I prefer westsoy soy milk... Silk is slimey and weird. Rice milk is 10x better than soy milk though... no shit.
I had remembered Liquid Aminos being mentioned here at some point and the bottle caught my eye at the store last night, so I picked some up. Awesome stuff. Better flavor than Kikkoman soy sauce and a bit less salt, plus the spray bottle makes it easier to apply the right amount and not just be dumping salt everywhere. A roommate also recommended switching to rice milk instead of the soy I was using before, and I think it tastes a hell of a lot better. Vanilla Silk always had a weird clay-like aftertaste and the lumpy stuff in the bottom of the carton is gross.

I'm liking Rice Dream right now but I haven't tried any other brands yet. I've heard almond milk is pretty good in terms of nutrition and flavor, but I haven't checked that out yet either. I saw hemp milk at Whole Foods also but that sounds like some hippie bullshit. Considering all I use it for is cereal, I'm not hellbent on getting something perfect, but I'd be curious to hear from anyone who's tried other stuff.
I'm kinda surprised how easy it was to cut butter out of my diet altogether, in terms of food I make at home at least. I tried some non-dairy spreads but margarine is garbage. Jams and jellies have a shitload of sugar, and I'm not really that crazy about peanut butter either. I'm pretty much set with wheat toast and Marmite.
PEANUT BUTTER IS AMAZING WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!
Fuji apples with chunky or low-sugar Simply Jiff peanut butter is amazing. I am approaching burning out on it, so I've switched to also snacking on baby carrots or oranges, but I keep apples in rotation. And I love a slice of wheat bread with chunky peanut butter as a snack.
Goddammit now I want a pb&j. If I buy anything it'll be super chunk Skippy or Jif.
I'm not a super healthy awesome place to shop person. I'm in college, on a shitty budget, and Jiff is cheaper than the all home made organic shit that's $6 a jar here. I would love to eat better but I can't make long drives out to farmer's markets and better stores. If it's not at Meijer at a comparable price, it isn't much an option.
You used to treat your body a hell of a lot worse than I ever will with consumer peanut butter. I'll be fine for a few years I think.
