Silk Vanilla Heart Health Soymilk

By: Ellen | May 11, 2010

I recently tried Silk Soymilk again to find that I like it way more than I remember. In fact, given how hard 8th Continent Light Soymilk is to find at some grocery stores near me, Silk may be edging in for the lead in terms of soymilks that I buy. I was curious about the new Silk Heart Health Soymilk, which according to the company's website, combines the benefits of soy protein and phytosterols, thus providing heart-healthy benefits. Sounds good to me and at $2.99 per 1/2 gallon, the cost definitely wasn't prohibitive.

I poured myself a cup of this milk and took a sip. To be honest, I didn't notice much of a taste difference between this and the Light variety, although it might have a bit heartier of a flavor. It's smooth and vanilla-y, which is all I really need in a soymilk. I love this plain, in coffee, in smoothies, on cereal, and the list goes on and on. Given the delicious taste but lack of "light" on the package, I worried about the calories; that is, until I turned the package over.

Each 1 cup serving of Silk Vanilla Heart Health Soymilk provides 80 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 5% of the daily value for sodium, 1 gram of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, 6 grams of protein. There is also 50% of the DV for vitamin B12 and 30% for calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin
