Advantages: Best Priced Rice Milk

Disadvantages: High in calories- when you are used to skimmed milks

I am intolerant to both lactose and soya and Provamel Organic Rice milk is my favourite non dairy alternative- it isn't my first choice because it tastes any different to the other rice milks I have tried, or because it is Organic, but mainly because it is 96p for a one litre carton in Sainsbury's and that is 41p cheaper than any of the alternatives- that adds up to a lot of money over the week. Provamel rice milk mainly consists of water, rice and sunflower oil. It can be drunk cold, added to cereal or used in hot drinks, (as long as you allow the water to cool before adding it). It is 122 calories for a 250ml portion, has no cholesterol and is low in fat. It should never be given as an alternative main milk source to children of 3 years old or younger- unless under the direction of their doctor. It is important that you remember to shake the container before every use as it separates slightly. If you are going to take it out as you need to use at someone else's house or in a restaurant - you will need to keep it in a flask.

Summary: Dairy free, lactose free, nut free and low in fat
