Tracking calories for weight loss, I realized that milk is “heavy”, and I poured a lot of it into my coffee. Now I can think of better use for these calories (in solid form) in my <2000kcal deficit plan.

Soy milk has about half the calories as cow milk (and is friendlier for climate), perhaps that can save your coffee.
absolutely, but sadly it’s much more expensive, at least here in Germany.
@SnorriSturluson @rstein And that’s what I don’t really understand. How can skipping the middleman (or middlecow in this case) make a product more *expensive*??
EU subsidies and competitive pricing stuff happening for cow milk (it’s one of these products supermarkets consider essential and thus they aim to compete with Aldi prices). Also for soy products since they are considered “lifestyle” products producers and stores assume they can make more profit from those.
And here in Germany we have a VAT (MwSt) of 19% on plant milks and 7% on cow milk. Because cow milk is „essential“.
totally nuts, I agree
Discounters like Aldi or Lidl are selling soy and oat milk for prices only a little higher than cow milk.
The taste of soymilk is far superior too, imo.
Just an acquired taste. I missed the taste of milk for half a year. Now 5 years later I prefer my brand of soy or a barista oat milk.
If it works for your tastebuds it is a nice option I guess, I rather drink coffee “black” or non coffee though as I could not get used to the taste or rather it just does not generate that satisfactory feeling for me…
