I’m sad to say that Silk Ultra Protein Milk has been discontinued. You can still get Silk Protein Milk, which has a lesser amount of protein, but still beats most milk alternatives.
One of the oldest and most popular dairy alternative brands has gone back to their roots to make the highest protein milk beverage to date. Silk Ultra is soymilk with a whopping 20 grams of protein per cup. It contains 2.5 times more protein than milk, and is fortified with various vitamins and minerals, including calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. It’s geared toward athletes and fitness enthusiasts who are ready to up their dairy-free game.

Sounds excellent in theory!
I love the innovation and the choices you have created for non dairy consumers. Just a suggestion: take the calcium carbonate out of all your products! Companies change the flavor and keep the same ingredients in the rest of it, but if you are allergic to one of those base ingredients, you can’t buy any of it!
Best Soy Protein Drink I’ve Tried
I tried the plain flavor and it’s decent, it definitely has a worse taste than regular soymilk, but that’s not a fair comparison. It’s by far the best soy protein drink I’ve had. The texture is thick and smooth. I added some chocolate syrup to mine, so I can’t comment on the sweetness level, but it seems comparable to the original soymilk. Hoping I can find the chocolate flavor soon!
