Do You Love My Silk? {Giveaway}

August 28, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

.

Disclosure: I was not compensated for this review, but the giveaway prize is being provided by Silk. As always, all opinions are my own.

********************

I’m back with another fun giveaway to keep the anniversary celebrations going!! Tomorrow is the official day, but who wants to celebrate only one day out of the year? I know I like to stretch out the fun as long as possible!

Today I’m featuring my favorite non-dairy milk – Silk!! There are a lot of non-dairy milk options available these days, which is great for those of us who choose not to drink milk or are lactose-intolerant. I use Silk Unsweetened Pure Almond Milk in many of my recipes featured here.

Why Silk?

It’s almost overwhelming when you see all the options to choose from! At the beginning of this year, I switched to Silk and haven’t looked back. The low calorie count originally caught my attention. I use Silk Unsweetened Pure Almond Milk, which is only 30 calories per serving. Since I tend to use a lot of milk every day, the lower calorie count is appealing to me.

In addition, it has 50% more calcium than dairy milk, good source of vitamin E, no artificial colors or flavors, and is verified by the Non-GMO project. All good things in my book! And it doesn’t contain carrageenan, which I originally learned from Brittany is known to cause inflammation.

Of course, Silk also makes soy milk, coconut milk, iced lattes, fruit & protein smoothies, creamers, & more. So whatever your non-dairy milk related needs, they probably have you covered. 🙂

Silk Giveaway

Since this is a daily staple in my house, I was excited when the folks at Silk agreed to share their yummy products with you.  And big celebration calls for a big prize – 10 FREE cartons of Silk!! The winner will receive 10 coupons that you can use to stock up on your favorite Silk products. That’s a lot of non-dairy milk!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

⬇️ What is one thing that scares you & how are you working on it?

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?

"Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know i "Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know it at the time." -Mitch Albom

Last Friday, we ventured to a trail near Carbondale for the most beautiful ride with huge wildflowers everywhere. It was a great trail with good climbing, plenty of flow in the middle, and A LOT of switchbacks on the descent. Our first 2 hour ride of the season and it was a blast!

I didn't know it at the time, but it was also the last ride on my Liv mountain bike - because I got a new bike on Sunday! ✨

If you're in Colorado & in the market for a new bike, I highly recommend Over The Edge in Fruita. I test rode 6 bikes & then took the Pivot Mach 5.5 out on the trail to be sure it was the right one. Great experience!!
