I absolutely love trying new foods! My recent food kick– well, technically drink kick– is trying new non-dairy beverages. I drink iced coffee with a splash of milk or a non-dairy beverage almost every morning, so I’m always looking for fun, new ways to trade-up its nutrition.

I’m not on twitter, but I love adding garlic to any veggies I’m cooking that are usually used to “bulk up” a dinner. Like last night I made gnocchi with sauteed onions, carrots, broccoli, garlic, and mushroom tomato sauce. Did you know garlic has amazing healing properties too? I guess it needs to be fresh, but I’ve read it can do wonders.

What does Tempt Vanilla Soymilk score?
What about Silk light vanilla?
I’d like to see a comparison of the sweetened silk (non-flavored) with non-flavored rice and almond milk.
What does the Silk Almond Milk (oringinal flavor) score? Thanks
Ditto on the Silk Almond Milk, although I drink the vanilla flavor. This is really interesting…I’ve been trying to branch out on my milk ’substitutes’ lately and this is so helpful!
ok so i drink the almond mild from blue diamond but i think i better switch to the unsweetened version-thanks for the tip!
I’m wondering about Silk Light Vanilla and Chocolate also! Thanks!
[...] That I made using Enriched Vanilla Rice Dream. I had been buying the regular vanilla but I read on Tina’s Blog that the Enriched version had much better nutritional information – so I traded up! [...]
@Ambre: Silk Light Vanilla scores an 82!
@Julie @ Pickley Pear: Silk Light Chocolate scores a 56.
@Erin: We haven’t scored the Silk Almond milk yet, but thank you for drawing my attention to it. I want to try it!
Yay! I am so excited to see that my favorite Almond milk scores so high! I knew that soymilk did, but I try to stay away from soy products – so i am super happy about almond milk! What about hemp or hazelnut milk (which you tried the other day)?
@Jen: NuVal hasn’t rated hemp and hazelnut milk yet, but I am dying to know their scores!
