Traditionally no, horchata is not healthy as it's a sweet milk drink that's high in calories, sugar, and fat. But horchata can be made healthy, with just a few simple swaps! Our vegan horchata recipe is a much healthier option, as it is lower in calories, has less added sugar (only 5 grams per serving) and no refined sugar, and has less saturated fat since we're using a plant based milk!
