VANILLA HORCHATA SMOOTHIE

Instead of the regular rice milk used in horchata, I use 2%. I remember drinking horchata in high school all the time, I loved it. I decided to make it into a smoothie using vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, honey, vanilla extract, mint (just for fun), and milk. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.

A Quick and Easy twist on Horchata (Mexican Rice Milk) and Smoothies. It makes a nice creamy drink that is perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat poured over ice on warm day. (I shortcut this recipe by using my recipe for vanilla yogurt. Also equally yummy adjusted fat free/sugar free)

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Use white rice for a classic horchata flavor, or brown rice for a healthier option.
  • Soak the rice overnight. This will help to soften the rice and make it easier to blend.
  • Use filtered or spring water. This will help to ensure that your horchata is smooth and creamy.
  • Add your sweetener of choice. You can use sugar, honey, or agave nectar. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add some spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are all popular spices that can be added to horchata. Experiment to find your favorite combination.
  • Chill before serving. Horchata is best served chilled. You can either refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight, or you can serve it over ice.
