Provamel Rice

Provamel rice is a dairy milk alternative made from a blend of water and rice with added vitamins and calcium. We use this and soya milk in our house as my husband has problems with dairy products, they make his eczema flare up badly. Although I am able to tolerate dairy products, I often use his rice and soya milks as they are in the fridge...usually when I have run out of cow's milk though! As with all milk alternatives, please don't try this expecting it to be just like using cow's milk. It can be used for cooking and in hot drinks, but you will get a different result.

It is 122 calories for a 250ml portion, has no cholesterol and is low in fat. It should ...  Read the complete review

After being advised that following a dairy free diet may be of some help to my asthma i looked into finding a dairy free alternatives for most of my day to day items. First on the list was obviously milk! I first tried soya milk, which i couldnt palate and still have trouble drinking even now after years! I then looked to rice milk instead. The Packaging: The non-organic version (it is the organic version pictures above) comes in a purple carton and has the provamel logo on top and then a picture of a glass of milk being poured. It is very clear that this is rice milk because not only does it say "rice" but also has a picture of a grain of ...  Read the complete review
