Happy Hump Day!
Don’t worry folks – we’re already halfway through the week! 
This morning I took off on a 4 mile-ish run. I’m calling it 4 mile-ish because I deviated from my normal route and lord only knows how far I actually ran without my garmin (and I’m too lazy to check out mapmyrun.com ).
I did make it back before 6:40 am, so no matter how far my route actually was it was still within the time I had been counting on.
By the way, guess who saw themselves on tv this morning?!?! ME!
They started playing the Chevy Girl on the Go commercials on WESH Channel 2, so if you are in the Orlando area be on the look out for my lovely face (and Caitlin’s too!!) 
The commercial popped on during the Today Show while I was eating breakfast.
Breakfast was a lovely container of Overnight Oats in a Yogurt Container.
- vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- Silk Original Pure Almond Milk (Freebie <—stay tuned for giveaway below)
- cacao nibs
- craisins
- naturally nutty cinnamon vanilla sunflower butter
- cinnamon
- kiwi
- honey puffs
Overnight oats are quickly becoming my favorite post-hot run meal. It’s such a refreshing way to start the day.
Silk Pure Almond Giveaway
I was sent a coupon a few weeks ago for the new Silk Pure Almond Milk to sample and review on the blog. The only almond milk I’ve had the pleasure of tasting in the past has been the Almond Breeze Almond Milk and I have to be honest when I say I can’t taste the difference between the two. I’ve never been one to drink the almond milk straight shudders but I do enjoy it as an alternative to regular milk in smoothies, overnight oats, and in baked goods.
I can tell you that I’m not a fan of the Vanilla Almond Breeze – it just tastes off to me when mixed in smoothies – and because of that have no plans of trying the vanilla version of Silk’s almond milk. The original is A-OK in my books. And depending on which one is cheaper at the time ( Silk v Almond Breeze ) will probably be the one that I purchase.
But, don’t take my word for it, here’s a chance for you to try for yourself!
The people have silk have provided me with an additional coupon for a FREE half gallon of Pure Silk Almond Milk and a Silk Pure Almond branded Chico Bag to giveaway to one lucky reader. (US residents only please!)
To enter simply leave a comment on this post with your favorite use for almond milk. Maybe you can give me some ideas!
You have until tomorrow morning to enter when I will pick a random winner in my morning post!
Good Luck!!!

