#Silk #SilkDarkChocolateAlmondMilk #Silk #SilkUnsweetAlmondMilk #AlmondMilkMixReview
I mixed this with the Silk unsweet almond milk and it was okay.
The Silk dark chocolate almond milk overpowered the un sweet Silk almond milk.
This almond milk mix was lightly sweet while creamy in texture.
I would drink this again or eat it with cereal.

🌸My Safe Packaged Foods (Pt. 3)🌸
Halo Top Lime Fruit Pops (35 kcals per popsicle)
Tumblr media
•Too legit. They taste like sugary lemonade and keep me full for so long.
Boca Vegan Veggie Burgers (70 kcals per burger)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
•13g protein and super easy to prep with some broccoli on the side and topped with hot sauce. Plus they’re pretty cheap when you get them in bulk.
La Croix (0 kcals per can)
•They’re a nice break from sweet zero-cal drinks and honestly make me feel so healthy. Also super filling.
Edward & Sons Not-Chick’n Bouillon Cubes (15 kcals for 1/2 cube)
Tumblr media
•I use these to make a quick vegan “chicken” broth to sip on instead of binging. I also love that it can spice up the blandest of low-cal foods.
Braggs Nutritional Yeast (40 kcals in 2 tbsp.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
•I honestly think this is a must-have for anyone restricting calories. It’s loaded with protein, iron, B vitamins, and so many more nutrients for just 40 kcals. Plus, it literally tastes like cheese so it can be used as a parm replacement. I like to use it in sauces/gravies to boost the flavor and nutrition in my recipes. I can only do 1 tbsp. though.
Silk Organic Unsweet Soy Milk (80kcals per cup)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
•Although it’s higher in calories than almond milk, it’s still much lower than whole milk and provides so much more protein and overall nutrition. This makes it perfect for anyone on a restrictive diet. I can’t do the sweetened versions but they’re equally good, and would be amazing in iced coffee.
Cream of Wheat (120 kcals per serving)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
•Honestly so much better than oatmeal and contains a lot more nutrition for less calories—especially iron!

What's your favourite almond milk?
I like the Unsweeted Original Almond Breeze! The Vanilla and the sweetened ones have a weird flavor to me, and all the Silk brands taste a little weird to me too. I’ll certainly drink Silk’s unsweeted original, if it’s the only thing, but I always prefer Almond Breeze!

Yogurt Adds
Silk Unsweet Almond Milk Yogurt with Vanilla. Add oat bran for the fiber, which will feed the bacteria, and take it with a probiotic pill as well. Boost for the gut bacteria. Stop using yogurts that have added sugar. They have so much sugar they are candy. Silk Unsweet Almond Yogurt with Vanilla

