Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 the information reported at the USDA site indicates that soy milk is almost entirely protein which is not what the contents of the two commercial soy milk varieties I've tried report. nevertheless if you can find it, it would be a great source of protein. my suggestion is to read the label for the product next time you are in the store.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi, I made soy milk following the video directions from the following youtube videos. I boiled the milk once for about 15 minutes, let it cooled and then bottled. My one issue is that I drank it while it was still warm and it upset my stomach terribly. Does anybody know if it's because I didn't let it boil for longer or am I allergic to soy, any help will be appreciated! Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