I’m sure I’m going to be one of bazillion, but seriously love it in my GM.
Ok Meghann…I’m not sure I can make it through marathon training with this heat and humidity…HELP!
I like to use almond milk in making vegan fudge!
on cereal!
I LOVE almond milk! I seriously use it in everything (GM’s, cereal, baking, etc). I’ve never really been able to handle cow-milk, so almond milk is a really good alternative. It’s all I buy!
Yay for worldwide fame beckoning you!!
It was good though!
Hmm..I’ve tried almond milk once in my life, just chugged straight out of the holder
I love almond milk! My dad actually had the Silk brand in his fridge this weekend. It was vanilla though and far too sweet. I’d love to try the original!! I use it in everything, being that I’m lactose intolerant. But I think my favorite is in nice big fluffy waffles!
I actually have never tried almond milk before! But I would love to use it my oatmeal!!
how fun to see yourself on tv unexpected! i love almond milk and use it for everything! especially my green monsters
almond milk always makes an appearance in my green monsters!
cereal!!!
I always set my alarm early with the good intention of getting up and getting my work out on…and I inevitably hit the snooze button. Which turns out to be a giant pain in the tush, because (like you) I live in Orlando and lord knows that if you want to beat the heat, you have to beat the sun. What helps you get so diligently out of bed and hitting the pavement every morning?
In baked oatmeal! Or with iced coffee.
I love it in any and all smoothies! Really kicks it up a notch!
I love original almond milk in everything that I would normally use milk for. I love it in smoothies, baked goods, and even in my cereal…it’s delicious!
I love using almond milk in green monsters!
love using it in smoothies!
Oh my! I use almond milk for EVERYTHING! I never drank milk growing up, and I continued to avoid it as an adult. I will use soy occasionally, but it definitely has a distinct taste. When I first tried almond milk, I was hooked! It tastes exactly like what I always thought regular milk should taste like (if that makes sense!). I use unsweeted regular or vanilla, depending on the use. My morning iced coffee, lattes, baking/cooking (pancakes, cookies, muffins, etc.), smoothies, oatmeal, mac ‘n cheese–I use it anytime I’d use regular milk!
Mmmm, I love almond milk! In the last few months I’ve noticed the Silk vs. Almond Breeze pricing wars at the grocery store. I buy whichever one is cheaper since they both taste the same to me. Hey, I’m a price sensitive girl!! I use it in cereal, oatmeal and make an after workout chocolate milk with it. Mmmm!
I love almond milk mixed with sweet potato to make a DYN-O-MITE mashed sweet potato to eat alone or on top of a vegan casserole!!
Green monsters!!! I still have to have my skim cow’s milk for coffee in the AM. It’s a must.
Almond milk is by far my favorite milk. I don’t drink regular milk and I never liked soy. My favorite use for it is in my morning coffee — it just isn’t the same without it!
I’ve only used almond milk a few times but I’d love to try it in overnight oats (those are my new obsession too!)
I like to use it in my cereal, smoothies & iced coffee.. YUM!!
I like to use the Vanilla Silk Almond Milk in my Fitnessista inspired breakfast cookies! I have used it in smoothies as well and it tastes good to me!
I only drink almond milk and I find Silk’s to be SO much better. Less sweet than Almond Breeze!! I use it in my amazing grass shakes or on cereal or in coffee!!
im not that creative…just cereal and milk 4 me
I use AM in anything I’d put regular milk in. I, like you, can’t handle drinking milk. After reading parts of Skinny Bitch, all I can think about is it sitting in my intestines fermenting like they said the meat does. Ugh! Probably my favorite use though is in plain cereal. It has a slightly sweet taste that makes regular Cheerios taste like they’re frosted – without the added sugar. SCORE!
I use almond milk in my carrot ginger soup. It thickens up the base nicely and gives it a slightly nutty sweetness. Yummy! I also (of course!) love it in smoothies, oatmeal, overnight oats, and as a before-bed hot cocoa treat with unsweetened cocoa powder and a little bit of Stevia. It’s my favorite!
I love it in smoothies and protein ice cream! delicious!
I love almond milk in smoothies, in place of regular milk in baking, especially biscuits or muffins. MMMMM.
I love putting almond milk in my coffee. It’s the perfect substitute for creamer.
s-s-s-s-smoothies! i love the taste of almond milk, it adds a lil’ something something.
i love adding almond milk to my banana soft serve, along with almond butter!
i love putting chocolate almond milk in my GMs
I love using it for overnight oats!
Thanks for the giveaway.
I just tried almond milk for the first time in oats this morning and it was great!
I have never liked milk, even as a kid, and as I’ve gotten older it has really irritated my stomach. I use almond milk for everything…smoothies, oatmeal, cereal, and in my coffee! I would love a gallon of it!
I’ve never tried almond milk! I’m broke so I’m too scared to buy a container in case I end up not liking it!
Making AB “sauce” topping for oats – almond butter, almond milk and maple syrup. Yummm!
My favorite use for Almond Milk would have to be green monsters.
I have never tried Almond Milk before, however I would love to give it a go. I’m sure it would be delicious in a Green Monster.
i love using almond milk in cereal as a nighttime snack!
I use it in oatmeal, baking, cereal, and most especially when I make any dessert! It gives your dessert a nice flavor without being too sweet!
Almond milk is awesome for GM!
I LOVE almond milk and have almost exclusively eliminated buying cow’s milk. I used it in my banana oatmeal
Oooh! I am so excited that Silk came out with their own almond milk, I would love to try it!
I use it in my cereal, just as a milk substitute.
I love the vanilla Almond breeze – and would love to try Silks version! I use mine in my protien shake every morning! I like that I can leave my almond milk in the fridge hear at work and Nobody touches it – LOL-they think its too healthy! If they only knew what they were missing!
I’ve really wanted to try the new Silk Almond! I use almond milk in my oatmeal as well as in flax oat bran muffins that I make, I’m not sure if it gives them any flavor, but definitely helps keep them moist!
I like the unsweetened almond milk which I can only find in the tiny quart size so I usually buy ten at a time I go through it so fast! I use it in my oatmeal, drink it with a piece of chocolate, put it in my coffee…I LOVE almond milk!
I have never tried Almond milk before, and would love to see what it taste likes! I imagine I could use it in some baked oatmeal (YUM), a Green Monster Smoothie, or as a milk substitute with cereal
I love to make stuffed french toast with almond milk: take two slices of multigrain bread, spread almond/peanut butter between the two slices, dunk in mixture of beaten egg and almond milk, toast in pan with olive oil, top with fruit, and enjoy!!!
I use the vanilla almond milk over cold cereal and in my protien shakes. It does give the shake a different taste, but I like it.
I like almond milk straight (sorry!) but it’s also great in coffee and smoothies!
I love almond milk in iced coffee! It is my favorite!
I use almond milk, and soymilk, in my smoothies. Whichever is on sale!
On my cereal–and I am an unsweetened original fan. I’ve only ever tried Almond Breeze & the Pacific brand.
I love almond milk in cereal – it makes the cereal soggy but sweet in a way milk doesn’t!
I actually only use almond milk so I use it in place of milk everywhere – in my bowl of cereal, recipes, smoothies! I use unsweetened almond breeze and just add a little sugar substitute!
Almond milk poured over fresh peaches with a little bit of sugar or brown sugar makes delicious peaches and “cream!”
I like to use almond milk in my coffee! Like you I am not much of a milk drinker, so it takes me awhile to use it!
I like almond milk mixed with greek yogurt to make overnight oats. I also like it in smoothies. Yum
i use almond milk (vanilla) in my coffee & my oats. it sweetens both just enough without being overpowering or sickly sweet.
So I just checked out Silk’s website and they have so many creative recipes! Easy too!
You would love these: PUmpkin Walnut bread, Pudding, Chocolate cinnamin Cake, Bran Muffin, Spicey Corn Muffins, Butternut Squash and Apple Soup, Baked Coconut SHRIMP! (many more too)
obviously I’m excited
Here’s the link- Enjoy!

