Though almond milk and oat milk have become more popular in recent years, soy milk has been a staple for dairy-free consumers for decades (and even centuries in East Asia). In an effort to cater to those who'd like to stick to this staple, Trader Joe's has crafted a new soy milk with a subtle vanilla flavor. Trader Joe’s new Organic Non-Dairy Unsweetened Vanilla Soy Beverage is made from nothing more than water, organic soybeans, and organic natural flavors, and boasts a mild, creamy taste that makes it a versatile beverage option. Best of all, the new drink is free from gluten, dairy, and lactose, and contains [nine grams of protein per serving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-organic-soymilk).
