Whole Foods Soy Milk and Honey Crunch & Oats Cereal

Back in October, Whole Foods launched a new line of refrigerated soy milk (and almond milk, but I somehow grabbed two cartons of soy milk instead of one each; grr and oops).  I was sent a $10 gift card so I could sample the milk; I also picked up a box of cereal (conveniently located directly across the aisle from the soy milk refrigerator) to go with the two cartons.  The total came out to just under $10 – a carton of soy milk is only $2.99, way cheaper than what my neighborhood store charges for Silk! 

A few mornings, I started off with the light soy milk and a bowl of the cereal. 

The cereal was light and airy, crisp. 

I added a little soy milk to the bowl. 

I don’t know why I took so many pictures.

In any case, I found myself really enjoying the cereal itself, and the soy milk was light tasting.  It wasn’t as creamy as whole milk is, which is fine for an early morning meal.  I drank some on its own and found the texture similar to VitaSoy soy milk, but much less sweet, which in my case is a great thing since I don’t like things that are too sweet. 

As for the chocolate milk, there was a ton of chocolate taste in the drink, though it had the slightest edge of chalkiness.  Perhaps only noticeable since I was looking for it (I really detest chalky chocolate milk – try saying that 5 times fast!), because otherwise it’s very faint.  I drank a glass happily until the carton was gone! 

I’m happy that there are two new options for soy milk that are also inexpensive.  My local markets charge in the $5 range for the same size carton of soy milk, which is just outrageous.  Though I am not lactose intolerant, I always appreciate having dairy alternative for when my friends who are visit me, or just as an extra boost of protein.  I’ll definitely look for these again!
