I love trying out new foods. I find that a lot of times I go shopping and I buy the same foods time and time again. So when I have opportunities to try out new things like this Silk Cashewmilk review, I jump at it. I was sent two cartons of Silk Cashewmilk. I was sent Original Silk Cashewmilk and also Unsweetened Silk Cashewmilk.
When my son was younger, he had really bad reflux. And because of this, he was taken off of dairy for a few months. Instead of cow milk, we gave him Silk Almondmilk and he loved it. I was curious if he would like Silk Cashewmilk too and sure enough – he loved it. Silk Cashewmilk is free of lactose, dairy, cholesterol, gluten, soy, casein, peanuts, egg and MSG AND it has no high fructose corn syrup!
Silk Cashewmilk has a creamy taste. Along with the creaminess, Silk Cashewmilk has 50% more calcium than dairy milk and only 60 calories per serving. This is 25% less calories than skim milk! Silk Original Cashewmilk: 60 cal/serv; skim dairy milk: 80 cal/serv. USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 26. Data consistent with typical skim dairy milk.
Silk Cashewmilk is also an excellent source of Vitamin D. The Unsweetened Silk Cashewmilk has only 25 calories per serving which is 1/3 of the calories of skim milk! Silk Unsweetened Cashewmilk: 25 cal/serv; skim dairy milk 80 cal/serv. USDA National Nutrient Database
for Standard Reference, Release 26. Data consistent with typical skim dairy milk.
I don’t drink a lot of milk, but I do use it every day in cereals, smoothies and sometimes even my coffee. I poured Unsweetened Silk Cashewmilk over cereal and it was awesome. Perfectly smooth and creamy with a very faint hint of sweetness from the cashews. And in my coffee, I substituted Silk Cashewmilk (sweetened) for my Half & Half. Because the Cashewmilk was sweetened, I was able to use less sugar than I normally would. The cashewmilk was a very similar consistency to the cream that I was used to – I just had to add a bit more cashewmilk than the amount of cream that I usually used.
