With entire supermarket isles dedicated to “free from” foods the days of restrictive choice for
intolerance suffers look increasingly numbered. This month we review milk alternatives, all bost to taste great and worthy substitutes to Milk. But how good do they actually taste?

80% of people saying they would use it again.
Great value for money at £0.99 for 1 litre!

 

Both the Oat and the Soya alternatives scored badly on taste, smell and consistency. The Oat supreme was disappointing as when added to hot water it separated and congealed.

 

If you like the sound of  rice milk as an alternative to cows milk then why not try our recipe for a healthy and delicious smoothie.

  

 

• 1 cup of  rice milk
• 1 tablespoon of carob  (chocolate alternative)
• Handful of frozen or fresh berries (optional if using carob).
• Honey as sweetener.
• Blend in a food processor
• Pour into a glass and enjoy

 

Look out for the return of the taste test in April’s newsletter, where we will be reviewing gluten, wheat and dairy free cookies, someones got to do it!
