It was just three and a half years ago that our daughter was born. When she started drinking milk we noticed something went wrong. She was miserable! After much reading, speaking to her pediatrician and then cutting milk products out-we knew she had a milk allergy. That’s when we started trying all the milk alternatives we could find. By far the best tasting and healthiest ones were almond and coconut milk. And I liked it so much that I switched too! It was easy once we found some great almond milk recipes!
Thank you #CollectiveBias and #SilkAlmondBlends for the fun afternoon of making and enjoying delicious smoothies. I’m going to love telling you all about it!
This week we experimented with blueberries. They are in season and so yummy right now! Blueberries and lemon sounded like the perfect summer treat.
I found some NEW Silk Blends at Safeway, Almond and Coconut milk and AlmondMilk Protein & Fiber!
A few more ingredients and a hot summer afternoon and it was the perfect smoothie making time!
I made some smoothies with the Silk Almond Coconut milk and some with the AlmondMilk Protein & Fiber.

• Excellent source of vitamin E

And the Protein & Fiber blend of AlmondMilk nutritional benefits are just what my husband and I need daily:
• 50% more calcium than dairy milk2
• Good source of protein
• Excellent source of fiber
• Excellent source of vitamin E
• Absolutely no cholesterol or saturated fat

The lemon blueberry smoothies were wonderful! If you could put summer in a cup, it would be this!
The kids loved them too. Each had a big 12 ounce glass and asked for more!
Pick up some fresh blueberries; you have to try these smoothies this summer!