Cool giveaway, I use it with my cereal
My kids like the chocolate with a dollop of whipped cream on top
I’m sorry to be that annoying commenter w/ a grammar objection (usually I can contain myself). “Shudder” is the shiver you make when you’re grossed out, and “shutters” are the wooden things next to your windows. I see this all the time on blogs, and for some reason I feel compelled to alert the blogger more than there/their/they’re confusion, misspellings, or even plural/posessive/contraction confusion. I’m a nerd.
THANK GOD it’s humpday!
I use it in baking, it’s rich and creamy and adds great flavor
I like making smoothies with it! And any smoothie with a banana will be delicious!

What perfect time for a giveaway…I use the almond milk in my iced lattes, and recently loaded up on pacific brands organic…problem is, I don’t like it! I almost always like organic versions of things better but not this time. Also I wonder what’s really the big difference in almond milk? I am a big UVAB fan but have been meaning to try this!
i love almond milk in my oats!
I like to use almond milk in my smoothies, cereal and oatmeal, especially when I make Fitnessista breakfast cookies! I love those, just like overnight oats, they’re yummy and convenient in the morning.
i enjoy making oatmeal with anything from the Silk people. from my experience all their products have so far been very tasteful as a milk substitution. i would love to try the almond milk!
I love almond milk. I drink it straight, use it with cereal, and put it in smoothies. It’s hard to cook with though because its usually either sweetened or flavored or both.
I put my milk (whether it’s cow’s or almond) in everything: oatmeal, cereal, soaking my oats for some morning muesli, smoothies, or even just a glass after a workout or with dinner. I need my calcium, vitamin D, and protein!
I also love putting it in my morning coffee instead of creamer.
I like putting it in my scrambled eggs!
well I have been dying to try almond milk for some time now, but it is kind of expensive for me to buy an entire half gallon when I am not sure that I will like it. I am really curious to know how it will taste in my smoothies, and alongside my morning oats.
Glad you fit in a nice run and fabulous looking breakfast!I recently tried the silk almond milk and really enjoy it! It has been cheaper at my Publix than almond breeze, so I have been purchasing it most weeks (unless blue diamond is on sale). I like it in my protein shakes and in my coffee (I used to dislike almond milk in coffee, but now I’m a big fan)
Well, I’m lactose intolerant, so I use almond milk for almost everything. In oats, smoothies, and the chocolate variety for a post-run recovery drink.
Since I’m lactose intolerant (of milk, mostly—cheese in small doses and yogurt are OK!), I use almond milk in almost everything! But I especially like making oatmeal with it.
I combine strawberries, blueberries, steel cut outs and then pour the almond milk over the top.
A great warm breakfast.
Silk Vanilla Almond is my new go-to milk. I absolutely love it. Ive even been drinking it straight which is so unlike me since Im not a big milk drinker unless its flavored
I’m totally with you on not being able to drink almond milk on its own. Tried that earlier this week on a whim, yowza.

