is more my thing.


Last weekend, Rennie and Liz (and their No Frill's Grocery Store) were out of PC soy milk due to a sale, so we strayed away and picked up some other types.

Nature Silk in a red box was $3.99. They don't have a website, but here's a home picture of the stuff! Pretty much the same as PC for nutritional stuff, 7 g protein, lots of vitamin b, d, calcium etc etc.

Seems to be organic, but not worth the price premium in my opinion! This stuff is moderately tasty, not as good as PC.



Then to make sure we fully sample everything, Ian also grabbed a carton of So Nice regular for $3.49. It too is organic and is very low calorie, has the same 6 grams protein as PC, and pretty moderate amounts of all sorts of other good stuff in there. Lots of pasty chalkiness all around though in the taste department!
