Our Rice Pudding Smoothie Recipe is a delightful and refreshing beverage to blend up anytime! At our house we all love rice pudding and our love of it is what inspired todays recipe. It’s a spin on the classic pudding dish because I took the same ingredients to the blender. . . rice, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, rice milk, and ice to make our Rice Pudding Smoothie. You might think it’s strange–a rice smoothie and rice milk smoothie however we’re pretty sure it’ll be your family’s new favorite!
Bring the family together with our Rice Pudding Smoothie Recipe!
Rice Pudding Smoothie is sooo refreshing during these hot and fantastic summer months! I don’t know many people who don’t absolutely love rice pudding. This is such a fun twist to rice pudding that you have got to try.
When I was a live in nanny, the dad would make rice pudding for all of us. It was such a fun way for us to bond at night, after a long day of everyone being out of the house. Family time is the most important thing to me!
I love to bond and connect over a good smoothie, treat, or meal!
What’s the difference between a smoothie & a shake
Most people love smoothies and shakes, some don’t really know the differences between them because after all the both cold and refreshing, drinkable, and delicious!
• In my opinion it all comes down to ice cream. . . yes, it’s true!
• Smoothies do not have ice cream, candy bars, cookies or pies in them. Smoothies are filled with healthy for you ingredients like fruit and veggies and healthier forms of protein and dairy.
• Don’t get me wrong. . . I enjoy them both as probably most of you do too!
• I just enjoy smoothies on a more regular basis and shakes wellllll they’re a more special occasion or dessert kind of treat.
Smoothie 101
- Invest in a heavy duty blender; I’ve used a Blend Tec for well over a decade now and I love it! It’s powerful enough to blend frozen fruit and vegetables smooth, smooth, smooth!
- I prefer using frozen fruits and vegetables in my smoothies so they have a thicker consistency.
- Freeze extra fruits and vegetables as they are just beginning to turn over-ripe; I use gallon plastic zip top freezer bags to toss them in.
- Freeze fresh produce to use later- I find they last just fine for up to 4 weeks. ie: spinach or mixed salad greens, baby carrots, cucumbers, banana’s broken into four pieces, sliced/cored apples and pears, extra berries, peeled/segmented oranges and clementines, grapes, and the list goes on!
- Extra nutrient add in’s are always good try adding: vanilla and chocolate protein powders, dry oats, a small handful of nuts, peanut butter, flavored yogurt or kefir, and more.
Super food add in’s: gogi berries, coconut oil, avocado, acai or cacoa powder, chia or hemp or flax seeds, etc!

I’ve never heard that cooked rice could make into a smoothie! It really sounds weird to me but also makes me super curious! I have to try it soon!! Thanks for your sharing.
Btw, I also love bonding my family over a hearty meal <3
I made it with whole milk and a little brown sugar. Delicious
Wonderful!! I like your adaptations–I’ll try it. We’re so happy you loved it 🙂 ~Ruthie
Interesting recipe! I just got a Vitamix so I am scouting for great recipes.
I chuckled when I read that you have had your Blend Tec for well over a century 😅 You probably meant decade 😉
