  I'm a big fan of soy. We don't even drink cows milk in our house. Almond milk is even better. Maybe you could alternate between the two to give her a little variety. If she likes one, she will most likely like the other as well.

  I would try a different milk over soy. DS doesn't tolerate dairy so we switched him to almond milk. He really likes it, we just have to make sure to get better nutrition elsewhere because it's not the same as cow's milk.

  There's hemp, almond, rice...but again, they're not the same as cow's milk so you have to modify her diet.

  DD is allergic to cow's milk, almond, and tons of other things so we have to give soy. We use the Silk DHA enriched milk. It is fully fortified and actually has more calcium than 2% milk (not sure about whole). It also has one more gram of fat than the other soy milk varieties and is made from non GMO soybeans. Yes, there are the hormone concerns, but I don't even want to think about the hormones that cows are given and what makes it into cow's milk. When we talked to our pediatrician about this she really helped us weigh the nutritional benefits (as I said, DD's diet is very limited) with the research and we decided that we were fine with soy milk. I think if she is drinking fortified soy milk well, then you should stick with it, or as other people say, alternate! If you have concerns about weight, nutrition, etc, you could always run it by her pedi.
