Use plain soy milk as a base for cream soups or sauces, or as a substitute for milk in most
baked goods.
Buying and storing tips
Look for soy milk in cartons, either on the shelves or in the refrigerated section of
natural food stores or grocery stores. Soy milk will keep for seven to ten days; refrigerate
after opening. For an extended shelf life and optimal taste, refrigerate overnight before
opening.
Varieties
Soy milk is available in plain and flavored varieties, and in low-fat, fat-free, and
fortified versions.
