Vegans-- What do you put in your coffee??

Question

Is Silk soy creamer good? What kind of sugar (if any) do you put in it? I'd really like to try it so please and thank you if you answer =)

To Phillip B :
I don't drink caffeine drinks at all like soda etc
I just sometimes need a lift every now and then and I wasn't sure what to put in my coffee. I'll check out that detox thing , thanks.

Answer 1

I like my coffee black generally, but sometimes I do make some with soy milk. I like the idea of using chocolate soy milk though, thanks for the tip, I'll try it out!


Go vegan!

Answer 2

I use Silk Soy milk, and recommend just about any flavor except perhaps unsweetened. Vanilla and Chocolate are both nice, but so are Plain and Plus with Omega 3/DHA.

I don't like the creamer, actually. I've only purchased it a few times, but it's had little chunks in it every time, and I'm not a fan of that. I've never experienced that with Silk's regular soy milk.

I don't sweeten my coffee, but if I did, I might try agave nectar. It comes as a liquid, and if you buy the light flavor (as opposed to the dark) it has almost no flavor other than just sweet.

Answer 3

You're vegan and drink coffee?! All 1200 identifiable compounds!

Alright, I drink the occasional cup too - black with brown sugar, but mostly I drink water and green tea. In my early days of veganism (about four years ago) I rapidly found that nothing tasted quite like cows' milk in either tea or coffee so got used to drinking them black. It's a bit like giving up bacon - the fakes on the market just don't cut it and you're only fooling yourself.

PS. How much caffeine are you consuming? Consider a detox diet - if you get serious withdrawal symptoms then perhaps you need to cut-down. The link below lists the do's and don't's similar to the two-week plan I recently followed from a natural health clinic.

Answer 4

I don't really like to use the soy creamers. I think that a spoonful of honey or agave nectar, and soy milk is fantastic with my morning coffee though. I usually find that rice millk is too thin and just waters down my coffee (ick).

Going out to get a soy latte with honey is a real treat too, since I don't have a foamer at home, plus even if I had one I'd be to lazy to use it and clean it all the time.

Answer 5

Chocolate Soy Milk

Answer 6

I'm not vegan but I prefer just regular soy or rice milk to the soy creamer.

Answer 7

I don't so coffee, but in my teas. Chai is use Rice milk & honey, In my Green Tea Stevia, in Orange Peko (Lipton) I use stevia if it's cold, Rice mIlk & stevia if it's hot.

Silk Soy Cream is decent. When I could used soy I just used the Silk Soy Milk itself. All these things are accounting to your own taste buds. Try it, it's the best way to see if you like it.

Slainté (to your health)

Answer 8

I make coffee and put Silk Chocolate Soy Milk in it. No extra sugar. Its like a cafe' mocha...YUM!!

Answer 9

I get quite experimental when it comes to coffee sometimes.

I use soy creamer, coconut milk, plain soy milk, soy ice cream, pumpkin pie mix, vanilla/almond/hazelnut extract.

To sweeten it I use stevia, agave, maple syrup, molasses, brown rice syrup, date sugar, sucanat.

Nice answer blackbyrus.

Answer 10

Vegan or no longer, i actually think of espresso style superb at present day up black. Vegans does not placed dairy creamer of their espresso, yet possibly make espresso creamers out of nuts or soy milk.
