Product Review: Silk

I like Silk's new ad campaign. I think it's good for Veganism (giving cows human-like characteristics) and I think it will appeal to middle school / junior high school kids and maybe even their parents.

I'm a big fan of Silk. I like the flavor of their soymilk. I felt like Silk was my savior - as a new vegan I only drank Vanilla Edensoy and throught I'd have to live the rest of my life without creamy drinks, smoothies, milkshakes, or cereal (lets face it, Edensoy isn't that great by itself). I've had other brands since then (SunSoy Chocolate is pretty good but too hard to find) but Silk remains my favorite.

I buy the Single Serve Very Vanilla and Chocolate and keep them in my desk at work for a light snack or to put on cereal/oatmeal. They're the perfect size and are good cold or room temperature. (Speaking of single-serve, I wish they would reintroduce the strawberry single serve!!)

Silk Smoothies are a guilty pleasure. They're a little pricey for every day consumption (about $1.73 at Wegmans) but are so yummy. They're basically a yogurt and fruit smoothie. They are rich, creamy, sweet, and fruity with a little tang to let you know it's yogurt. I often will buy one and drink it as I'm grocery shopping at Wegman's or if I can contain myself I'll wait and drink it in the car on the way home.

I also like the creamer. I saw the quart-sized creamer once at Whole Foods in NYC but have never seen it around here. I bring the pint sized containers with me when it's my turn to do "breakfast" at work and have not yet had a single complaint; most people say how good it is and many have told me they've switched from their usual creamer to Silk after trying it! I also use it in baking recipes. It's $1.89 at Wegmans (where they have many flavors) but only $1.00 at Giant (where they only have either Plain or Vanilla depending on the shipment).

Talking about Silk gets me excited for the Holidays when Silk Nog will be available. I've been known to buy cases of it and stock my fridge so it's available to me well into February. Yumm!
