Soy milk for me plays a supporting role at breakfast–in the background–quietly making my bowl of cereal delicious and healthy while letting the taste and texture of the cereal and fruit shine through.
After switching to soy milk a couple years ago, many varieties–lowfat vanilla was a recurring theme–have made it into my cereal bowl. All have been lowfat but certainly not low sugar. On average most soy milks have between 7 & 12 grams of sugar/cup. That’s pretty significant especially considering that most cereals even healthy ones have way too much sugar also.
My morning sugar intake was too big and had to be cut back.
So this week I'm trying out Trader Joe's Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk and for cereal it's perfect–I barely even noticed anything had changed.
Instead of 10 grams of sugar/cup I'm now doing just 2 grams–a huge difference. If you drink soy milk naked or in coffee perhaps you'll miss that extra sugar jolt, but for cereal–the topic of an upcoming post–it's just right.
