It's a super quick and easy protein option for busy mornings. Just grab a carton of unsweetened soy milk and you're good to go.

Yes, soy milk is a great dairy-free source of protein and calcium. Just make sure to consume it in moderation and choose unsweetened brands.

Soy milk is good, but make sure to buy the unsweetened version. Sweetened ones can spike your blood sugar levels, especially if you have gestational diabetes.

Meera Guha · Answer

I drank soy milk occasionally as it's a good dairy alternative. But as always, checking with your nutritionist or doctor is the safest bet.

Yami Anand · Answer

I drank soy milk throughout my pregnancy because dairy gave me bad acidity. It was really gentle on my stomach and easy to digest.

Yes, it is very nutritious and rich in protein. I used to mix it with my morning oats and it kept me full and energetic throughout the day.
