Silk Cashew Milk (Unsweetened)



So I'm starting my journey to find some shit to put in my coffee that is not milk. Why? Idk, they sayin' milk isn't good for you? Like it has hormones and shit. And is mostly sugar or whatever. I am easily swayed. I am dumb and I am tired, so. Sell to me! 

I was just reading something the other day. And this was...not on a legit site. I do not know what a "legit" site is, but it wasn't like a WebMD sort of set-up. It was like a forum at best, and someone had posted that humans don't even need to drink milk. It just used to be a supplement for diets back in war days or something? Like soldiers were hungry and one of the safest things to send them was condensed milk. And something something the dairy industry kept this campaign up to keep selling to people that milk was necessary? Like they had a lot of milk leftover and needed to sell it?? Girl idk I skim (hah...) almost everything I read, but whatever it was I absorbed, made sense. I concluded that milk is not, like, a thing our body needs? We def need Vitamin D and Calcium and shit, but you can get that from spinach (which i like now despite trauma from my childhood), and other shit. Legumes and shit idk. Also milk has all sorts of hormones? I am already a complete fucking mess, I don't need additional hormones cracking me up further. 

So you're like, okay girl...just don't drink milk. BUT THEN WHAT WILL I PUT IN MY COFFEE?! Sigh, I was supposed to be giving up coffee due to self-diagnosed adrenal fatigue (caffeine literally does not affect me anymore omfg), but I am like, pretty deep into an addiction ahha. It's so cute every time I try to give up coffee and then have a total and complete breakdown five minutes in and start telling myself Inspirational Instagram Quote Pictures like LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT HAVE A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE or whatever dumb shit some fake deep loser is posting that probably actually originated from Linda on Bob's Burgers. But I'm fake deep, too. I be like YAASSS U RIGHT! LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT JUST GIVE IN TO MY ADDICTIONS AND SAY FUCK! ALL!! *maniacal laughter until i wake up chained to a bed in a mental ward* *or strapped* *chained is a bit extreme* *but sexier ;)* *:(*

Anyway, I'm glad I'm not addicted to heroin, or those shows where people go shopping for homes in ~exotic~ areas. The houses will be mad nice but some potato-faced idiot will be like "kmdimeke oe The poooool is toooo smalllllllllll D:" Like, bye, you're living right on the beach. Goooooo...toooooo...thhhhhhheeee...beach?!?!?! I can't deal with those shows but it would be typical of me to like be addicted to watching them so I'm glad I'm not but tbh that's probably gonna be my thirties sigh kill me. I can't believe I've only been alive for twenty-six years. I am so...tired. "Life is too short" is complete fucking bullshit, but okay??? Like stop saying that?? haha *cries*

Wow what was this post even initially about? Something milk something. Oh okay I want to give up milk but still need something to put in my coffee because serious addiction. I was at CVS the other day (which...I hate CVS but I have an ExtraCare card, sigh) and I saw some Silk options. I see CVS tryna get some little health food options. Their selection so far...leaves much to be desired. At least at the CVS I typically frequent. But they had some alternative milk options, which I found to be weird. There were like a lot. I focused on Silk, tho, because I'm familiar with the brand. I actually think I've heard negative things about Silk. Or at least soy milk. There were some soy milk options, but I have these ideas about soy, so I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible. But I do remember drinking Silk Soy Vanilla when I was younger and liking it, so I was like okay maybe the other options are good. 

I got Cashew (Unsweetened) and primarily put it in my coffee. It's not thick enough to give my coffee the...exact creaminess I am looking for. I don't like actual cream, it's too thick and gross. But I do like to have a sort of creaminess added. Milk is actually too thin? It's like I can't find a happy medium. Maybe I should try half and half? But that shit looks so gross. Anyway, cashew milk is not it. Cashew milk is really thin, but also thick? Idk it's weird to explain, but it was disgusting when I ate it with my cereal. I was like ooohhhh...noooo. It's alright in my coffee. I remember I put almond milk in my coffee once and wanted to die and cry at how gross that was. Cashew was amazing compared to that. But meh overall. You know what I might like? Coconut milk. I've yet to try that, so that's next. Watch that be gross, too. I wonder if I should get flavored or regular. Sigh these shits aren't cheap for me to be doing all these taste tests lol. Imma see if I can finagle some way to try some form of coconut milk for free just to see what it's serving the girls. Maybe it'll be from Silk, but likely from some indie ass company. Idc, as long as I can get free shit. Why am I so transparent and non-humble and ugly and demonic? Idk I'm American.
