Some Silk & Smoothie Tips

I've only recently gotten in to the smoothie game but I've already found a few tips I want to share with y'all. Silk products come in a variety of flavours and blends perfect for smoothieing including Almond, Cashew, and Coconut. Each blend brings a unique flavour to your smoothie and works to enhance the ingredients they are paired with.

Here's a few tips I've discovered so far

• Always buy the unsweetened milks. Generally, you will be blending them with a variety of fruits both fresh and frozen that can be high in natural sugars. Sweetened milks will make things even sugarier. If you want a little sweetness, try a dash of honey or maple syrup.
• Pairing the milks properly will ensure your smoothie tastes its best! Almond milk is the most neutral flavoured of the bunch. It is the perfect milk for almost all blending because it doesn't add a lot of flavour and allows the fruit to be the star of the smoothie. Cashew milk is a tad more flavourful and rich. This milk goes best with creamy smoothie ideas including peanut butters, chocolates, and bananas. Coconut milk is a strong, tropical flavour and tastes best paired with fruits like mangos, pineapples, and peaches.
• There is also a Coconut / Almond blend which combines the best of both milks. It makes the coconutty flavour a bit milder and able to blend well with almost every fruit. Keep an eye out for this one!

At the end of the day, play around with milks when blending to find which milk works best for the job. Just remember to ALWAYS buy unsweetened to avoid a sugary disaster!
