So, tell me…do you follow a certain diet? Kind of stick to a diet-ish plan? Or just eat whatever?

I’m thinking that if you’re following along here, then you’re not super health-conscious because I’m not a health-food blogger by any means. Everything in moderation, right?

I don’t follow a vegan, gluten-free, low carb diet, etc. (ummm hello pasta and desserts!), but I have had to watch my dairy intake lately.

I don’t usually consume dairy on a daily basis, but sometimes when I do, I get an upset stomach. And while it’s not too often, I’ve been thinking about using less dairy and more plant based choices.

And that’s where Silk comes into play. It’s dairy-free and lactose-free and is a great way to get your nutrition. Working on your health can be hard, but feeling healthier doesn’t have to be. Silk’s Progress is Perfection campaign fights the idea that ‘extreme’ is the only way to leading a healthier life.

And by using less dairy and more plants, Silk is great for creating lightened-up versions of your favorite recipes to help with small victories on your path to a better you. Want to learn more about Silk? Head over to this page and Walmart to find more information.

So when I was at Walmart last week, I picked up Silk Unsweetened Almondmilk and Silk Plain Almond Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative. I love the smooth and creamy taste of these products and knew it would be a star component in some tasty recipes.

I don’t know about you, but mashed potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes. It’s warm, hearty, comforting and just all-around delicious. So when I was able to use Silk Unsweetened Almondmilk to make this recipe, I knew I had a meal-time winner.

Now, it may sound strange to use no milk, butter or cream in these Dairy-Free Garlic Mashed Potatoes, but trust me, you’ll never miss it! The hubster loved these (in fact, he ate most of them himself!) and that’s saying a lot.

The hint of garlic and the Silk Unsweetened Almondmilk give these potatoes the creamy texture and flavor that is out-of-this-world delicious.

 And like most of my recipes, this dish was a breeze to whip up. The hardest part was peeling the potatoes. But, if you’re like me, you can get your husband to do the hard part. After the potatoes are peeled and quartered, add them to a large pot and cover with  water. Bring the potatoes to a boil, then lower the heat and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20-25 minutes.

After the potatoes are ready, drain the water and then add the Silk Unsweetened Almondmilk and start mashing. I used an electric hand mixer for ease, but feel free to use a potato masher. Add about 1/2 cup of the almondmilk at a time to reach your desired consistency.

When the potatoes are whipped, add in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper and taste. If needed, add more seasoning. I used garlic powder for overall ease in this recipe. However, if you have more time, you could roast your own garlic, add in garlic cloves, or even minced garlic. But, since I’m all about the easy recipes, garlic powder was my seasoning of choice.

And that’s it! These Dairy-Free Garlic Mashed Potatoes are packed with flavor, extra creamy, and taste like pure comfort food. I guarantee you’ll never miss the dairy in this delicious side dish!
