Rice Milk Brands
Rice Dream is a brand that sells a few different Rice Milk products. Here are a few to check out!
Rice Dream
Enriched Unsweetened
Rice Dream is one of the most prolific rice milk brands. The Enriched Unsweetened Rice Drink has a gentle sweetness (without sugar) and contains a good variety of added nutrients. Because of the canola oil, we’d probably use this for cooking more than for drinking.
Ingredients: Organic Rice Base (Filtered Water, Organic Rice), Organic Expeller Pressed Canola Oil And/Or Organic Safflower Oil And/Or Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Tapioca Starch, Tricalcium Phosphate, Carrageenan, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Xanthan Gum, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D2, Vitamin B12.
Horchata
Folks say this tastes like authentic Mexican horchata. It’s deliciously cinnamony but very high in sugar (25 grams in one cup). Try it in coffee.
Ingredients: Filtered Water, Partially Milled Brown Rice, Evaporated Cane Syrup, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil And/Or Safflower Oil And/Or Sunflower Oil, Brown Rice Flour, Natural Flavors, Spices (Includes Cinnamon), Carrageenan.
