Silk was early on the Omega-3 bandwagon. They actually launched their first fatty-acid enriched milk beverage more than a decade ago. But they eventually retired that soymilk to make room for this new Silk DHA Omega-3, which is made with a base of their almondmilk, oatmilk, and pea protein. Each cup is enriched with 32 milligrams of DHA Omega-3, 50% more calcium than dairy milk, and 6 grams of protein.
Silk DHA Omega-3 is Plant-Based Milk with Brain Power
This boosted beverage is a part of Silk’s nutritional line, so it comes solely in unsweetened and lightly sweetened flavors. It’s also surprisingly light in both fat and calories. Once you try it, leave your own rating and review below! It helps others make an informed purchasing decision.
