Chocolate is one of my weaknesses. I love chocolate in all sorts of forms, especially in a nice cold or hot beverage. If you are a fan of the Silk products, you are in for a sweet treat!
On the Silk Facebook page, you can visit their Silkology Winter Tab to find recipes for 16 different YUMMY beverages that include the Silk products.

From the Silkology page, I made the Double Chocolate Smoothie which was pretty good and the recipe is below:
Double Chocolate Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Silk Chocolate soymilk or Silk Pure Almond Dark Chocolate
- 1 banana peeled, sliced and frozen
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tsp honey optional
Instructions
-
Freeze banana for at least an hour or overnight. Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth and thick. Serve with a bendy straw.
-
Note: For a super-thick, milkshake-style smoothie, add two frozen bananas instead of one.
Since my banana was small I added a couple ice cubes to my blender to make my smoothie thicker and added a sprinkle of cinnamon on the top! 🙂
If you like to come up with your own recipes and you like the Silk products, I recommend submitting a recipe to Silk’s Holiday Recipe Contest. You don’t have to make a beverage either, you can get creative and make any recipe that uses the soy milk, almond milk or coconut milk as a substitute for milk or dairy products. (View Official Rules)
When you upload your recipe, you have the chance to win a KitchenAid Stand Mixer and Silk for a year! There are 3 different categories you can submit your recipe under and the top 10 vote-getters in each category will become finalists. What is neat is all qualified entries will receive a Silk Apron.
