Some days I want a smoothie that is creamy and milky. Vegans have the options of using many different milk options: soy milk, rice milk, and almond milk to name a few. Soy milk is a very popular choice, but with concerns about soy and estrogen, I like to use fortified rice milk with my smoothies.

Here’s a delicious creamy smoothie that I love on a hot summer afternoon.

• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• 1 banana
• 1 cup rice milk

Blend this altogether and pour into a fun, summer glass. Then go relax in the shade and drink to your health!
