You Want Me to Drink What, Exactly?

I have loved a cold glass of chocolate milk ever since I was a little girl. One of the few things that truly dismayed me about my developing lactose intolerance was the idea of giving that up.
I’ve been a picky eater about as long as I’ve loved chocolate milk. When my husband suggested I try soymilk, I thought he was out of his mind. But going without for long enough found me standing at a coffee shop on Fort Campbell, buying a single-serving carton of Silk chocolate soymilk and thinking that the worst that could happen was that I would be out my $1.50.
It wasn’t bad!
The Silk website has a section called “Cooking with Soy” that has some really delicious looking dessert recipes (I particularly want to try the chocolate pudding, as pudding is one of those things that is tricky for me). The 8th Continent site, at the time of this writing, has a $1.00 off coupon for anyone who might be, like I was, reluctant to try it.

While I balk at drinking real milk or even chocolate milk, I LOVE soy milk. The first cup of any flavour is not always pleasant, but it gets better, to the point that I crave specific brands – particularly Silk.
I’ve never tried chocolate soy milk before but that picture makes it look mighty tasty! I think I’m going to end up giving it a shot soon
