Brown Rice Protein
4I have only used this Brown Rice Protein for baking, so far (I mix it with gluten-free flour). It seems a good product, and the powder is very fine, which is an advantage.

undrinkable
1The Brown Rice Protein completely undrinkable in my opinion. I had to throw mine straight in the bin unfortunately.

Brown Rice Protein
4This brown rice protein is an excellent accompaniment to a plant based diet. It's mainly aimed for those that don't eat dairy or eggs and are weary about taking soy protein because of it's estrogenic properties. One of the good things about this protein is that it doesn't come with soy or sunflower lecithin, it's just pure protein, nothing added or taken away. The taste is awful first time you try it, the only way to explain it is like drinking wet sand. It's got a chalky aftertaste that can leave your mouth feeling very dry. The best way to drink it I've found is with rice milk and vanilla powder, even still it's by no means enjoyable, almond milk works quite well also as far as milks go. I've noticed my gains are less than whey isolate / concentrate on this powder, probably because of it's incomplete amino acid profile. Whilst saying that there's only a small difference, which highlights that the protein is effective post workout. It's really the best choice out there for vegans, take it from me who has tried hideous products like sunwarrior warrior blend, this is the best value protein on the market for those with an aversion to dairy and eggs. It's clean, it is not tasty, but if I had a choice between this and Pea protein isolate in terms of taste I'd choose this 1000 times over.

Not great
3The Brown Rice Protein really is not palatable at all. I can't imagine it in a shake, I even tried baking it in something and the rough taste still comes through.

4I missed two important facts from my previous review. A lot of us do not want flavour. We want to add it to foods, so if it tasted of banana or whatever that would not be a positive. Also, I don't want sugar or sweeteners added. I'm trying to reduce carbs. Even artificial sweeteners are a bad idea: there is evidence that simply experiencing a sweet taste primes the body to secrete insulin and lay down fat.

5Being lactose intolerant and unable to digest a lot of foods this Brown Rice Protein has been a good help for my intake of protein. OK taste isn't great but when do you take protein shakes for flavour anyway. Goes Well With:any carb powders

grim taste but does job perfectl
4The taste of the Brown Rice Protein is foul, a bit like burnt pork scratching, but then I don't really care about taste. I just have it with a small amount of water, it mixes well and it's a great, clean protein.

brown rice protein -well what do you expect?
4I don't understand the negative reviews. It's unflavoured rice protein. It tastes of rice. In fact it tastes of very little. As expected surely. When mixed it does not stay suspended for long. It settles out, so you have to re-shake it immediately before drinking. This is why I've given it 2 stars for this factor, but I don't view it as at all important. I've not had any digestive problems either. So if you want a good balance of amino acids from a non-dairy source, without a lot of associated carbs (it's 80% protein and only 3% carbs) this is a good product.Goes Well With:You can enrich pasta sauces with rice protein to keep you fuller for longer.

Works for me
4I am intolerant to dairy and gluten, so whey protein is not an option for me. I mix Brown Rice Protein (two scoops) with rice milk and banana flav drops in a blender and it tastes really nice. You need to flavour it as the standard taste is somewhat similar to cardboard.Goes Well With:Banana Flav Drops, Rice milk
