Rice milk is thinner and sweeter than most plant drinks, so this banana smoothie turns out light rather than heavy. A little honey rounds off the green notes.
1
banana ripe
20 g
baby spinach
5 oz
rice milk
½ tsp
honey optional (optional)
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Light and sweet, with banana, a mild rice sweetness and a soft green note.
Rice milk is made from rice and water and tastes naturally sweet, because part of the starch is converted into sugars during production. It is lower in protein and fat than cow's milk or soy drink, which makes it light and very mild.
That mildness suits banana and spinach well. The banana brings creaminess and potassium, the spinach colour and vitamin K. The honey is optional; with a very ripe banana you will hardly need it.
Not with honey. Use agave syrup or skip the sweetener and it is.
During production, enzymes break down part of the rice starch into sugars. Most rice drinks have no added sugar.
It contains no milk, soy or nuts, which is why many allergy sufferers use it. Always check the label for your specific needs.
