Finding Plant-Based Whole30 compliant Soy Milk Brands can be frustrating and time consuming. Many options contain additives that are not Whole30 approved such as carrageenan, sugars, and grains.
We’ve curated a comprehensive list of Plant-Based Whole30 compliant soy milk brands so you don’t have to spend the time researching.
Is soy milk allowed on Whole30?
Soy milk and minimally processed forms of soy are allowed on the Plant-Based Whole30 program only. (Click here for the rundown and rules!). All soy products are NOT compliant with the traditional Whole30 program. (Click here for those rules!).
What are the benefits of soy milk?
Soy milk is an excellent plant-based, non-dairy beverage made by soaking whole soybeans in water and then blending until smooth. The liquid is then strained, and many brands add vitamins and minerals to fortify the nutritional value.
High in Vitamin B, and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, soy milk is also an excellent source of plant-based protein – 1 cup contains 7 grams of protein! Soy contains Isoflavones (anti-oxident compounds) and is a great source of potassium as well.
Should I buy organic soy milk?
Yes, if you have the option to purchase organic soy milk, we recommend doing so. Most soybeans are grown here in the US and a 94% of them are genetically modified (GMO). (source)
What to avoid when purchasing soy milk?
Avoid brands that contain Carrageenan. Carrageenan is a substance extracted from red and purple seaweeds, Chondrus crispus, which is more widely known as Irish moss. It is used as a thickening or emulsifying agent in food products. It is a known inflammatory, and we know that inflammation is the building block of disease. It has been linked to ulcerations, and GI cancers, and other stomach problems.
Read all the ingredients listed on the labels and avoid soy milk that contains added sugars and grains as well.
