Which is nicer: rice or soya milk? Olive or sunflower spread?

[Toots]

Or are they all a bit bleuuurrgggghhhhhh?

Prefer rice to soya milk but there has been some recent concerns about arsenic levels in rice milk.Prefer Olive to sunflower spread.

Are you giving up dairy?
I can't claim to have any opinion about the spread issue, but Alpro Soya milk is quite palatable, while I don't really like their rice milk.

soya milk is lovely but unless you have to give up butter I'd stick with that over any horribel spread

Oat milk is quite nice.

Butter is the best spread. Failing that, olive. But has to be a high olive content.

Well toots, as i drink organic soy milk (look on the pack for the % of actual soya ,it should be over 7% or it does taste yuch)and my dh drinks rice milk, I can help!

They are both good as are is oat milk etc. You certainly don;'t get the yukky bunged up side effects from them that some people get from cow's milk. I think that soya is better for women though. The japanese women didn't know what PMS and bad menopausal symptoms were before they started on cow's milk.

The problem with the spreads is the high salt content and the palm oil which, you'll see on the labels, is in almost all of them(including the expensive organic ones). i find that palm oil affects me like milk does; phelgm!!

Dh still has butter but i use olive oil or avocadoe oil on my toast and in cooking.

sorry about the typos!!

Thanks everyone. Will experiment based on recs.

It's all personal taste. I drink soy milk, preferrably Tesco or Alpro. Fresh tastes better than long life but we buy longlife as sometimes stores run out so we can stock up on it - also it's cheaper (Whole household is on soy milk or soy formula).
My husband will drink Asda's longlife - which I think is yuck.
My sister (vegan) doesn't like Soy milk and drinks oat so simple. I find that tastes funny.
Rice milk tastes very watery to me.

I like oat milk but always end back up on the dairy, price is a factor
