The Balancing Act and WhiteWave Foods are Asking-- Got Silk?

A Silky Smooth Alternative….



(Pompano Beach, FL September, 2009)  If you’re like some people that are lactose intolerant, or are monitoring your fats and cholesterol, or maybe you have food allergies related to dairy--  drinking milk can be an “udder” disaster!  There are some healthy alternatives or substitutes for milk on the market—but finding one that actually tastes good poses a challenge for most people.  WhiteWave Foods have accepted, and won that challenge by introducing Silk Soy Milk!   “Moooo-ve” your DVR settings to tune in The Balancing Act  as they’re joined by WhiteWave Foods—and Silk Soy Milk September 23rd on Lifetime Television at 7 a.m. (Eastern/Pacific—check your local listings). 

 

It will be an exciting show as The Balancing Act welcomes to the program their very own Culinary Expert and Chef— Jeremy Hanlon.  Chef Hanlon will be sharing some recipes on just how Silk Soy Milk can be an awesome substitute for regular dairy milk.

 

There are so many benefits to Silk Soy Milk— in addition to containing soy protein and as much calcium as milk , Silk contains no cholesterol, is lactose and gluten free, is very low in saturated fats-- and provides a dose of Omega-3s and protective antioxidants.

 

Another good thing to know is that Silk Soy Milk is great by itself, like in your bowl of cereal, in your coffee, or even straight from the glass!

 

Chef Hanlon comments, “I found that you can basically substitute Silk in almost any recipe. I like to use it to give my mashed potatoes a creamy texture. You can also bake with it, and even use it in soups. It TRULY can be used anywhere you’d normally use dairy milk.”

 

The biggest benefit of all is that according to the FDA, soymilk contains heart-healthy soy protein. In fact, it’s called one of Nature’s Perfect Proteins-- which means it may help reduce risk of heart disease.
