Review: Soy Dream Shelf-Stable Organic Original Flavor Soy Milk

From time to time I find myself getting a food item from the company Soy Dream. More commonly I get a food item from Rice Dream, a sister company. I have had happy experiences with both companies but in the past I have found myself leaning toward rice milk than soy milk. This changed when my son started drinking milk because I wanted to get him soy milk, which I knew had more protein. For myself I had been getting Rice Dream Shelf-Stable Rice Drink and for my son found Soy Dream Shelf-Stable Soy Milk.

The Soy Dream Shelf-Stable Soy Milk was organic and an original flavor. The size of container that I purchased contained about four cups of soy milk, or 4 servings. When I made a bowl of cereal for my son I did not use an entire cup so I thought that this small amount would be nice to have for the week. I did not want to get a larger container because it stayed fresh for no more than 10 days. Being shelf-stable I had the option of buying a couple small ones at one time and did not have to worry about it expiring quickly. Not knowing how my son would like it though I decided to just get one; even though my son had tried soy milk before different brands bring different tastes to the table.

The taste with the Soy Dream Shelf-Stable Organic Original Flavor Soy Milk was actually really good. I find that when I get a shelf-stable soy drink or rice drink that there is a difference when compared to buying such drinks from the refrigerated section. However what difference there is from pre-refrigerated soy milks was mild. Overall I was happy with the taste and my son did not seem to take notice of the new brand. I took note of this because I discovered that on Amazon.com I could find this soy milk in this size of container for as little as $1.06. Before deciding if I wanted to commit to such an online purchase I checked out what the ingredients of this soy milk.
The ingredients of Soy Dream Shelf-Stable Organic Original Flavor Soy Milk are filtered water, organic whole soybeans, organic evaporated cane juice, calcium carbonate, sea salt, carrageenan, vitamin E, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin B12, vitamin D2. This could not be more standard for many of the soy milks that I have seen and sampled. This is in no way a put down on the product, I was actually quite pleased with the ingredients. I was equally pleased with the nutrition facts that the soy milk had as well.

There were 100 calories with 35 calories from fat in a cup of the soy milk. Likewise this amount contained 135 milligrams of sodium, 250 milligrams of potassium, 8 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of protein. The nutrition facts listed 10% for vitamin A, thiamin, vitamin B6, folic acid, and iron, 15% for phosphorus, magnesium, and copper, 25% for vitamins D and D, and it listed 50% for vitamin B12 for a cup of soy milk as well. I definitely have decided to get Soy Dream Shelf-Stable Organic Original Flavor Soy Milk again. I never bought it in bulk only because I was unsure how well it would hold up being shipped. I cannot comment on purchasing it in bulk but I can say that I would recommend for anyone to try it. I believe I have one tucked away in the cupboard currently in case I run out of soy milk unexpectedly.