i refuse to drink it straight as well – but it works perfect in cereal, smoothies, etc. i have also used it when baking in place of regular or soy milk!
None of these uses are very creative, but I use almond milk on cereal, oatmeal, and in smoothies — and I actually prefer the taste/texture to cow’s milk! Thanks for the chance to win, Meghann.

i love it warmed and at night instead of hot cocoa
Probably like everyone else, I put almond milk in my morning smoothies. A banana, other miscellaneous fruit (strawberries, blueberries, mango, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, whatever strikes my fancy) a cup of almond milk and a scoop of hemp protein powder – sometimes chocolate, sometimes vanilla. Yum!
If I’m not making a smoothie out of it I drink it plain. Oh how I just love it right out of the carton!
I love it in my green monsters!
I actually really like Almond Milk in a bowl of cereal in the morning. Not too creative I know, but I’ve tried Almond Milk on a couple of occasions now and found it to be a good alternative to traditional dairy milk (which sometimes gives me problems!).
I LOVE almond milk! I’m vegan, so it’s my go-to item for everything from soups to muffins. I think I like it best in smoothies, it’s creamy and doesn’t detract from the flavor of everything else I toss in. I hope I win!

SMOOTHIES…with almond butter as well!!!! Yum yum yum! I love anything almond…..
I love it on cereal and basically straight, sometimes with flaxseed. Funny thing is that I’ve only liked Almond Breeze thus far, many of the other Almond milks have not made my tastebuds happy. So hopefully Silk will be even better!

Recently used Silk Almond milk along with coconut milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, almond butter, agave syrup, and oatmeal to make “almond joy” oats. Pretty good stuff!

I just recently tried almond milk for the first time and love it! When my brother and I were little we were supposed to have a glass of milk each night with dinner but didn’t like the taste of plain milk. Mom added vanilla extract and a scant teaspoon of sugar to each of our glasses to make it more kid-friendly. The Vanilla Silk tastes just like that, only better. I’ve been using it in smoothies, overnight oats, and mixing with iced tea to make an iced tea latte as an afternoon snack.
I use Silk’s almond milk for everything. It’s super… perfect on my tastebuds. In my coffee. On my cereal.
I add it to banana soft serve (about a 1/4 cup), it gives it a great creamy texture.
My two favorite things to use Almond milk in is straight up cereal and smoothies/protein shakes!

I have never used Almond milk but I definitely need to try it! I’d love to add it to smoothies and other things as i’m trying to wean myself from regular milk!!
Smoothies and green monsters!
I use it in smoothies and when I make iced coffees. Occasionally I will put it in oatmeal. My daughter loves it on granola.
I’ve only used almond milk in my iced coffee; makes it take like a fancy latte drink but still feels health. I would love to experiment more with using almond milk in cooking (hmm..maybe some thai dishes?!??)

I have never tried it but want to mix it in with my oatmeal!

Well, so far I have only tried just drinking it straight up.
I use almond milk for everything…smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods…you name it!
I love putting almond milk on any combination of cereals and fruit. It’s like trying a brand new cereal every morning!
Cereal! <3 soy/almond milk with cereal
a really simple smoothie with a whole mango, almond milk, hefty sprinkle of ground cardamom and ice. it’s the best!
I was just thinking about Almond Milk the other day!! I love using it in smoothies or sometimes with cereal
Ohhh Pure Almond milk! How I love thee and keep you stocked in my fridge at all times! I enjoy you in my coffee every morning and pour you on top of a bowl of berries for a sweet treat. You are truly delicious and I hope to see a brand new carton (might I note, free carton) of you soon!
Green Monsters and Coffee…..Silk Almond Milk would make a perfect addition to my regular routine!
Overnight oats are my fav too! With lots of nust, seeds and berries added to the mix!

