Tag: Cooking with soy milk

While soy milk has been a dietary staple in some cultures for centuries, its adoption as a common cow's milk substitute in the West is a more recent phenomenon. For the millions of people who are lactose intolerant or follow a vegan diet, the question isn't just a matter of taste, but also practicality and nutrition: can soy milk replace dairy milk effectively?

Soy milk is the most nutritionally similar plant-based milk to cow's milk, but swapping it for whole milk isn't always a direct 1:1 replacement in every recipe. The success of the substitution depends heavily on the recipe's requirements and the specific type of soy milk used.
