Quantcast Vegetarian StarSilk Soy Milk

One company offering several non-dairy drinks may lead the way to more Americans incorporating soy, almond and coconut beverages into their everyday eating routines.

Silk is offering a 10-day challenge where it asks customers to use its soy, almond and coconut milk products in place of dairy for a little over a week to see how easy it is to cook, eat and drink without cow’s milk.

Out of all the things wrong with a teenage drama show on a family oriented channel (murder of the Queen Bee, dating your high school English teacher), at least Pretty Little Liars gets diet and nutrition right.

A recent episode of the show starring Ashley Benson as Hanna Marin shows Hanna opening the fridge in her kitchen that is stocked full of soymilk!

Silk Plain, Vanilla and Chocolate are what Hanna sips on when she’s not wondering what happened to her deceased friend and taking creepy, annoying text messages from the mysterious “A” character that keeps reminding the girls he/she knows everything that’s happened. Whatever may have happened.

Hanna, her mother and teen girls around the world can relax now that Silk has revealed it’s staying true to its organic roots. Sorta. The company took some heat from Whole Foods when it was discovered it started using the “natural” label on most of its products while pushing a small line of organics. Whole Foods then decided to limit the distribution of Silk.

But Silk still wasn’t using GMO soybeans then and it doesn’t now. Plus, there are still dedicated organic varieties.

Gunnar Peterson, Celebrity Fitness Expert, Promotes Silk Soy Milk

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 17th, 2009 in Business, Food & Drink.

3rd Annual Matt Leinart Foundation Bowling Night

Gunnar Peterson, a celebrity fitness trainer, has teamed up with Silk Soy Milk to promote the dairy free goodness drink.

“I encourage all of my clients to choose foods that satisfy their hunger and supply them with enough energy and fuel to get through a busy day,” said Peterson.

“Silk soymilk is one of the easiest ways to add protein into your daily diet. With nutrient-rich ingredients like whole harvested soybeans, it’s really a perfect protein for any time of the day.”

Peterson has worked with many professional sports players in the NFL, NBA, NHL and NCAA.

We’re not sure of Gunnar’s vegetarian status. Would it have been more suitable to have vegetarian Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper promote Silk?

“Soymilk contains all of the essential amino acids for optimum health and experts agree that soy protein is comparable to the protein found in dairy, meat and eggs,” Peterson added. “But, unlike many animal-protein sources, Silk is low in saturated fat and 100 percent cholesterol free.”

Yay!

Now show us the soybean mustache, Gunnar.
