We LOVE smoothies in our house. Breakfast smoothies, snack smoothies, and smoothie frozen in popsicle molds… all favorites! Personally I don’t like milk with fruit, it’s just a strange combo for me, so I LOVE making our favorite smoothie recipes with Silk.
Today I’m going to be sharing two amazing recipes that are not only delicious, but are great non-dairy options for your family. You can find out more about Almond and Cashew at NurturingandNutritious.com #SwapMilk4Silk
Let’s get started with the Cashew Cocoa Smoothie.
Cashew Cocoa Smoothie Almond Berry Smoothie

- 1/2 C. Silk Original Cashew Milk
- 1 tsp. dark chocolate coco powder
- 1 TBS peanut butter
- 1/4 C. chopped fresh spinach
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 C. Silk Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 TBS chia seeds
- 1 tsp raw honey
- 1/4 c.steamed beets
- 1/4 c. frozen strawberries
- 1 frozen bananas
- 1/4 c. frozen blueberries
Instructions
- put all ingredients in blender. Mix until all blended. Pour into 2 glasses. Enjoy
- blend all ingredients until no large lumps. Pour into two glasses and enjoy!
The chia make this smoothie thick and delicious!
Some great things about Almond milk: it is delicious, non-dairy and has more calcium that regular milk. With 7 flavor options all under 100 calories this is the perfect add in to any smoothie. No cholesterol or saturated fat and not a nutty flavor.
You can buy all these fabulous non-dairy Silk products at Walmart.
I love that Silk comes in individual packaging as well! Silk Almond Milk Single Serves are great for on-the-go, lunch boxes, snacks, etc. In Vanilla and Chocolate with 90 calorie servings or 120 for the chocolate the single servings do not need to be refrigerated and have all the benefits of Almond milk in convenient on the go sizing.
I love Silk in Smoothies…What is your favorite Silk for Milk substitution?

I didn’t know Silk came in single servings. Good to know. And it tastes good too! I hate milk, so I was afraid to try it. Glad I did.

I’m loving cashew milk as a replacement in my smoothies. I find it a bit creamier than almond, but still a perfect non-dairy option. Thanks for sharing your recipes!

Hi Emily!
My son had severe nodular acne and had to be treated with accutane at the University Hospital. While he was in treatment the Dermatology doctors were all talking about a new study that proved without a doubt that the one thing they said DOES NOT cause acne did! They always maintained that you coul dnot get or make acne worse by anthing you ate or drank, those were old wives tales about chocolatet etc….
Turns out, the study proved, that whey causes acne. And they fortify cow’s milk with whey to thicken it! My son is 6′ 10″ tall – he drank tons of milk to keep up with his bone growth!
The Dr. ordered him to stop drinking skim milk and asked him to drink Almond Milk, We drank almond milk for years, then my hubby came home with cashew by mistake and we loved it! It is all we drink. Hunter is excited about your post and making a smoothie now 🙂 Thanks so much!
