Soy milk is a plant drink made by soaking, grinding, and straining soybeans, sold in sweetened, unsweetened, and barista varieties. One metric cup (250 ml) of unsweetened soy milk weighs around 245 grams or 8.64 ounces. When a recipe calls for soy milk in cups but the carton lists millilitres, converting by weight keeps the liquid right for cakes, sauces, and dairy-free custards.

Soy milk cartons hold 1 litre or 250 ml mini-packs, while recipes call for cups, grams, and tablespoons. Converting between the four stops you adding too much or too little to a custard or cream sauce.

Cow's milk carries around 3 to 4% fat compared to soy milk's 2%, so dairy milk is richer and slightly heavier (258 g vs 245 g per cup). Swap 1:1 by volume in pancakes, cocoa, and cake batters for a dairy-free result; soy milk is the closest non-dairy match for custards and cream sauces since its protein curdles like dairy. See our Milk converter.

Almond milk is thinner and lower in protein than soy milk (around 1% to soy milk's 3%). They are equal in weight (245 g vs 245 g per cup) and swap 1:1; soy milk holds together better under heat, while almond milk gives a lighter body in shakes and porridge. See our Almond Milk converter.

Oat milk is sweeter and starchier than soy milk, with around 3% fat to soy milk's 2%. They are equal in weight (245 g vs 245 g per cup) and swap 1:1; oat milk gives a creamier mouthfeel in coffee, while soy milk holds up better in cooked sauces and custards. See our Oat Milk converter.
