Great for smoothies
I used silk ultra protein for my smoothies and loved it. Now I can’t find it anywhere 😩
Absolutely The Best!
I have a cow milk allergy and I am unable to drink half and half in my morning cup of Joe. I tried over a dozen creamers before I tried Silk ultra protein unsweetened. The other non dairy products are either sweet or thin. I don’t like any sugar near my coffee and this has no sweetness just adds a lot of body and creaminess to my coffee. The protein so early in the morning is simply a bonus. This product has been MIA for several months now. I called Silk and they stated that is not a discontinued item but had no further information to offer. I asked for a coupon to try another item on their line and they never sent anything. Horrible service, gather they aren’t interested in my business
Silk Ultra Unsweet
Simply the best… extremely disappointed that it has been discontinued. I don’t know if ANY product on the market to replace it.
Where is the chocolate Silk Ultra????
I love the chocolate Silk Utra milk. It was helping me get the protein I need. I have a bad kidney that leaks the protein out of my body. This drink was so very important to me. They use to sell it at Walmart and now it’s gone!
Response from Go Dairy Free
I’d check with the store locator on silk.com. It is still being produced.
Best plant milk for making yogurt; hard to find lately
I’ve been using the Ultra Original for making homemade yogurt, and it blows store-bought soymilk yogurt out of the water, at a fraction of the price too. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any of the Ultra ones in the past month here in Portland, OR, and none of the other soy milks I’ve tried (Silk or other brands) are nearly as good for yogurt – they produce a result that is far too watery unless you strain it and lose 70% of the volume.
Love it!
I love this product!
Some reviews on SILK website have eluded to maybe they are discontinuing? Please tell me it’s NOT TRUE! I found this out of town on vacation. I started using the chocolate one in my coffee (with a splash of Silk Vanilla Soycreamer) instead of soymilk- between 2 cups of coffee I am getting 18g of protein before my day even starts! (Without even getting out the blender) When I returned home, I found that after I bought all that was on my store shelf, they did not restock…. Same with 2 other stores… WHAT’S GOING ON??? maybe need better marketing…. Those people doing samples in the grocery store would do great for this product! (I can’t have regular milk so other premixed shakes that I have seen, like MuscleMilk are no-go for me, and I seem to do especially well with soy)
Response from Go Dairy Free
It’s still being produced, but like with many products, there are supply chain and distribution issues that can affect availability.
Delicious and Nutritious
I drink this in the chocolate version every morning for breakfast, it’s very refreshing she I like knowing it’s also a nutritious way to start my day! It has helped me lose 30 pounds, please keep making it!
I LOVE THIS 20GM of PROTEIN!!!!
I have used this Silk 20gm of protein in everything and takes the place of milk. Its the cream in my coffee and milk in my cereal….. This stuff is wonderful and has made being a vegan so much easier. I am so very sad that I can no longer find this item for purchase anywhere!!!!!
PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE!!!!!
I feel like something is missing if I dont have my Ultra silk
I was upset and sad when my local publix stopped selling this brand. I would by 6-8 at once lasting me about 2 weeks. Thank you walmart for keeping it on the self. After you have this milk I cant imagine going to anyother milk it just feels so thin and lack luster. Once you go thick you wont want to go back. Silk keep up the great work
Love it
Great in smoothies and a great way to get that extra protein you need.
