Healthy Soy Milk Recipes

Since I was a little girl, I am really fond of eating taho. Tahô is a soybean-based snack food popular in the Philippines. It is made of fresh soft tofu topped with arnibal or brown sugar and vanilla syrup, and sago or pearl tapioca. It is really a delicious and healthy drink that I enjoy.

Recently, when we were grocery shopping, I saw this Edensoy milk with Carob. Since I like taho which is also soybean-based, I was intrigued to try and see how it would taste. I bought a liter of the carob flavored soy milk, chilled it and drank a glass. I have tasted plain soy milk before and it did not appeal to my taste. But this time, probably because it was flavored, I like how it tasted. It has a delicate flavor and not beany.

Since I plan to drink this soy milk regularly, I thought it would be more economical if I just make my own soy milk at home.
