Rice Milk

Rice milk is made from water and milled white or brown rice. Among the nondairy milk, rice milk is the least allergenic. This makes it a safe option for those who have dairy, gluten, soy, or nut allergies or intolerances.

Rice milk has a mild flavor and is naturally sweet. It has a slightly watery consistency and is delicious on its own, in smoothies, as well as in desserts and with oatmeal. Rice milk has 130–140 calories, 2–3 grams of fat, 1 gram of protein, and 27–38 grams of carbs per cup (240 ml). Rice milk has a similar calorie count as cow's milk, but nearly double the number of carbs. It also has a lower protein and fat content. Rice milk has the highest carbs of all the non-dairy milk options on this list, around three times as many as the others. Rice milk has a high glycemic index (GI) of 79–92, meaning that it is quickly absorbed in the gut and raises blood sugar levels. As a result, it's likely that it's not the best option for diabetics.
