Nutricost Organic Rice Protein Powder (5 LB) - Gluten-Free, GMO-Free (from Brown Rice)

Glad to see it’s organic so hopefully no glyphosates. Blends up easily with a shaker ball and flavor not bad however I do add cocoa and agave. Good source of protein!

If you are looking for a great cheap Rice Protein this is the one. The taste isn't great but if you mix another protein with flavor it mixes great as a added protein. It's terrific for stomach problems like Chrohns and IBS has a lot of fiber and iron so it keeps you pooping without having watery diarrhea and gas. Definitely my go to rice protein.

As a vegan with IBS it has been a challenge to find protein powder. There are so many additives and flavors, and most of the plant proteins like pea proteins are high FODMAP which is terrible for IBS. Also it was affordable unlike pumpkin or hemp proteins. While rice protein is not considered a complete protein, you can easily take a lyesine pill to make it a complete protein; rice protein ls have lyesine just not enough per serving. I personally love this because it has little to no taste. I could drink it in a glass of water and barely notice it, or add it to my favorite smoothie or yogurt or oatmeal. It also does not have a strong smell at all. It doesn't eat up all your calories for the day so if you are like me and just relatively sedentary at a desk job trying to meet the protein recommendations, it is perfect. If you are trying to bulk up, this provides the protein not the calories. It is a huge container with a lot of empty space. I don't know if that is necessary but it does make storage difficult. Yes, you definitely get a lot of value for your money, but there is no reason for the container to be so large. Overall a great product, affordable by comparison, lasts a whole month, easy to mix in, and won't make you pack on the weight just to meet your protein goals.

Taste terrible but it's a good protein powder besides that. I have to mix it with something to cover up the taste. Trying to avoid whey proteins.

Every protein powder I've ever used had the capacity to be put in a container with liquid, shaken and consumed with little fuss and tolerably so from a taste standpoint (some better than others, obviously).. This is my first foray into pea protein and I learned immediately that I was going to have to get creative if I'm going to get through this canister. There will be no quick shake and drink due to the insufferable taste but, that said, just putting it in the blender with a banana or two made it surprisingly drinkable.. thought it would take a lot more masking to get this stuff down.. My go to for the past few days has been adding it to a banana, a granny smith apple and a mandarin orange with almond milk. It's actually rather delightful. So, If you have the time and don't mind giving up the quick shaker method, this stuff may be worth it for you. One star off for the stated Con, four stars for what I consider the Pros, straightforward plant protein and no added fake flavors with the option to make that aspect your own. Going to try peanut butter, etc. and I know I'm simply describing a smoothie but I just want to drive home the point for those who are used to shake and consume powders on the go. Would recommend and will buy again.

The flavor isn't the best, but I kind of like that because that means you don't have all the artificial flavorings/ingredients. The amount of protein per serving is much higher than other brands. I'm definitely buying it again.

switching to mostly plant protein due to several benefits of plant protein, look it up and its 25 to 30 percent cheaper then wpi when combined with pea protein...price it out yourself. I love the taste as its unflavored so i can mix in anything. Those complaining about flavor....grow up. Would you rather have all the fillers, gums, fake sugars?. Make it any flavor you want. Its not ice cream. it mixes well in any liquid even without a blender and that is great for a quick 1 minute on the go meal.

Brown rice proteins are notorious for containing arsenic as a result of of the rice absorbing it from the soil. Nutricost claims to third-party test for heavy metals such as arsenic leading you to think their products are safe. I contacted them over a month ago about receiving the Certificate of Analysis (COA) from the third-party tester for this brown rice protein powder. They continue to string me along and say they'll send it over, but they never do. This leads me to believe their products contain unsafe levels of toxins and heavy metals. What are they hiding? Supremely disappointed in Nutricost. Buy and consume at your own risk!