Food Facts Friday: Coffee Creamers
Tumblr media
Is there anything better than a nice cup of coffee in the morning to start your day? There are so many ways to flavor your wake-up cup of coffee. If you are following a kidney diet, you may be wondering if you can keep drinking coffee. Yes, you can still drink it, but be aware of what you add to it and how much you drink. Not all coffee creamers are equal.
An 8-ounce cup of black coffee contains 116 mg potassium.1 This is considered low in potassium, but if you drink several cups of coffee a day it can add up.
Coffee Creamers
Creamers vary in nutrients and additives they contain, so it is important to look at the Nutrition Facts label and Ingredients list. Below is an example. Coffee creamers can add phosphorus and potassium.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Nutrition Facts label does not always show how much phosphorus or potassium is in a creamer, but the Ingredients list will display potassium and phosphorus additives. It is recommended that people trying to limit phosphorus limit their intake of foods and beverages containing phosphorus additives.2 90% or more of the phosphorus from phosphorus additives is absorbed during digestion. Foods and beverages that contain naturally occurring phosphorus have an absorption rate of 40 to 60%.
The first table below shows some common coffee creamers that do contain phosphorus and potassium additives, while the second table shows some that do not.
Examples of Coffee Creamers with Potassium/Phosphorus Additives Name Additives Coffee Mate®, liquid (all flavors) Dipotassium phosphate Coffee Mate®, powder Dipotassium phosphate International Delight® creamer (all flavors, sugar-free, fat-free) Dipotassium phosphate Starbucks® Non-dairy Caramel Flavored Creamer Made with almond milk; contains Potassium citrate Starbucks® Non-dairy Hazelnut Flavored Creamer Made with almond milk; contains Potassium citrate Silk® Almondmilk Creamer, Vanilla Potassium citrate Silk® Dairy-free Soy Creamer Dipotassium phosphate
Examples of Coffee Creamers without Potassium/Phosphorus Additives Name Ingredients Coffee Mate natural bliss® vanilla creamer nonfat milk, heavy cream, cane sugar, natural flavor Coffee Mate natural bliss® Vanilla Almond Milk creamer almond milk, coconut cream, cane sugar, natural vanilla Coffee Mate natural bliss® Original Cashew Milk cashew milk (water, cashews), cane sugar, coconut oil, lemon juice from concentrate, baking soda, pea protein, natural flavor, almonds, gellan gum, guar gum Coffee Mate natural bliss® Sweet Crème Coconut Milk almond milk (water, almonds), cane sugar, coconut oil, pea protein, baking soda, natural flavor, sea salt, gellan gum, guar gum Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Flavored Creamer nonfat milk, sugar, heavy cream, buttermilk, vegetable oil (high oleic soybean oil), natural flavor, gellan gum Starbucks® Cinnamon Dolce Flavored Creamer nonfat milk, sugar, heavy cream, buttermilk, vegetable oil (high oleic soybean oil), natural flavor, gellan gum Silk® Dairy Free Half & Half Alternative coconut milk (filtered water, coconut cream), oatmilk (filtered water, whole oat flour), organic coconut oil, faba bean protein, baking soda, natural flavor, gellan gum
Choosing a creamer that does not contain potassium or phosphorus additives can help reduce your daily potassium and phosphorus intake. If you do like the creamers that contain these additives, try to limit the amount used. One powdered creamer packet, or suggested liquid single serving is not high in potassium or phosphorus, but adding multiple servings in a cup of coffee can add up. 
When possible, choose the additive-free creamer. For example, if you love pumpkin spice flavoring in your homemade coffee, choose the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Flavored Creamer over the Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice Creamer.
Types of Milk
If you like lattes or use milk instead of creamer, the type of milk you choose can add to the potassium and phosphorus in coffee. Dairy milk contains the greatest amount of potassium and phosphorus. Low-phosphorus milk alternatives include rice, soy, coconut and almond milk. Potassium content varies. It is important to read the labels as some products may contain additives. Milk alternatives labeled as “enriched” usually contain phosphorus additives and should be avoided.
Milk and Alternatives Name Phosphorus (mg/cup) Potassium (mg/cup) Additives Dairy milk 240 350 – Silk® Almondmilk, unsweetened 24   170 – Silk® soymilk 220 380 tricalcium phosphate Silk® Organic soymilk 80 350 – Rice Dream® Rice milk Original Classic 50 34   – Rice Dream® Rice milk Original Enriched 150 N/A tricalcium phosphate
*Ingredients including additives in products can be subject to change. Always check the Nutrition Facts label for a complete and current list of ingredients.
Summary
You can still enjoy your coffee while following a kidney diet. Read the ingredients list to identify creamers that do not contain phosphorus and potassium additives. Use 1/2 cup or less of dairy milk or try a milk alternative, including almond, soy and rice milk that are not enriched.

I mixed the General Mills Carmella Creeper Monster Cereal, General Mills Frute Brute Cherry Flavored Monster Cereal, and Cap'nCrunch Halloween Crunch Cereal, with the Silk Unsweet Almond Milk.
This cereal mix was pretty good.
The dry version of this mixed tasted like it had a light caramel. cherry and a vanilla caramel from the Cap'nCrunch taste while also crunchy.
This was sweet but not overly sweet to me.
I tried this with the Silk Unsweet Almond Milk and it was pretty good.
This cereal mix tasted pretty good but still stayed crunchy in both almond milks.
The cereal milk gave the unsweetened almond milk some sweetness that this almond milk needed.
This was sweet but not overly sweet to me.
The milk had a light caramel, a vanilla caramel, and cherry sweet taste.
I would eat this again.
I already reviewed all three of these cereals with both Kroger almond milk before but not mixed together.
