BROOMFIELD, CO – Silk® has expanded its offerings of plant-based alternatives to dairy milk with the introduction of Silk Creamy Cashew, a cashew-based beverage free of cholesterol, lactose, dairy, soy and gluten.
With its smooth, creamy and mild taste, Silk Creamy Cashew offers a new plant-based beverage alternative for consumers, and at only 60 calories per serving, it has 33 per cent fewer calories than skim milk.
Silk has long been known for its delicious soy, almond and coconut beverages, and is Canada's No. 1 plant-based beverage brand. Creamy Cashew represents the release of the first cashew milk in the refrigerated case, and is a continuation of the brand's commitment to bring a variety of nutritious and delicious plant-based products to consumers, as well as its innovation in the dairy alternative category.
"Consumers continue to seek plant-based beverages and Silk Creamy Cashew provides another great alternative to dairy milk," said Craig Shiesley, the brand's President. "It offers a smooth, creamy taste combined with the calcium and Vitamin D consumers are looking for, with fewer calories per serving than skim milk."
Silk Creamy Cashew is verified by The Non-GMO Project, which is the only organization providing independent, third-party verification and non-GMO guidance for products in the U.S. and Canada.
