Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / April 2007soy milk question
Has anyone tried to make pudding or other dishes that call for milk using soy milk. I notice the 8th Continent light soy has only 60 cal. per cup, so it is lower calories than even skim milk, and presumably good for you. I tried some other brand once on cereal and it was awful, and then used the chocolate Silk brand which tastes good, but is kind of high calories. If I mixed the light soy with instant pudding mix, would it gel and be tasty? dkw > Has anyone tried to make pudding or other dishes that call for milk > using soy milk.

I've added a Tbsp of pudding mix to soy milk in a smoothie for flavor and that's about all you can get with the combo.

I have made pudding with soy milk - Jello brand sugar free chocolate. It was the kind you have to cook, not instant. The box even said not to use soy milk but I tried it anyway and it DID work. I don't remember what brand of soy milk I used but whatever it was, it was the lowest calorie version I could find. I used to buy Silk all the time but now I usually get 8th Continent. Even though I like soy milk I did not care for the flavor of the pudding using it. Not sure if it was the cooking that did it, but the taste wasn't very appealing.

The Silk website says to add cornstarch -- but adding 1/4 cup cornstarch would be about 120 calories so would more than offset the 20 fewer calories the 8th Continent has than nonfat cow's milk. http://www.silksoymilk.com/AppetiteAppeal/CookingTips.aspx Signaturejmk in NC |
