Great I love it!

It is better to cook this Brown Rice Protein. Personally, I mix 50/50 with the vegan blend, as I like the idea of multi-protein source. Usually I cook with either ramen noodles, add the hot water to make a soupy consistency, then microwave for long enough that it's cooked, so around 2.5 minutes. The bitterness neutralised by the cooking. I also do similar with porridge oats and honey, which makes a great breakfast. The other thing I do is mix it in with a curry sauce, which kind of helps to thicken and give some body, and from a nutrition point of view adds protein.

Great taste

I have never had Brown Rice Protein before. I was extremely pleased with its taste and mixability. I normally have it just with water, and it's the best tasting plant-based natural protein powder. I have not noticed any side effects whatsoever. It's highly recommended.

really bad mistake

I really regret buying this Brown Rice Protein powder. I wanted to try a 'cleaner' protein powder to get away from all the chemicals and flavourings which are present in the whey protein I had been using, so I purchased the brown rice protein. It has the most disgusting texture, like eating crumbled chalk. I have tried it in smoothies with fruit, no matter how much water or almond milk is used to mix it with, the texture still remains horrible. I have used it to make protein pancakes and it just makes the texture worse. I am now stuck with 2kg of the stuff and it was a complete waste of money. I'm really disappointed with the quality of this stuff.

"This tastes great when mixed with Pea Protein Isolate, I use 1/2 scoop of Pea Protein Isolate, and 1/2 scoop of Brown Rice Protein mixed with 200ml of water. I use flavdrops to add some taste. It seems like the sweetness of the Pea protein goes well with the chalkiness of the Rice Protein and vice versa. Pea protein is low in the sulfurous amino acids (cysteine and methionine) but rich in lysine; in contrast, rice protein is deficient in lysine but has high levels of both cysteine and methionine. Making the combination of the two a a superior amino acid profile than either protein alone. Its a shame that myProtein doesn't offer a 1/2 sized scoop (35ml) but I find that two tablespoons (the accurate home baking kind) of each protein is near enough. I have also just read that myProtein are offering a premixed vegan protein using Pea, Rice, and Hemp. I cant wait to try that out."

"I tried this for no other reason than the fact that other protein sources such as whey sometimes make me feel bloated (I like True MRP, but it does start to bloat me after a few days of use). I first tried it with 250mls of skimmed milk and I found it had hardly any flavour (a good thing) but had a very sandy texture which feels gritty on your teeth. However, later on after a workout I mixed 30g with 500ml of Powerade and it mixed fine with very little grittiness; the flavour of the beverage was almost the same - only the colour changed. This gave me an idea and highlights the product's main strength; it can be mixed fine with things like apple juice or practically anything that you want to add a bit of protein to. This is very easily digested and is really 'clean' food. If I want to add some carbs I will probably mix it with instant oats, but really it could be mixed with anything. I have no specific dietary restrictions, but will continue to use this, as I intend to use supplements with more simple, natural ingredients. I definitely recommend 500mls of liquid for a 30g scoop to alleviate the grittiness."

"This product has changed my life this year! I am extremely sensitive to gluten and dairy, therefore cannot tolerate any whey products. Trying the hemp and the soy, I thought would be great but to be fair didnt see any gains in my strength or energy at all, and they still upset my tummy! This brown rice protein is perfect for me, I work in a gym and workout very regular and due to being extremely active but not being able to have dairy proteins or gluten products I find it hard to get the right nutrition for fuelling workouts. This has been a god send, I rate it so highly but I will say if you are not good with making smoothies this will taste pretty bad on its own. I tend to have this with almond milk and add nice things to it to make it taste just right. I have seen really good gains in muscle shape too with this protein and its great for my weight loss clients too who also use this in my smoothie recipie for morning shakes. Lorna "

"I think that this product varies hugely between the batches. I had a 1kg pack of an earlier batch and loved its clean, non-existent taste so I bought another 2 packs, this batch however has a really strong and rather foul taste that just tastes burnt. I drink it anyway as its still a really good protein but I found it far, far better when I was actually happy to just swig on a shake as I went without any real thought. Now I have to force myself to actually drink it. "

"I can't score effectiveness as I've just started using it and for mixing I use a blender so there's zero problems. I think they must have changed the way its made since one or two reviewers said it tasted bad because this product has virtually no taste at all, its completely plain . That's not a bad thing by the way, its a lot better than tasting bad. Note also its half the calories of Total Protein if you're trying to cut down on. Overall I'm impressed and recommend it."

"Was excited when this came back into stock after about 5 or 6 months out of stock. I have been forced to rotate my proteins due to food sensitivities and find this one the easiest to digest (no bloating) than the others (hemp, pea and goat). But its not my favourite taste-wise, it tastes like plain flour - I was expecting a nuttier rice flavour, than what it offers. Doesn't put me off though - the digestive and protein benefits definitely outweigh any downsides to the flavour. I'll just have to be a bit more adventurous with what I mix it with (unfortunately can't eat fruit!) I would say if you have trouble digesting the other vegan proteins - try this one."
