The joy of soy


Special to Slashfood from AOL Health's Mary Kearl

Like many, I may claim to be adventurous about food, drinks, condiments and above all desserts, but when it comes down to it, things like flavored mayo (and mayo in general) and multi-flavored soy milk are a bit off-putting.

So this past week, when I not only tried chocolate peppermint soy milk from Vita Soy and loved it and converted three non-soy-milk drinkers into wanting to find it and buy it too, I also broke down and tried mayo on a sandwich. No, it was not a horror. It was dijon-style nayonaise, and I liked it so much, I started mixing it into baked potatoes and was even inspired to create Potato-Less "Mashed Potatoes." Yes, that's right, all you dairy-intolerant and veggie folks out there, check out this 'Tofu Tatoes recipe that is entirely dairy-free, a similar consistency to mashed potatoes and it much easier than peeling potatoes and waiting for them to boil while your tummy growls.

So here's to trying new things and sharing the soy joy with others.

Non-dairy holiday drinks from Vitasoy

Jonathan mentioned that Oregon Chai has a soy Chai Nog on sale for the holidays for anyone who avoids dairy or is just a fan of chai in general. If you fall into the former category and prefer soy milks to dairy, there is another nog option available: Vitasoy's Holly Nog. Spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, the creamy holiday drink is a good stand-in for traditional eggnog. As an added bonus, it has only 120 calories per serving, a fraction of the dairy-based recipe.

If eggnog - or soy nog - isn't you're cup of tea, Vitasoy also has a new Peppermint Chocolate Soy drink out this year, which it touts as being delicious hot or cold, and an excellent choice for chocolate fans. It is low in fat and makes a great, seasonal creamer for coffee. Both drinks are dairy, lactose, cholesterol and gluten-free and both are USDA certified organic.
