Advantages: Lactose-free and cholesterol-free, easy to digest

Disadvantages: On odd occasions white lumps found floating in the milk, somewhat off-putting, but the rice milk OK.

I have been diagnosed as lactose intolerant for nearly 2 years now, so finding a milk without lactose was a must. Having tried soya milk and not liking it, I decided to give rice milk (and in particular, Rice Dream with added Calcium) a try.

Rice Dream now comes in a box with a design slightly different to that pictured, however the logo it pretty much the same. On the front it says that it is "deliciously different" - I'm not sure what this means, but I found this to be the nicest alternative to milk that I have tried (I have also tried an oat milk). The front of the packaging also states that it is a non-dairy alternative made from rice, with added calcium (a must for those of us who are lactose intolerant). It has 0% lactose, 0% cholesterol and low saturated fat, so it is also a good alternative for those who are on diets and need to watch what they eat/drink.

According to Rice Dream's website - In one 200ml glass it provides 30% of the EC recommended daily allowance of calcium. It can also be used on cereals and in cooking & baking.

Ingredients include: filtered water, rice (14%), cold-pressed sunflower oil, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, sea salt.

I would definitely recommend Rice Dream rice milk to anyone who is looking for an alternative to cows milk.

Summary: A great alternative to cows milk!
