Silk Heart Health SoyMilk: Review and Giveaway

by

hypothesis Because my husband and I are both on weight loss programs, we are looking for ways to cut our calories.  Silk Soymilk is a great way to lower our calorie intake while providing heart health advantages.

One half gallon of Silk Soymilk, a recipe for frozen fudge chip freeze and a very skeptical family.   About Silk Heart Health soymilk:

silk

“Silk Heart Health is a new soymilk product that combines the heart-health benefits of soy protein and plant sterols. Both have been proven to help reduce the risk of cholesterol and heart disease.
A recent study found that people who enjoyed three servings of Silk Heart Health per day for four weeks, as part of a sensible diet, lowered their cholesterol by 7%.”

results While the health benefits of Silk Heart Health are wonderful, my husband nor I have high cholesterol.  Since this was our first experience with soymilk, I decided to find a tasty recipe that included the vanilla soymilk and try to win over my family.  I ran across a great recipe in my Hungry Girl 200 under 200 cookbook, and decided to give it a go!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup light vanilla soymilk (we used Silk!)

One 25 calorie diet hot cocoa packet

1 tablespoon sugar-free chocolate syrup

1 tablespoon mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 packs of no-calorie sweetener

1 cup of crushed ice

2 tablespoons of Fat-Free Reddi-wip

Mix the cocoa with 1/2 cup warm water until dissolved.  Add to blender with all other ingredients except Reddi-wip. Blend for 30 seconds on high speed.  Pour into tall glass and top with Reddi-wip and a few chocolate chips.

Let me tell you, for a chocolate milk-shake type beverage for only 138 calories, I was in heaven!  It was very rich and chocolaty and NONE of my family (who would have turned their noses up at soymilk) noticed that their regular whole milk (which ads a TON of calories to this recipe if substituted) had been swapped for Silk Light Vanilla soymilk!  In fact, my husband was so shocked that he decided to try a glass of soymilk on it’s own with dinner and enjoyed it.

  12. I currently buy Silk SoyMilk and absolutely love the Very Vanilla! It’s great in coffee and whips up great with a stick blender to make a milkshake. Of course, the chocolate is fantastic also. Thanks.

  25. I enjoyed the website but it didn’t give the nutritional information. I would choose the one that not only suits my taste but is lowest in calories and fat and carbs, which I couldn’t compare from the website but will do in the grocery store. It sounds like a great way to go and am anxious to find that coupon. Thanks

  31. That recipe looks awesome and I am going to try it. Thanks. I love Chocolate Silk and the Creamers would be something I would love to try.

  37. We drink Silk exclusively in our house (the regular and Light), but I’d like to try the Unsweetened too.

  59. We buy A LOT of Silk every week because our toddler is allergic to dairy and has been drinking soy milk every day ever since I weaned her at 15 months.
    I would pick the Silk Organic Vanilla, her favorite.

  66. Mmmm, I love the Chocolate and the Very Vanilla best! Those are the sweetest and creamiest of the Silks even though they are all good! I would probably buy the Very Vanilla unless my daughter was with me, she loves the chocolate.

  129. I absolutely adore the Very Vanilla Silk Soy so I will most likely purchase that. My brother said the chocolate is also very good. Depending on my taste buds on that day, I may switch to chocolate.

  132. The very vanilla soy milk is always in my tea cup……….it adds up little sweetness to the tea and also has a rich taste….I love it!

  142. My son is allergic to milk and he loves the Very Vanilla flavor. It tastes like a shake! I have been using Silk also because milk has started to upset my stomach. Thanks!

  146. Vanilla Silk has always been a staple around here. My mother’s lactose intolerant so we used to eat it with cereal and it stuck! Thanks for the giveaway!
