Are you wondering what is Hood Simply Smart Milk? I was. Here’s what I found out:
Hood found an innovative, natural technique called ultra filtration to remove some of the water that makes lowfat milk look and taste watery. The result is simply delicious milk rich in nutrition and taste. Simply Smart: All the taste, without all the fat.
Not bad. Right? Many of us love milk and most of us use it in cooking. But the skim milk we typically drink does not provide the proper consistency that we need in recipes. Secondly, the skim milk, well it tastes like skim milk; milk that has been watered down to be of the desired calorie and fat content. Hood has felt our yearning for the richer tasting milk that we all drank once upon a time; with its Simply Smart milk products. Simply Smart Fat Free, 1% and Fat Free Chocolate are available!
Last month I had the chance to hear from one of the greatest tennis players of all time on the importance of healthy eating and exercise.
Chris Evert with Caroline, Smarty Pants Mama
Chris Evert, the 18 Grand Slam Singles championsh, is the spokesperson of Simply Smart® and she is quite enthusiastic about it! At a event during BlogHer10 conference week, Chris shared ideas on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. She reminded moms that pushing the stroller around the block does not count as exercise. We need to get our heart rate up, we need to sweat. As a mom of 2 growing boys who love milk, she relies of Simply Smart® to give the boys, and her, the taste they crave without the added fat and calories. Makes sense.
Many recipes were shared that evening, including Chris’ favorite of a frozen banana, peanut butter and Simply Smart® fat free milk smoothie. Sounds so good!
Below is a recipe that I tried that evening and LOVED! I hope you do too!
