Your Days Are Busy. Your Protein Doesn’t Have to Be.

At some point in my 30s, I realized mornings are basically a race against the clock. Alarm. Coffee. Shower. Find a clean shirt. Feed the dog. Answer the email I didn’t get to last night. Somehow figure out how to squeeze in the gym. Then, get out the door on time to go train. 

I do not make any elaborate breakfasts. There just isn’t any time for that. That’s why the NEW Silk® Protein Shakes caught my attention when I spotted them at my local Commissary on the Los Angeles Air Force Base.

I’m pretty simple when it comes to this stuff. Flip the bottle around and tell me what I am getting in plain English, so I don’t have to go digging for ingredients and research deeper into what the product contains, which takes up more of my time. 

I saw 30g of complete protein per serving along with 5g of fiber, which is huge. I need about 200g of protein a day, which can be hard to hit that mark everyday so these shakes will do. They help me make sure I reach my goal everyday. And, there’s more inside a carton of Silk than you might think. Along with all that plant-based goodness and delicious taste, you’ll find five essential nutrients your body needs to live and feel your best. That’s five more reasons to love your Silk: Calcium, Vitamins D, E, A & B12!

For most people, a protein shake makes sense after a workout. Toss one in your gym bag, drink it afterward, and move on with your day. However, not every day involves crushing a workout. Sometimes, I am mowing the lawn, working on the car with Rachel for hours, maybe you’re rushing out to your kid’s game, or tackling something around the house...or spending six hours on a “quick” home improvement project. That’s where having something ready to grab from the fridge comes in handy.

No protein powder dust all over the counter, or spilled all over your car like Rachel has done in mine. There also is no shaker bottle you forgot in your truck for three days after using that smells awfully bad that you now have to wash multiple times and figure out how to get the smell out of, and no blender to clean.

Silk® kept the flavor choices simple: choose from delicious Chocolate and Vanilla. If you are already making a Commissary run, there’s also a good reason to grab more than one. Right now, you can save $6 on any 12-pack or $3 on any 4-pack of Silk Protein Shakes. Personally, it's time to stock up because the 12-pack makes the most sense. Put them in the fridge and forget about them until you’re running late, just finished a workout, or open the refrigerator hoping food somehow prepared itself while you were gone.

There are enough things competing for your attention every day. Protein doesn’t need to be one of them. Silk Protein Shakes are an easy option to keep around for any day at any time. Being in your 30s means you may finally have your life together...or at least you have protein in the fridge.
