How Much Soy Milk Can You Drink in a Day?
Dietitians’ Recommended Intake and the Key to “Great Taste Without Bloating”

For generally healthy adults, the recommended daily intake of soy milk is 1–2 cups (250–500 ml). Soy milk is a high-quality source of plant-based protein, but excessive consumption may increase metabolic and renal burden. In addition to quantity, proper heat treatment and processing quality play a decisive role in digestibility and flavor.

Recommended Daily Intake

According to Taiwan’s Health Promotion Administration, adults should consume 3–8 protein servings per day.

·         1 cup (250 ml) of unsweetened soy milk ≈ 1 protein serving (7 g).

·         Considering overall dietary balance, nutrition experts recommend 1–2 cups per day (250–500 ml).

·         TVBS Health reports that drinking soy milk as a water substitute may increase kidney burden; moderation is essential. 

Why Processing Matters

Digestibility depends not only on how much soy milk you drink, but on how it is produced. Insufficiently cooked soy milk may retain raw bean flavors and cause bloating. From soybean cleaning and grinding to heating and full cooking, every step affects protein retention and taste.

Professional manufacturers rely on Ta Ti Hsing’s automated soybean food processing equipment, which uses precise temperature control and standardized processes to ensure full cooking, reduce raw flavors, and deliver consistent quality.
