One of my favorite ways to start or end my day is with a smoothie. Its just a refreshing way to wake up or good way to have something sweet after dinner without all the calories and fat. Recently we started using Silk Almond milk in our smoothies because its thicker than regular milk and adds a great creaminess, but its also lower in calories too!

Some other benefits of Silk® Almondmilk are that it is lactose, dairy, gluten, and soy free (so its perfect for those with allergies). It also has 50% more calcium* than dairy milk. And there are so many varieties and flavors to choose from, Silk® Vanilla Almondmilk, Silk® Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk, Silk® Original Almondmilk, Silk®, Unsweetened Original Almondmilk, Silk® Dark Chocolate Almondmilk, Silk® Light Vanilla Almondmilk or Silk® Light Original Almondmilk.

We usually use original or vanilla in our smoothies, and its also great for baking too – just substitute it out 1 to 1 for regular dairy milk in a recipe.

Now, one of my favorite smoothies is a banana berry smoothie, so here’s a delicious recipe for it using Silk® Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk.
