Silk CHOCOLATE Almond Milk

Post by humbird753 »

About two weeks ago, I (for the first time) saw that Silk almond milk also came in Chocolate! I bought some and love it. I have re-read the label several times thinking there must be something bad in there for me because it tastes so good :drool:

I don't believe I have a reaction to it.

Has anyone here tried it? It's DF/SF/GF/EF. Has anyone tried it and had adverse reactions to it?

I haven't tried it, but I have seen it. I guess since I try not to do too many sweets, I wouldn't start drinking chocolate milk ( I never did before MC), but if one is trying to put weight on and can tolerate it…..why not?

I've also seen it, but since I never craved chocolate milk, I've never tried it either (and probably never will, since I seem to have problems with chocolate these days).

But if you can tolerate chocolate, (and the extra calories), I don't see anything wrong with it.

Paula,

You can have chocolate? well, good for you. Both the chocolate and the calories (and the sugar, for sure) are very bad for me! It's like drinking a grenade!

Enjoy!

I am sensitive to chocolate too. Sigh.

But happy when others can tolerate it!

I have a square of dark chocolate almost every day. It's the only sweet thing I eat and the only thing I eat with an ingredients list (no soy in it of course). Doesn't seem to bother me at all. Guess I'm just lucky.

I have had it and I do enjoy it! However I find the Almond Fresh Chocolate Milk much better!
I have never seem to have a problem with any of the chocolate products I have eaten. But I am very carefuly to make sure that it is completely dairy and soy free.
I have even found a few chocolate bars that taste like realy chocolate bars!!! However they are hard to find. Only one store in my city sells them.. But when I do find them, I buy a box full! lol

OttawaGirl, If you can find Perugina dark chocolate, it's delicious, creamy and soy and milk free.

I've been eating this chocolate:

I get it on subscribe and save, 12 bars at a time and only eat 1 square per day so it lasts a long time.

I notice that Walmart sells the Lindt 90 % bars in stores in this area. They also sell the 85 % Lindt bars, which also appear to be free of most of the ingredients that prevent many of us from eating most chocolate bars. The reason why I noticed that they stock them is because I bought one of each a couple of months ago, but so far I haven't been able to get up the nerve to try one of them. :lol:

Tex,

Just test it...don't have a whole bar, start with a small piece and see how that feels...

OK, I'll try again, but a couple of months ago I tested a very small corner of a different brand (that appeared to have a safe ingredient list), and it resulted in D. :sigh:

I never craved chocolate before MC, and really don't now, although I occasionally crave something sweet. So when I saw this in the store I tried it. Usually drink about 4 oz. at a time. Hasn't bothered me yet! I don't eat other chocolates at all. The ingredients are: Almondmilk (filtered water, almonds), cane sugar, cocoa (Dutch process), sea salt, natural flavor, locust bean gum, sunflower lecithin and gellan gum. It says it is DF/SF/GF, lactose free, no cholesterol, EF, casein free, MSG free!

Hope everyone is doing well.
