Discover the amazing ways to use plant-based products

Why plants?
What exactly is a plant-based diet?

It’s a choice. And a tasty one. To get technical, it’s having a diet that is based on foods that come from plants, with few or no foods from animal sources. And to get even more technical, it’s pretty awesome! There’s a ton of documented benefits. For one, Consuming plant-based foods is associated with better weight management. Also, plants are a great source of vitamins, potassium, fibre and lots of other important nutrients that we’d list if we weren’t running out of space. Of course, you don’t have to go totally vegan or vegetarian to start seeing the benefits. Improving your diet can be as easy as adding in more vegetables and fruits, whole grains or nuts every day.

Everyday Health = Small steps that add up

We believe that eating good means feeling good. Real gooooood. And it’s the small steps that get us there. Things like rolling out of bed for an early morning run or blending up an energizing almond smoothie for your commute to work. Or simply taking the stairs instead of awkwardly trying not to make eye contact in the elevator. There’s more than one way to make the little changes that have an impact. You’ve got this!

Plant based Tips and Tricks

1. Bring the heat… carefully

Like milk, Silk will scorch if cooked at too high a temperature and can form a skin when heated. Stir constantly and use moderate heat for best results.

2. Add a little thickener

Because most Silk products are low in saturated fat, they require a little extra thickener to set up properly in puddings and custards. For your cooked pudding recipes, add 3 tablespoons cornstarch. The proof is in the pudding!

3. Sip it—don’t whip it

Silk for Coffee doesn’t contain enough fat to whip up like dairy cream, so you can skip the whip. Instead, drizzle it over fresh fruit or cobbler for an added bite of deliciousness.

4. Fridge over freezer

Freezing Silk isn’t recommended for storage because the consistency and taste can deteriorate when thawed. Hot tip: Silk might not freeze, but it’s the perfect partner for frozen desserts. Jazz up any icy treat, from fruity popsicles to Granita.

5. Find your flavour

Silk Unsweetened Original is our most neutral Silk, suitable for almost any recipe. Silk Original brings a hint of sweetness and is an addition to most cooking occasions.

6. Sweeten your treats

Silk Vanilla and Silk Chocolate are made to bring that bonus hit of flavour to desserts and breakfast treats.
