White Wave Foods launches Silk PureAlmond almondmilk in Original, Vanilla, and Dark Chocolate.
As more and more people look for an alternative to dairy milk that won't sacrifice taste and nutrition, Broomfield, Colo.-based White Wave Foods launches Silk PureAlmond almondmilk in Original (at 60 calories a glass), Vanilla (90 calories), and Dark Chocolate (120 calories).  Dairy, soy, and cholesterol free, PureAlmond is 100% lactose and dairy free made from whole almonds and has the subtle, satisfying flavor of real, natural almonds. It also provides as much calcium and vitamin D as milk – but with no saturated fat and fewer calories than 1% milk.  Health professionals recognize that almonds are a nutritious addition to a healthy diet. A serving of almonds is an excellent source of vitamin E, a natural antioxidant that has been studied for its role in supporting normal heart and brain function, as well as promoting a healthy complexion. Each serving of Silk PureAlmond almondmilk provides an impressive 50 percent of the RDV of this essential nutrient."Silk is committed to and known for offering a variety of delicious and nutritious dairy-free products," says Craig Shiesley, the brand's vice president.  "We believe in giving people great tasting, high quality and healthy alternatives to milk – from a brand they know and trust – so they can incorporate more plant-based foods from nature into their diet." Suggested retail price is $2.99 -- $3.49.
