How come Rice Dream is is the fridge and has a short expiration date?

[morkus64]

And i made the whole title without using the word I can never spell. (It starts with a re- and ends with an -ated) 🙂

Edit: Now with time-wasting poll!

 

[Bob151]

not soy?

 

[morkus64]

Nah, soy is nasty... rice is where it's at!

 

[EGGO]

I just heard about Rice Dream on Yakitate. That's my nef of the month.

 

[FoBoT]

what is it

 

[morkus64]

it's rice milk... delicious rice milk (it tastes a lot like milk, a little sweeter, and doesn't make me feel sick... also healthier)

 

[AStar617]

Dude, just drink Lactaid. Milk - lactose = normalcy for you 😉

 

[Green Man]

Don't know what the deal is.
Rice Dream vanilla enriched is where it's at.
no need to refrigerate until it's open.

Why drink milk when soy milk is more nutritious? Yes, milk contains calcium, but it also has much more fat than soy milk. There really is no benefit to drinking milk when there are much better substitutes out there.

My gf is intolerant. I've tried them all and will not agree that they taste "the same" or "better"... she's moving in, and Lactaid is the compromise that works.

Plus, "rice dream and cookies" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. 😛

I'm lactose intolerant, even with lactaid I can't drink normal milk. I've had a similar reaction to Soy milk, so I tried Rice Dream as well as some type of Almond milk. Rice and Almond give me no problems, but I find them to taste kind of "thin", and don't drink milk anymore. I miss having something as yummy as vanilla Soy Milk, but I hate having gas 🙁

 

[morkus64]

I'm not actually lactose intolerant... I'm fine with all sorts of other things with lactose, i just find milk disgusting... but rice milk is tasty!

 

[mchammer]

Soy milk + cereal = wootwootwootwoot

 

[morkus64]

Added a poll for you all

 

[BoomerD]

I don't LIKE milk, but use 2% on my cereal. MY wife is lactose intolerant, and we've been thru most of the "alternative milk's " available, and she prefers the taste of Lactaid, can tolerate it with only a little gas...<pheeew> and I can use it in a pinch...
Soy milk SUX, and rice dream tasted unpleasant to me...but then again, flavored milk for cereal seems odd anyway...and had an odd "feel' when I drank it. Probably won't try it again...They can call whatever chemical conglomeration they want "MILK", but that doesn't make it milk...

Please explain to me how it is more nutritious..........

I'm actaully the same way... I drink rice dream plain, but use 2% on my cereal. Partly taste, partly price

Don't know about soy milk, but rice dream versus 2%:

Per cup:

2%.......................................................Rice Dream

Sat. Fat: 3g (a terrible fat!)....................Sat Fat: 0g
................................................................Poly Unsat: .5g (the best fat for you)
................................................................Mono Unsat (a decent fat)

Cholestorol: 20mg................................0mg
Sodium: 125mg....................................80mg

Carb: 12g............................................Carb: 23g
Sugar: 12g.............................................Sugar: 10g

Protein: 8g..........................................Protein: 1g

Vitamin A: 10%...................................10%
Vitamin C: 4%.....................................0%
Calcium: 30%.....................................30%

I think 2% looks healthier than that Rice Dream.. 8g protein vs 1g protein per CUP.. And, there's always 1% or skim milk which has even less fat.

 

[CKent]

Skim milk ftw. I've even started using it in my coffee, though I miss half & half... fscking diet...

Depends on how you look at protein... a lot of people eat too much protein, which can damamge your liver and actually cause loss of bone density. The more important factor, i think, is fat. Milk has more bad fat than rice milk has total, and most of the fat in rice milk is actually pretty good for you (poly and monounsaturated fats can be good for your heart). The B12 is a plus too.

And the nutritional value of spinach is different than that of steak... No sense comparing two entirely different consumables though.

You're showing your bias, btw, in using 2% milk for the comparison.

I am biased, but 2% is what most people drink. Just look at the poll (or any other poll... they all say 2% is most consumed)
