Experience with Soy Milk?

Thought I would ask around...

Does anyone have experience with soy milk as a base for protein shakes?  Any suggestions as to brand/flavors?  Any associated gas (couldn't imagine there would be, but....)? 

Thanks,

Andrew

I like 8th Continent Light Chocolate.  Unfortunately, my Shaw's doesn't carry it any more.  Didn't really notice any associated gas.

Adding soy can cause gas - it adds more fiber to your diet.  I personally LOVE soy milk!1 I buy the kind that comes in the septic carton.  You can get it at Stop and Shop or Shaws sometime maybe Daves Markets.  I know that SUper Walmart in Coventry sells it too.  It is Soy Slender.  Sugar free! It comes in Coffee, vanilla, and chocolate. I have only seen coffee at one place and I want to say it is stop and shop...

I also use unsweetened plain soy milk, silk brand, or Lite Vanilla silk.

I like to mix half soy with half regular milk.  I think it gives the best taste.  I do that when I make a shake or drink it plain.

Thanks for the feedback...I picked up a carton of silk vanilla at S&S today.  Mixed up a protein shake and so far, no problems with additional gas...  (keeping fingers crossed).

Thanks again!

 I really like the Silk Lite Soy Milk and frequently switch between Soy and Fat Free Milk and have not noticed a difference in gas with the Soy.  I have used it in all flavors of GNC 100% Whey protein shakes and it works great. I find the protein shakes stick with me longer if made with Soy.  
Good luck
