Hey Friends!! Monday slipped away from me. We were traveling back from CrossFit Mayhem after a weekend doing our CrossFit Level 1 Certificate Course and I was still on a high from the whole weekend. I’ll write up a whole recap this week, once I have time to process it all!
Today I want to talk to you about Silk! I have been using Almond milk for awhile now. I don’t even really remember where I heard about it, probably another blog. ha. The first thing that really attracted me to almond milk was that an 8 ounce serving of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk has just 30 Calories! When making lattes, cereal, oatmeal, or protein shake all the extra calories in regular milk can add up. 30 calories of Silk Almond milk still gives you that creamy texture without all the extra calories.
A few other benefits from the Silk Website:
• 30 calories per serving
• Absolutely no added sugar
• 50% more calcium than dairy milk2
• Excellent source of vitamin E
• Absolutely no cholesterol or saturated fat
• Free of dairy, soy, lactose, gluten, casein, egg and MSG
• Verified by the Non-GMO Project’s product verification program
• No artificial colors, flavors or funny business
I’ve used almond milk in my chai lattes, banana soft serve, smoothies, and (my favorite!) in my protein shakes.
I love it in my post WOD protein shakes because it is creamier than water but without the extra 120 calories of milk.
There is so much you can do with Silk PureAlmond. The only limit is your imagination!
