8th Continent Light Soymilk

Milk has calories, soy milk has calories, so if you are trying to cut calories where you can, 8th Continent Soymilk has a Light version. I tried the 'Original' variety, andloved it. It's not too sweet, and there is no strong beany taste which is a characteristic of most soy milks. I had mine with cereal, and I really couldn't tell the difference between the light and full calorie version. I had mine with my morning bowl of cereal (finally finished off that huge box of Kellogg's Flakes with Less Sugar - read the review).

Next, I tried to take a big gulp of this. If you drink it straight (and I don't ever drink soy milk straight, but I tried it for the purpose of this review), at first there is just a mild taste, but then there is a sort of coating left on your tongue, like an aftertaste.

The best thing about 8th Continent Light Soymilk is the nutrition. One cup has only 50 calories, 2 grams of fat, no saturated or trans fat, 2 grams of sugars, 2 grams total carbs, 6 grams of protein, 30% calcium, 25% vitamin D, riboflavin, 15% vitamin B12 and 10% vitamin A. Silk Light has 70 calories and 6 grams of fat. One cup of skim milk contributes 91 calories and 12 grams of sugars.

I still prefer the taste of Rice Dream Rice Milk, but I like the low calorie count of 8th Continent, and it's a little cheaper at $3.50 for the half gallon.

Consider me a convert from Silk to 8th Continent...the improved flavor is excellent with cereal, and if you check labels, it has a lower calorie count.

Soy continent 8th milk
has helped my cholesterol so much. I have a father that is in
renal failure and can't have the what I call the
horomone junk milk.
I love the taste and so does my son the vanilla in cereal and the chocolate.
Thank You
Linda
