Review of 'Natura' Enriched Rice Beverage (Vanilla)

Natura -- Enriched Rice Beverage (Vanilla) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: mm! The vanilla force is strong with this one. It's cool, perfectly sweet and light, and refreshing. It has a creamy taste to it and pairs really well with dessert foods and cereals. I love that there's no added sugars, yet it's sweet! Even though it isn't the best in coffees/teas as a creamer, it's so yummy and nutritious, so I'd consider buying it again.

The Natura brand is great for wholesome and pure ingredients (organic, non-GMO). This beverage is a source of healthy fats, is low in sodium, and has no sugar added. I really appreciate the 10% vitamin A and calcium (the two that I'm normally lacking).
