milochka Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 hey yall, so i've come to a conclusion that i pretty much detest soy milk *plus i'm trying to watch my soy consumption having previous thyroid problems and all* ahem, so i need your suggestions on the best milk *nut, rice, hemp, etc.* that is the least processed and would make great HOT CHOCOLATE much love and peace! p.s. the way i make my hot chocolate at home is that i get some dark chocolate, heat it up with what used to be at first dairy and then soy milk until it begins to boil, then turn it off and put it in a blender and then pour in a cup *blending it gives it the TASTIEST foam ever* and ENJOY!

Guest Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I think almond is your best bet. I've tried chocolate rice milk and it just wasn't even remotely rich(odd because one of my favorite chocolate bars is a rice milk bar) but almond milk is quite good. I've never tried it homade though. I have made almond milk(its great) but not chocolate almond milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milochka Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 veganpotter, first of all, could i just make a note and applaud the fact that you're always the first one to answer my posts, sometimes, within minutes i don't really need the milk to be chocolate, because i add dark chocolate to it. i shall try almond milk then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Do you have a soymilk maker or have you tried making it??? Its considerably cheaper and you can make it taste however you want...most vegan milks from stores are a bit too sweet for my tastes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Veganpotter that almond milk is your best bet. But I have found that the almondmilk sold in nutrition stores is awafully sweet. What I do instead is I buy some pure almond butter and take a heaping tablespoon and add it in a blender with bottled water. Blend it up and, it tastes awesome. If you ever want to try a great nut butter, go to www.livingtreecommunity.com. It's the best nut butter I have ever tasted. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veganitaliana Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Here's my son's favourite almond milk recipe that he loves making himself. Soak one cup of raw almonds overnight at room temperature. It's best to buy the shelled ones and remove the shells yourself. In the morning rinse them well and blend to liquify. With a cheese cloth or strainer remove the large chunks. Put the liquid back in the blender. Add half a cup of coconut water and a little vanilla (preferrably from a real bean). For a chocolaty flavour add a little caroub powder. Blend until foamy. Sinfully delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pink Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'd swich to Almond Milk but I need my protein. But I want to go the ways of the healtier lifestyle so I figured buy fresh Soybeans and add them in with fruit and make 100 percent non-proccessed fruit protein shakes. So I reccommend Soy since it has protein Benefeits. But I hear Almond is the best for taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopussoir Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 regular almond milk is kinda bland. Use the Vanilla almond milk and youre in business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with those soy shakes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you create it yourself with a TBSP and add water a even a sprinkle of vanilla. The best milk in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganDude Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Yeah, almonds are higher in protein then soybeans.So if you use the same amount, the almond milk would be higher in protein.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
health freak Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 almond milk is the best. and it's very easy to do it yourself. soak, blend, strain, and there you go... If you add cocoa and raw cane sugar you got brilliant chocolate milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 VeJoe: My pleasure. Try popping a few berries into the blender instead of the raw cane sugar. It tastes orgasmic!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
