Cinnamon Horchata Milkshake

0 · Oct 13, 2020 · Stephanie · 13 Comments

Cinnamon Horchata Milkshake - HelloGlow.co

Open up our refrigerator and you’ll find just about every kind of milk – whole, 2%, almond, rice and coconut milk. It’s crazy! Everyone has a different preference and for some reason I keep buying them all. My pediatrician gives me a mini lecture every visit because the kids don’t drink much cow’s milk.

I’m sure there are a bazillion opinions on this, but I’m lactose intolerant so I fully admit I’m biased. I grew up not drinking cow’s milk (neither of my parents could tolerate it either) and somehow managed to survive. The doctor’s response? “Well, I hope you’ll be okay.” Um, so far so good!

So for now, our fridge is stocked with a million different milk options. Whatever kind you want with your Golden Grahams, we’ve got it. Occasionally we get crazy and combine the milks (mainly because I never know what to do with open cans of coconut milk other than make fruit popsicles).

And guess what, rice milk horchata combined with coconut milk makes a super yummy milkshake! Anytime you can call a drink a “milkshake” it’s a hit with the kids, so this recipe has been in heavy rotation as of late.

This cinnamon horchata milkshake is perfect for vegan or dairy-free diets. And while we love serving it ice cold (because milkshake!), you could modify the recipe for a cozier, fall-worthy warm drink.

Top with a cinnamon stick and it will look super festive, too! Scroll down to get the easy recipe:

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with not drinking cow’s milk (whether you’re lactose intolerant or not). It’s made for baby COWS, not humans. You’d think a doctor would understand that 😉 We’re one of the only species that drinks milk beyond infancy, and also one of the only species that drinks another animal’s milk (kitties don’t count cuz they’re lactose intolerant too :p).

    Anyway, hah, your recipe sounds tasty. Hopefully I can find me some almond extract, though I think I’m probably out.

    I am by no means an expert, but considering that something like 75% of the world’s population is lactose intolerant, I think that your kids are going to be just fine if they don’t drink cow’s milk. Anyway, this sounds delicious and I’ll definitely need to pick up some things to make this soon!

    This recipe looks great! Here in Central America, most people love their horchata. My little girl is nearing 2 years old, and until I recently weaned her, she hadn’t had milk. She now drinks cow’s milk, mostly because we can’t afford the other types. So far, so good!

    Cow’s milk is for their calves, not for humans. Thanks for a great recipe!

    There are so many options, other than just alternative milks, for people with lactose intolerance. I swear my mom once told me her family kept a nanny goat for one ofthe kids that couldn’t drink cow’s milk. I personally use lactose free milk that I buy in the grocery store. The name brand is made by the same company that makes the pills and chewable tablets for when nothing but cheese cake or ice cream will do! Ask personally, there are at least three types of alternative milks (almond, cashew, and soy) that my body refuses to have any part in. And trying to force it on my body really doesn’t work well, no matter how much I want the nut ones. Strangely enough, I can eat peanuts and walnuts all day long, if I wanted to. But alas, almonds, cashews and pecans (which so far give me no issues) are the ones I want!! And since rice and coconut milks have yet to bother me, I guess I’ll be buying some new items on my next grocery store run!
