I have some NonFat Vanilla SoyMilk in the house. I read the ingredients - No mention of High Fructose Syrup - But there is Dehydrated Cane Juice. Any ideas as to whether this is this acceptable on Phase1 ???

Thanks!

If it is acceptable, it is DELICIOUS in the Chocolate Milkshake recipe

I'm pretty sure cane juice is sugar so I would guess it's not acceptable in Phase 1. Sorry.

The fat in soymilk is a good fat so I don't go for the low fat versions. Depending on the brand there are somewhere between 4-5 g of fat and very little sat fat. But you should look for a "lite" version because it probably won't have sugar added. The taste of plainsoymilk is awful, IMO, so that's why so many have sugar added. I use Soy Slender which is sweetened with splenda. There's vanilla, chocolate, and capaccino. They're not to "flavored" tasting so are good with cereal, shakes, etc. They're good plain too.

I love soy milk and it's SO good for you Unfortunately, most of the soy milk sold in the supermarket is FULL of cane sugar I drink WestSoy Organic Unsweetend Soymilk.

Here are the particulars:

Ingredients: filtered water, whole organic soybeans. Thats it!

And it's yummy! I used to get it at the Health Food Store but my local supermarket now carries it in the section with coffee & tea. I bet if you request it, they will get it for you. I find that it holds me longer than regular milk because of the high protein content.

Well, regular skim milk has 8 grams of protein but soy is good for you in other ways.
Dehydrated cane juice is nearly the same as sugar - just not as refined - so is definitely to be avoided.

You want the unsweetened version, Penny. Just add SF syrups or Splenda/Equal/etc. to your recipe to sweeten it. It can be hard, sometimes, to find the unsweetened stuff, but keep looking...
