Light soy milk is a plant-based beverage made from soybeans, known for being a nutritious and low-calorie alternative to cow's milk. It is characterized by its thinner consistency and reduced fat and sugar content compared to traditional soy milk, making it ideal for those seeking lighter options in their recipes or diets.

The origin of soy milk dates back to Asia, particularly China and Japan, where it has been consumed for centuries as a fundamental part of the diet. Currently, its production has become globalized, and it is common to find it in many Latin American countries and around the world.

Among its properties, it stands out for its contribution of high-quality plant proteins, low content of saturated fats, and absence of lactose, which makes it an excellent option for people with lactose intolerance or vegan and vegetarian diets. Additionally, it is often fortified with calcium and vitamins, contributing to bone and overall nutritional health.

In the culinary field, light soy milk is used in a variety of recipes that require a smooth and light liquid base, such as smoothies, desserts, sauces, and healthy preparations.
