Silk Ultra Protein Milk for High-Performance
Silk Ultra Protein Milk for High-PerformanceThe folks at Danone have gone back to the drawing-room for a new protein plant-based milk with the launch of NEW SilkĀ® Ultra Plant-Based Protein Drink. Each serving has 20 grams of protein.
The new milk is perfect for drinking on its own, enjoying in your morning cereal or smoothie, or post-workout as a recovery drink. It is available in original soy milk and chocolate soy milk at Safeway.
As consumers are looking to increase their intake of plant-based proteins, this is a great alternative to the original line of non-dairy plant-based milk.

The last high-protein plant-based milk from Silk was their Silk Protein Nut Milk in 2017, for which I created a Blueberry Pie Protein Smoothie recipe. The nut milk has 10 grams of protein and 2 grams of sugar.

Silk Ultra Plant-Based Protein Milk Review
I picked up the chocolate protein milk and have to say I enjoyed it as did my kids. It was smooth and rich, with a velvety chocolate taste. I used the protein milk to make a peanut butter banana chocolate smoothie as a post-workout recovery drink.
It was filling and delicious! Will totally buy again. With no chalky aftertaste like a traditional protein smoothie – this milk is the perfect drink for fueling your body with plant-based protein.

So disappointed that Silk discontinued this product. I used it to make vegan yogurt. I was the only soy beverage which grew an adequate lactobacillus culture to make really thick yogurt.
