Hello Cuppy Cakes!
Thanks to Crowdtap I am able to review Silk Almondmilk in the flavor vanilla for free for review. So lets get started!
I often pass by Silk when I am grocery shopping having no particular interest up until now. It is not the first time trying almond milk, but the last time was approximately ages ago and vaguely remember liking it.
I decided on the flavor vanilla because it's one of my top flavors and I had high hopes it would be a good pairing with an almond taste. I will say it's not what I remember or expected this almondmilk to taste like. To be honest I was kind of turned off with the flavor and smell. The smell of the milk is intense and the taste is very sweet and almost too nutty. I love almonds, but this packs a punch of almond flavor into your taste buds.
However, I decided since I have a whole half gallon that I don't want to go to waste I would try it in different ways. First I made chocolate milk with a powdered chocolate mixture and it was okay, but definitely not to my liking. My boyfriend on the other hand didn't mind the milk on it's own or in chocolate milk.
Next I tried it in my coffee as a creamer and found that this was the best use for me. It gives my coffee a little extra nutty flavor that is exactly what I love about creamers.
I also made cereal and just tried it in Cocoa Pebbles (one of my favs) and that was a no-go.
I lastly have made it into smoothies and found that this was a great way to add almond flavor and healthy substitute to milk. I will say after about week and half of drinking/eating this I am getting used to the taste and it doesn't seem so foreign.
I do find that there are so much added bonus to drinking this rather than normal cow milk because there is no cholesterol, saturated fat, artificial colors or flavors added making it a healthier option. I am still curious if the Original flavor tastes any better so I might be stopping by my local grocery store to try it out.
Overall my opinion changed from yuck to yum over the course of trying it out and getting used to the taste. It's not my initial expectation of the product, but I am willing to try out other products to find the right fit or in this case the right taste.
