Silk Fruit & Protein is what happens after milk and juice marry and have a super baby.
Ask any parent to name the types of foods they have in their fridge and they'll list you a wide range of foods. Everything from applesauce in a packet to low sugar juice. And no, most of the foods in the fridge weren't purchased with the adults in mind. They were purchased with the kids in mind. And I'm not sure if it's just my kid (you know, the 5 year old that made himself three sandwiches for lunch), but they eat and drink A LOT. And they do it every.single.day. So it's nice to always have a wide array of foods and drinks. Enter... Silk Fruit & Protein, a delicious new fruit juice blend that does double duty because it also happens to be a good source of protein (something that other juices don’t have).
As a mom of two vegetarian kids, protein is of utmost importance. I mean... it's what the brain needs to grow, right? And honestly, there are only so much tofu, beans and peanut butter that the kids will eat. It's nice to have something so scrumptious (and in three amazing flavors: Mixed Berry, Mango Peach, Strawberry Banana) for the kids to slurp up.
My kiddos (yes, endorsements from both of them), love this juice. We're not cow milk drinkers (but we'll load up on the cheese, I explain in another post) so Silk is our go-to soy milk of choice. It's one of the few soy milk options that is offered in a "light" version. Anyway, this new Fruit & Protein version works for the kids because I'm the mom that waters down their juice. I can't stand the thought of the kids having sugar just sloshing around in their mouth and settling in their teeth. And yes, I do know that Silk Fruit & Protein has sugar, but it also has calcium, vitamin D, & vitamin C. It's a double-duty kind of a drink.
The kids love adventures in food and so they add this beverage to their cereal. Yes, I'll let them do whatever they want with their food so long as they eat it. Who knows... maybe they'll grow up to be chefs!
Now... where do you get it. I've seen Silk Fruit & Protein everywhere. From Target to the Mexican grocery stores, every one is carrying it. But, just to make sure that your fave grocery store has it in stock, you can check here on the
Silk store locator. And make sure to grab your
$1 off Silk Fruit & Protein coupon and enjoy it frugally.
