In the kitchen.
- 1Use as a 1:1 substitute for dairy milk in smoothies, oatmeal, cereal, and sweet baking recipes like muffins and pancakes.

- 4Can be frothed for lattes, though results may vary by brand; look for 'barista blend' versions for best frothing performance.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Is vanilla soymilk healthy?
Yes, vanilla soymilk is a nutritious beverage that provides a complete plant-based protein containing all nine essential amino acids. It is typically low in saturated fat and often fortified with essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, which support bone health.
How much protein is in vanilla soymilk?
Vanilla soymilk contains approximately 2.47g of protein per 100g. This makes it one of the best plant-based alternatives for those looking to maintain protein intake without consuming dairy.
Is vanilla soymilk vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, vanilla soymilk is 100% vegan as it is derived entirely from plants. Most brands are also naturally gluten-free, though you should always check the label for specific thickeners or additives that might contain gluten.
Can I use vanilla soymilk in coffee and baking?
Absolutely. Vanilla soymilk is excellent for baking cakes and muffins as it adds a subtle sweetness and aroma. In coffee, it froths better than many other plant milks due to its higher protein content, though the vanilla flavor will be noticeable.
Is vanilla soymilk keto-friendly?
With about 4.12g of carbohydrates per 100g, vanilla soymilk can fit into some low-carb diets in moderation. However, because vanilla versions usually contain added sugars, those on a strict keto diet may prefer unsweetened soymilk.
What are the heart health benefits of vanilla soymilk?
Vanilla soymilk contains isoflavones, which are compounds that may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. Additionally, it is lower in saturated fat than whole dairy milk, making it a heart-healthy choice for cardiovascular maintenance.
How long does vanilla soymilk last after opening?
Once opened, vanilla soymilk should be kept refrigerated and is typically best consumed within 7 to 10 days. Always check for signs of spoilage, such as a sour smell, thickening texture, or discoloration.
Can I freeze vanilla soymilk?
You can freeze it, but the texture will likely separate and become grainy upon thawing. It is not recommended for drinking straight after freezing, but it works perfectly fine when added to smoothies or used in cooked recipes.
Is vanilla soymilk suitable for people with lactose intolerance?
Yes, vanilla soymilk is naturally lactose-free and dairy-free. It is an excellent alternative for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies who still want a creamy beverage with a similar nutritional profile to cow's milk.
What does vanilla soymilk taste like?
It has a creamy, smooth consistency with a mild nutty base flavor. The vanilla variety is significantly sweeter and more aromatic than plain soymilk, which helps mask the 'beany' aftertaste some people associate with soy.
