Rice Milk
Rice milk has a slightly sweet flavor, and one serving has just 80
calories.
Made from brown rice, filtered water, and a small amount of brown rice sweetener, rice milk
has a light, slightly sweet flavor that substitutes well for low-fat or fat-free milk. Rice
milk is 100 percent lactose free and suitable for those with dairy sensitivities.
Varieties
Rice milk is available in plain and flavored varieties, and in low-fat, fat-free, and
fortified versions.
Buying and storing tips
Look for rice milk in cartons, either on the shelves or in the refrigerated section of most
health food stores and grocery stores. Rice milk will keep for 7 to 10 days; refrigerate after
opening. For an extended shelf life and optimal taste, refrigerate overnight before
opening.
Availability
Rice milk is available year-round.
Preparation, uses, and tips
In addition to drinking it straight from a glass, rice milk can be poured on breakfast
cereals or puréed with frozen berries or bananas for a refreshing smoothie.
