I might have felt different about it if I was looking for something to emulate dairy and had been told by people that soy milk tastes almost the same as dairy.

Hemp milk *has* taken off! I worked as a barisa from 2017 until this year, and we always offered lots of options for alternative milks, and I loved seeing the trends. We stopped carrying rice milk in 2018 because no one ordered it. Ironically, they'd taken oatmilk away before I started for the same reason, but by 2019 we had to start carrying it again. Hemp milk has always been the choice of the real crunchy folks, but it really took off around 2018/19 when people started talking about how harmful almond milk was for the environment. It enjoyed a short hayday though, because then oat milk BLEW UP! To the point that, not only were we constantly running out, but our suppliers couldn't keep up with demand! They're finally able to keep up with demand, and a couple more brands are available commercially as well, but man we still struggle to stock enough!

"oak milk" - Lol! I missed that when I watched the original video. And "Silk Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk" does seem to be pretty good with only a few ingredients. I had been drinking only Trader Joe's unsweetened shelf-stable soy milk, which literally has only two ingredients: organic soy beans and water. I figured that was the best because I didn't want anything else in it. I make sure I get enough calcium from a cal/mag/zinc supplement. But lately I've been reading that getting calcium from food, either "naturally" as in cow's milk, or in plant milk as an additive (typically calcium carbonate) is best. Though some say that cow's milk is still a better source of calcium than plant milk with it added. I've lately been trying Milkadamia Macadamia nut milk, which also has few ingredients, and only calcium (as calcium phosphate) and vitamin D added. Since calcium phosphate is the same form found in cow's milk I thought that might be the most equivalent? Sadly though, Milkadamia is very low in protein with only 1 gm per 8 oz.

In germany a lot of hemp milk came out in the last year.

[@Radjehuty]

Unfortunately a lot of what she says in this video sounds off because it's clearly removed from its context. Comments like rice milk not containing gluten could have been said because she was comparing grain milks specifically as a preference or Banana milk having B12 because maybe she was comparing other fruit milks we haven't heard about. She mentioned hemp milk not needing as much additives for stability and maybe her comments about "clean" ingredients were likening it to the process of creating hemp milk as compared to pea or potato milk which is very highly processed. Either way, for me nutrition of milks is not black and white and revolves around whatever gaps I might have in my diet. I currently drink Soy milk for the protein although I would consider Almond milk because adequate Vitamin E is far harder to satisfy compared to protein because I eat a lot of beans, grains, nuts/seeds and tofu. Vitamin E however isn't found in significant amounts except for a handful of foods and I don't always want to eat almonds or shit tons of hazelnuts or peanuts all the time to meet my needs. In theory, grain milks could be chosen because grains are often a good source of zinc though I don't know to what degree it's reflected in milks. Either way, I'd never choose a milk that isn't fortified. I choose milks specifically because it's fortified because I don't want to buy garbage bag-fulls of greens and stuff my face daily to struggle to meet my needs. I also feel cheated because she sounds like she really knows what she's talking about and I wish they'd release the full version because we were clearly robbed.

Anyone miss the Elmhurst Peanut Chocolate milk? It was so good, I wish it came back!

I keep forgetting to try soy milk, I was told early on that it would mess up my my type 1 diabetes, but cows milk also has estrogen. 🤷‍♀️

[@Castkett4ever]

Finally someone else who only consumes soy milk because the rest either doesn't have enough protein or tastes extremely weird

[@hugomarquez3189]

Love Swayze, but I swear, it’s time for her to change her name to Unnatural Protein. If we did a drinking game for every time she says protein, we’d all end up in the ER.

Love soy milk! But because of low food map diet I drink oat or rice. Also don't like almond milk! Thank you for always taking about nutrition and giving such great information! Love your videos

[@wilyMatzo]

I’m with you on the pea milk (and pea protein powder too). Tastes weird and bitter to me and I just can’t. Soy and oat milk are my faves.

[@BulbasaurLeaves]

I can't stand pea protein powder. It has a weird salty, ashy almost metallic taste to me. On the other hand, Ripple tastes more or less the same as soy milk to me.

You should make a DIY calcium fortified soymilk video. It's probably an easy thing to do, but i haven't seen any video about how to add calcium to homemade soymilk.

[@BrooklynHudson]

Same here. Best for coffee... Silk Organic Unsweetened Soy Milk.

I also read that most places that cultivate almond is causing local endangerment of (non-honey) bee species due to the amount of space they need, which requires a lot of land to be cleared. I don't think it is as bad as palm oil, but I guess it is similar. Personally, I do enjoy the taste of both rice and soy milk, but I am Asian, maybe I am bias.

[@hannahmitchell87]

How have I never thought of making pea milk from my protein powder????

[@heidih3048]

Pea protein powder doesn't make a milklike substance when mixed with water. I have tried.

[@allipi8571]

I agree with the pea milk

[@Dennise_Who]

I like the way coconut milk tastes. The problem is it starts tasting soapy in a couple days.

[@eduardoo31]

Here in brazil the only plant milk that's not outrageously expensive is soy milk. Which so happens to be my favorite, so yay. When it comes to other types of plant milk though I've only ever tried homemade versions, which are almost always underwhelming

[@amberdavies5998]

Just to pipe up about rice milk. I thought it want great until recently when I had to go on a low fodmap diet. Its the only milk you can drink freely and it didnt want to have to worry about limiting and measuring my milks. Its quite sweet but not unpleasant and definitely nice in coffee and cereal. So its probably all us low fodmapers who are drinking all the rice milk 🤣🤣

[@spandel100]

Does your milk brand have added oil?I look for that and avoid.Take care.

[@MandalaBunnyhome]

I love how ricemilk tastes but got scared off of it because of arsenic concerns >_

[@heidih3048]

It's sweet when sugar is added-- not on its own, right?

[@DM-ql6ps]

Did she mention nitrogen fixation with potatoes? There's some minor evidence that potatoes might be able to fix a small amount of nitrogen, but they aren't very effective at it. It's the legumes, soy, pea, peanut, etc that are actually really good nitrogen fixers. The research farms that I've worked at sometimes grow peas as a cover crop primarily for their ability to fix nitrogen. No one ever grows potatoes to fertilize the soil, but we do with legumes fairly often.

I make my own hemp milk. I put two tablespoons of hempseed into my coffee grinder and grind. Add it to a cup of water in the blender and blend. 10 grams of fat and 7 grams of protein providing 120 calories. Far superior in nutritional content and flavor than anything you can buy.

[@banditnmbr087]

The ripple milk and yogurts definitely have a bitter taste to me. I do like the silk high protein milk. I've not tried other pea milks so i did not know if it was just the ripple that had that taste.

[@TheNinjaInConverse]

I ADORE chocolate rice milk and horcacata.

[@amandahugginkiss9065]

Oat milk is my fav but if Aldi is out I do like unflavored soy milk. Ripple milk tastes like baby formula to me. I was so disappointed in coconut milk. I thought I would love it in my smoothies but I did not. Idk why, it just didn't taste right to me

[@kylie3038]

That banana milk straight up smells/tastes like grass clippings to me

[@meredithkenton]

Milkadamia isn't that bad but it is really expensive. It did land me in urgent care but that's not its fault - I didn't know I was allergic to nuts and had been drinking their creamer in my coffee for a week. :D
