Recipe Information

Recipe Created By: mom2camfox

Ingredients

1/2 cup long grain brown rice

4 cups water

2 Tbsp canola oil or other mild oil

1/2 tsp sea salt

4 Tbsp white sugar or other sweetener

2 tsp vanilla extract

4 Tbsp (heaping) rice protein powder

2 Tbsp sugar

1 tsp vanillla

Directions

Add 4 cups water, oil, salt, 4 Tbsp sugar and 2 tsp vanilla to lg saucepan. Add rice and stir occasionally while heating to simmer stage. Cover and simmer 2-4 hrs and let cool. I put it in the fridge overnight.

Once cooled, add in 2 batches to food processor or blender. With each batch include additional 2 cups water, 2 Tbsp sugar (or to your liking–my kiddo drinks it on the sweet side) and 1 tsp vanilla. Blend on puree and strain, repeat with second batch.

This rice milk will settle and needs to be shaken before using. Stores in fridge nicely up to 5 days.

Notes

I use Lundberg brand long grain brown rice.

Nutribiotic Vegan Rice Protein Powder states it is free from cross contamination and boasts 12 grams of protein per heaping Tbsp.

Very yummy smooth rice milk. Makes consistency like low fat milk. You may decrease water for thicker rice milk.

Save strained rice bits for a nice hot cereal!

Substitutions

Although high in protein from the added protein powder, this is an unfortified rice milk. It does not contain any significant calcium or vitamin D and is not nutritionally equivalent to cow’s milk or fortified rice milk.

3 cups cool coffee

1 cup unflavored milk substitute (example: rice milk)

1 Tbsp agave nectar

1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine the cool coffee (day old is fine) with the milk substitute. Stir in agave nectar and vanilla. Serve over ice.

Notes

Recipe Showdown Fundraiser 2008

What could be better than combining the robust flavor of coffee with the mellow flavor of rice/soy milk and the sweetness of agave nectar? This drink is the perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up on a hot summer’s day.

Quote from 5 year-old creator of the recipe: “It gives you energy and it’s yummy!”

Kid Friendly Sangria

Avg. rating 4 from 6 votes.

Recipe Information

Recipe Created By: Kathy Przywara

Ingredients

1 qt lemon or limeade

1 lemon or lime

1 green apple

1 orange or tangerine

1 plum or pluot (optional)

1 peach (optional)

1 nectarine (optional)

1or 2 12 oz bottles/cans ginger ale

Directions

Pit/core all fruit and slice thinly. Place into a large container or pitcher and pour lemon/limeade over. Allow to macerate for 2-4 hrs in the refrigerator. Add ginger ale and serve.

Serve this in a nice pitcher or a punch bowl. The fruit can be served in the cup along with the sangria.

Notes

We make this for special occasions and it’s always a big hit with the kids. My kids love to just take a bowl of the macerated fruit slices to eat too.

Substitutions

Use whatever fruit is fresh and in season. In the winter I usually use some citrus (lemon/orange) plus apple and pear. For the summer, I use stone fruits like peach, plum and nectarine along with the citrus and apple.

We use either Simply Lemonade/Limeade or Odwalla Summertime Limeade. Any brand or variety will work.

We use either 365 Ginger Ale or Reed’s which are both free of corn syrup.

1 1/2 cups dairy-free coffee creamer

Notes

Half of a batch fills two very large glasses.

Yes, this is a frappucino knock off.

Substitutions

You can substitute evaporated milk for the creamer if you can do dairy… You may be able to make it soy free and corn free by using a kosher for Passover whipped topping (Kineret) or coffee creamer (Rich’s or Kineret)
