The 40th anniversary of Earth Day is right around the corner on April 22nd and for Green Giant, it’s all about trying to live up to the name by working every day to care for the land, the people who grow our vegetables and the families who share our vegetables at their tables. Throughout its century-long history, Green Giant has worked to reduce its environmental footprint through many measures including:

• Reducing the amount of land and water needed to grow vegetables

• Packing vegetables in smaller, lighter cans, so it takes less fuel to deliver them to supermarket shelves

• Utilizing traditional seed breeding methods over the last 35 years to double the amount of sweet corn grown on an acre of land

• Teaming up with growers to install a more efficient irrigation system that can reduce water use by more than a million gallons a year;

• Switching to more earth-friendly paperboard to package frozen vegetables, saving approximately 54,000 trees annually in the process.

Green Giant is now celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day by giving $200,000 to The Nature Conservancy to help fund an innovative project that will encourage greener farming practices to repair and protect a natural treasure – the Root River, one of Minnesota´s (home to Green Giant) best trout streams. Learn more about Green Giant´s sustainability program or make a donation to The Nature Conservancy, visit HERE during the month of April.

Personally, I didn’t realize that Green Giant took all these “green” steps and I think that’s great. I’ve always loved Green Giant products and this makes me like them all the more. And I love that they are making such a generous donation to The Nature Conservancy, they are such a worthy cause, I’ve donated to them myself several times over the last few years.

I got the opportunity to try out Silk Pure Almond Milk and I was not disappointed! I have to admit, I am not a big milk person, but I do like Silk’s products and I LOVE almonds. Almonds have a lot of great healthy benefits, so I was anxious to try this milk. I tried the Silk Pure Almond Vanilla and I really enjoyed it. It was rich and creamy with no aftertaste. I wondered if it would have a chalky taste, but it was as smooth as could be. For me, I would drink this as a special treat.

About Silk Pure Almond:

Each glass provides an excellent source of natural antioxidants, and as much calcium and vitamin D as dairy milk, with absolutely no cholesterol, saturated fat, dairy or soy. A serving of Silk Pure Almond Original almondmilk is only 60 calories & Vanilla is just 90 calories.

What makes almondmilk Silk Pure Almond so healthy? For starters, it’s the almonds. Almonds are recognized by health professionals as a nutritious addition to a healthy diet. A serving of almonds provides an excellent source of vitamin E (a natural antioxidant), and a good source of protein and fiber. In fact, almonds are higher in protein and fiber than any other tree nut. Plus, they’re naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free. Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that has been studied for its role in supporting normal heart and brain function, as well as promoting a healthy complexion. Each serving of Silk Pure Almond provides 50% of the recommended daily value of this essential nutrient.
