So Good Review & Giveaway

November 25, 2010 By Sheri

Think this is a good post? Share it:

I’ve seen So Good products before in the grocery store but was always hesitant to try them. We normally go shopping on a budget, so the extra money (any extra money) is usually not spent on something we aren’t sure we will like.

I never knew what to think about soy products before. Coming from a girl who grew up in the “butter and salt on everything” generation, I am slow on the uptake when it comes to stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new food.

I recently had the chance to try out some So Good products for myself. I know you’ve seen these items on store shelves. They make a variety of beverages and ice creams (frozen desserts), and they are just delicious.

I found out that they had a new drink out, So Good Light Vanilla. It has 1/2 the fat of their regular Vanilla and lots of flavour. I love vanilla milkshakes, and drinking this, reminds me of drinking a liquid vanilla milkshake. In fact, it would be the perfect substitute for milk if ever making a shake as it is already flavoured with natural vanilla flavour.

I normally drink skim milk, so I compared their Light Vanilla to my skim milk in terms of nutritional value. The calories were exactly the same although So Good is creamier in texture.

There were 2 grams more of fat in the So Good, but less sodium and So Good also contains Omega 3 & 6 where my skim milk did not. The big difference was in the vitamin and minerals.

Both beverages contained Vitamin A (10%), Calcium (30%) and Vitamin D (45%), then the nutritional information for my skim milk ended there.

So Good, however, went on with their vitamins and minerals and also includes Vitamin C (4%), Iron (8%), Thiamine (8%), Riboflavin (25%), Niacin (8%), Vitamin B6 (6%), Folic Acid (6%), Vitamin B12 (50%), Pantothenate (15%), Phosphorous (25%), Magnesium (10%) and Zinc (10%). All of that in a one cup serving.

I’m all for fitting in as much nutrients in my meal and this is a great way to get them in. And did I mention, this drink tastes like a vanilla milkshake? I’ve been craving vanilla milkshakes lately and now I can enjoy the taste of one without worrying about my hips or my wallet.

Actually, as I write this, I’m thinking about a big glass of So Good Light Vanilla. There are a couple of coupons out there to try out So Good.
