About this smoothie

Rice milk is one of the mildest plant drinks, and it is often chosen by people who avoid dairy, soy or nuts. It is thinner than oat or cow milk and tastes slightly sweet on its own, so it pairs well with fresh fruit. The apple brings crisp freshness and fibre, and half a banana makes the drink creamier.

This simple smoothie suits breakfast, a school or office snack, or anyone who prefers subtle flavours. Because rice milk is naturally sweet, choose the unsweetened kind.

Bartender tips

  • A pinch of cinnamon suits apple and rice milk very well.
  • For a thicker drink, use a frozen banana.

Variations

Apple pie
Add a pinch of cinnamon, a tiny pinch of nutmeg and 1 tbsp rolled oats.
