I have come (see what I did?) to really enjoy soy milk. My son has a milk allergy, so that’s what I get for him. I didn’t like it at first, because I wanted it to be milk. Once I quit thinking about it as milk, and starting thinking about it as just another drink, I really liked it. It has a nice nutty flavor, and is very good on a bland cereal like Cheerios. A big cold glass is also my favorite post-run recovery drink. Quality matters, too. Silk is very good, and tastes different than the Costco brand, for example. Some brands seems to be thicker than others. I wonder, if you end up finding soy milk repulsively thick as well, if you could thin it a bit with water? Oh, and rice milk isn’t anywhere near as thick, but it also doesn’t have the awesome protein content that soy milk does. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/almond-milk-feels-like-im-drinking-elf-come/631466)._
