soymilk

Legume-based dairy substitute

Soymilk is a plant-based liquid made by soaking, grinding, and straining soybeans.

It serves as a dairy milk substitute for those who are lactose intolerant, vegan, or simply prefer it: I take my coffee with soymilk.

Often fortified with calcium and vitamins to match cow's milk nutritionally.

Also spelled soy milk.
