Trader Joe’s Soy Creamer (DISCONTINUED)

Alicia de los Reyes, A Nice Cuppa – While visiting some friends and drinking their coffee I discovered a lovely coffee mix-in: Trader Joe’s Soy Milk Creamer.  Usually I stay away from soy in my coffee unless I’ve been watching PETA videos, but I decided to try it.  Guess what?  Deliciousness.  Not soy-like at all.  It was quite sweet, though, and that’s what inspired me to try it in my other favorite morning beverage, English Breakfast tea.  Shazam!  I was a convert.  It reminded me of the kind of tea made with boiling leaves and milk and water in a big pot with about sixteen cups of sugar.  The tea was strong enough to hold up to the sweetness; herbal and more delicate black teas would taste like flavored milk with this stuff stirred in.  Chai would be excellent.

So, next time you’re entertaining vegan guests, consider pouring a bit of the soy stuff in your own cuppa.  You will be pleasantly surprised.