I like almond milk with smoothies and cereal. Have only tried Almond Breeze and would love to try Silk!
I use almond milk in baking, over cereals, and in smoothies!
I cant have dairy so I use almond milk for everything.. Baking, with cereal, in smoothies.. yum! My favorite use would probably be for smoothies. It adds a great flavor and some creaminess.
I know its not that creative but I started using almond milk instead of fake nasty creamer at work in an attempt to put something better in my body. I also use it in smoothies and overnight oats.
My favorite use for my almond milk is to put it in my coffee with a packet of stevia. It makes my morning complete.
We don’t use any dairy, so I use almond milk for almost all of my cooking as opposed to soy milk, and use it daily in smoothies and oatmeal and over cereal, but my favorite is almond milk pudding.
I absolutely LOVE Silk’s original almond milk, versus Almond Breeze. My favorite use for almond milk is in smoothies
I like almond milk in my coffee in the morning, I have just started drinking almond milk in the last couple months due to reg milk products do not like me, but it has gotten much worse over the years! I am also allergic to Soy so this has been a great alternative!!
I have no idea what I would love to use almond milk for…..I would sure love to try it though!
I love almond milk in oat bran. So creamy!
Cottage cheese mixed with cinnamon…top with chopped fresh fruit (Strawberries, peaches, blackberries and half a banana or whatever you have on hand) and either apricots or dates…pour some almond milk then top it off with granola (trader joe’s lowfat granola with almonds) and crushed whole roasted almonds and flaxseeds and enjoy. It’s so good once you get to the cottage cheese, the tastiest concoction! =) The reason why I pour the almond milk in first is because who likes soggy granola?
I’ve never tried almond milk, only soy and rice. I’d like to see how they compare!
I have to be honest I have never used almond milk, but I have heard that it’s really good. I would probably try it in a baking recipe or in my oatmeal.
Almond milk in my oats!
I just tried Silk and it’s pretty good – I got the original. I use it everywhere I use regular milk – oatmeal and protein shakes mostly though. I am not a fan of drinking milk either. Too thick.
I’ve never tried almond milk. I imagine it would be good in oatmeal.
Oh my gosh, the second I tried Silk Pure Almond, I was hooked — no other brand of almond milk will do for this girl anymore! I even started following them on Twitter just so I could tell them how amazing their almond milk is every time I drink it. Try the vanilla — it tastes like a (natural) vanilla shake!
I have been buying a carton of this stuff a week ever since it came out, and I use it in everything. It’s the first almond milk I’ve tried that actually mixes in well with my coffee, and it is delicious on cereal! Two huge thumbs up!
I love mixing it into cooked oats! Creamy and delicious.
Hi Meghann. I’m not sure I’ve ever commented before, but I really enjoy your blog! I’m not sure what I would use almond milk for, but I suppose I could try it in a smoothie. Or in any other scenario you would ordinarily use milk.
Ha! I was too slow to win and just read your morning post. Oh well. I’m glad I finally commented.
I’ve never tried almond milk, but I imagine it’d be fantastic in oatmeal or cereal! I can’t wait to try it in my favorite kashi cereal…and wait for the cereal to absorb the milk and turn nice and soft with almond-ness.
Never had it but love almonds!
Thanks for the giveaway!
This stuff is wonderful!!! Had a sample at Publix last winter and fell in love! I tell everyone how great it is. One thing I REALLY like is that it stays fresh for such a long time, doesn’t go bad like regular milk. Plus no Cholesterol!!
I love it mixed in my protein drink with a raw egg!
It’s very good in rice pudding.
I love to give the kids at my child care almond chocolate milk for snack.
They love it!
I went to the store to get pudding to make a chocolate pudding pie. I remembered that I had almond silk and am going to make the pie with that to see how it turns out. I made a mistake and accidentally bought one instant pudding and one cook & serve. I’m not 100% sure how I’m going to do this yet but I will figure something out and post another comment when I’m done.
OK…. I read online that instant pudding doesn’t do well without the proteins found in real milk so I made the pudding with skim milk as directed. However, the cook and serve variety of pudding should be fine with half almond silk & half regular milk according to multiple online sources. I successfully prepared the cook & serve pudding this way. I put the cook and serve in the graham cracker pie shell and allowed it to set up in the refrigerator. Then, I spread the instant pudding on top of the cook & serve, allowed the pie to chill in the fridge,’ and last I topped it with whipped cream and Hersey’s milk chocolate shavings. It was delicious. It may bot be as healthy as it could have been if the pudding would have set up with just almond Silk but it’s a good way of lowering calories by substituting some of the milk for Silk. I apologize to all the vegans. If it makes you feel a little better I totally made a fool of myself during this whole process. I opened both packages of pudding and completely forgot which was instant. Luckily when I poured a little milk into a cup and sprinkled a bit of pudding powder from one of the bags into it, it to congealed properly.. That told me that this package was instant pudding mix. If I would have used my brain however, I could have avoided that nonsense all together.
Nevertheless, I managed to make a great dessert. I read that you may get instant pudding to set up properly with almond Silk by reducing the amount of Silk by half the originally called for milk. I may try that next time.
