I decided to make this today, it definetely is an all day or night process to get the best flavor. I think it is a pretty good starter recipe, I'm definetely going to tinker with the measurements a bit more. It is very good though. What I did was blend vanilla and ground cinnamon with the rice and water (it doesn't float if you do it this way). I then let it sit all day in the fridge, but every few hours I would pull it out and give it a few pulses in the blender, you get the most out of your rice. Overall it is a good recipe, some people prefer sweeter or less sweeter (like me), and luckily this recipe is pretty forgiving because you can always add more water if it's too sweet. The color is a little darker than what I grew up on, but I think it's because my vanilla extract was brown. Thanks for this recipe.

I made these kabobs tonight and let me just say these were AWESOME! My husband and I both loved them and will definetely make again. I didn't change anything and it was perfect, I had plenty of marinade left to brush on the meat and veggies, it was the perfect amount for two people. Thank you so much for this recipe.

I made this because out of shear coincidence I had all of theingredients on hand, while I wasn't sure how the apples would taste (since their not usually used in smoothies) I made it anyway and to my surprise it wasn't bad.The reason I gave it 3 stars is because of the texture, it was gritty (it's the apples) I like my smoothies a bit creamier so I added about 2Tbs of vanilla yogurt. It's an ok recipe, but I think i'll stick to berries instead.
