Rice Milk

Rice Milk

          Oh yum. Rice milk is one of my ultimate favorite non-dairy milk beverage added to my refrigerator. I fell in love with rice milk about a year ago. I learned about this yummy drink through a former friend whom introduced me to this healthy non-dairy product. I decided to head to the nearest grocery store to try out a carton of this oh-so-good rice milk. For a 64 oz size carton of Rice Dream rice milk, I paid about $4 at the store. I also picked up a box of raisin bran cereal too. Since I am a club member at my local Safeway store, I scored a sweet deal since the rice milk was on sale as well.

          I went straight to my kitchen after I got home and bought out a bowl and spoon to eat cereal. I poured the raisin bran over the bowl and added rice milk. I took my spoon and took my first taste of my raisin bran cereal. It tasted very delicious with the Rice Dream rice milk. With the rice milk flavor, it tasted very different from original milk dairy products. I am not a huge fan of regular milk products at all because I don’t like how it tastes. Therefore, I stopped drinking milk a few years ago. The rice milk had this very distinctive, natural, and healthy taste.

          Rice milk is processed from a kind of grain, mainly brown rice. It contains mostly carbohydrates, and usually rice syrup sweetener, which is concentrated from cane juice or natural sweetener. Calcium or vitamin D is usually mixed with these ingredients as well. Rice milk is largely great for vegetarians or for many individuals who are lactose intolerant because rice milk is a good nutritional replacement for milk. Rice milk also works great as coffee creamers or added into ice creams and hot oatmeal for flavoring and taste.  

         The ingredients in rice milk contains:

- Filtered water

- Brown rice

- High oleic safflower oil

- Tricalcium phosphate

- Sea salt

- Vitamin A palmitate

- Vitamin D2

- Vitamin B12

         I highly recommend rice milk to anybody who wants to experience a nutritious, healthy non-dairy beverage drink. Not only does rice milk provide a strong source of rich calcium and vitamins, it is very healthy for your body. If you are lactose intolerant and do not enjoy the taste of regular milk, rice milk is the best substitute. For a carton of rice milk at any organic or grocery store, it ranges about $4. You can also get them in a huge case at Costco for cheap too. Try out this yummy, delicious rice milk. Honestly, it does taste better then milk.
