This time of year I LOVE making smoothies. Not just for myself – but also for my Lil Man. It’s the best way I can get some fruit in his belly with no other funny business added. Just throw in some frozen fruit and liquid in a blender – and BAM! A few seconds later, you have a delicious treat you can enjoy on a hot summer day. Today’s post is all about THREE yummy, “must-try” smoothie recipes I recently came up with, using Silk Almondmilk products. If you haven’t discovered the benefits of almond milk – you are missing out! Not only does it tastes great – BUT there are also no artificial ingredients, it has 50% more calcium than regular milk AND it’s a great alternative for those with milk allergies.
Although I normally pick up the regular Silk Almondmilk at my local Safeway – recently I decided to give the Almond Coconut Blend and NEW Almondmilk Protein & Fiber Blend a try. Both can be found in the dairy section, next to the regular milk.
The NEW Silk Almondmilk Protein & Fiber Blend has 18% more DV of fiber than regular Silk Almondmilk. It’s still great tasting and only has 100 calories per serving. As for the Silk Almond Coconut Blend – that has to be my favorite! It’s a delicious blend of almond milk and coconut milk and only has 35 calories per serving. And of course – both of these Silk products are great to put in the THREE smoothie recipes I’m sharing today!

They look good, right? And they are so perfect to cool off with, on the upcoming hot summer days! So be sure to head to your local Safeway and grab a carton {or two} of Silk Almond Coconut Blend and the new Silk Almondmilk Protein & Fiber Blend! Then grab your blender and “blend” away my friends!
