Rice Protein Powder SG
NZProtein's Rice Protein is a very hypoallergenic plant based protein powder that makes an excellent alternative for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone with a sensitive stomach - whether lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy.
It's extracted from brown rice using enzymes which separate the protein from the fats and carbohydrates.
This results in a protein powder that has an excellent amino acid profile and low carbohydrates and fat. In fact, it contains all of the essential amino acids and is a complete source of protein.
Rice protein, being plant based, is a slower digesting protein powder than the ever popular whey. Despite this, studies have found no detectable differences in results from whey vs rice protein supplementation after resistance training, indicating that rice is a very good source of protein.

Some grainy-ness, but easier to drink than rice protein. |

No taste, mixes well with hot meals and liquids.
Make sure to mix it with a lot of water, because if you mix it with too little water, it will taste bitter. But if you mix it with a lot of water, it will taste very mild and almost like nothing. It mixes well in water if you stir it a bit.
Taste is ok and easily dissolves in water.!
NZPROTEIN REPLY: we would like to note that this product is for those who cant have any of our other proteins due to allergies or other intolerances so if you are used to whey or any of our better tasting proteins we would definitely suggest getting a sample first.
Would definitely buy again
If you are used to having flavored powders that you just add to milk, you might be in for a bit of a surprise. But once you find what it works with, it is fantastic - it might take some experimenting, so be patient!
I find it to be a really light shake without the heavy feeling. I enjoy having it with a 40g scoop of rice protein, 100g of frozen berries, about 250ml of cold water, and 50g of banana - super refreshing and hydrating. Give it a good go before passing judgement :)
Best protein thus far. Prefer this to pea protein as it does not have much sediment that collects at the bottom. Blends well in nutribullet w just water. Tried the flavoured salted caramel based on other reviews. Recommend - is not overly sweet like other brands.
