10. I'd suggest trying more than one brand to see if there's one you like.

There's only one brand of almond milk I can stand, I like one soy milk to drink and another for cooking, and apparently I'm not so picky on coconut flavored things. I liked the hemp milks that I tried but it turns out I'm allergic to hemp and uh... related products (and I live in Northern California, so that is seriously annoying and occasionally dangerous.)

Fortunately our co-op here does product tastings regularly and has a liberal return policy if I buy something I can't stand. It might be worth asking if there's anything analogous available to you.
