Bulk Brown Rice Protein Powder, Vegan Protein Shake, Unflavoured, 1 kg, Packaging May Vary

Good quality rice vegan protein. It's a big advantage of no flavour because wa can add any flavour that we want in the moment when we want it. When bought with a flavour it makes you obliged to eat same flavour until the end if the package. With this unflavoured powder you are free to enjoy your own taste. We bought it twice in the past 6 months and the texture of it is mixing well in the shaker with water or other liquid. Looking forward to buying again. The bigger package seems to be of better value for money.

Surprusingly this was acutaually pretty tasty. I was expecting that awful chalky taste aftef having only had pulsin rice protein in the past but I was pleasantly surprised, its much better. It mixed well and quickly due to the fine texture. I use the promixx shaker (which is very btw) and have it on cereal. Unflavoured works well for me as I have a very sensitive stomach and gut and processed rice protein is processed enough on it's own! End of the day it's vegan protein powder without sugar or artifical sweetener, not sure what people expect. Obviously you can tart it up with whatever sweetness or savory stuff you like; bana, berries, coconut.milk , nut butters, spinach or add to protein balls, soupd whatever. 500g will last me a while at 5.99. I don't consume it everyday. Also comes with a scoop, which is always useful as I have no idea what. I do with mine.

I am not usually one to highlight the taste of a product. However, this stuff is pretty bad. Flavour is surprisingly overpowering. I cannot consume the required amounts without holding my nose and then rinsing my mouth out t h o r o u g h l y. So does the job but in a way that tastes surprisingly terrible.

Bought this to mix 50/50 with pea protein for a completely amino acid profile in smoothies. If you're already using non-flavoured proteins such as pea, this tastess fine. If you're trying to avoid sweeteners and the other stuff that's put in to most vegan protein powder, you can adjust your smoothie/shake and add things like dates and ripe bananas for sweetness. It's a very fine power, almost looks and feels like cornflour. Has a slight texture to it when blended, but blends smoothly without lumps in a high powered blender. It doesn't really have a smell, has great protein content.

I’ve rarely come across something quite this underwhelming. I went with "unflavoured" a choice that, in hindsight, might have been a bit optimistic. It’s also tricky to mix. The texture lands somewhere between slightly gritty water and something that didn’t quite come together. Not harmful, just not especially pleasant.

I bought this because I'm on iron tablets and my usual whey protein inhibits iron absorption. As far as I can see this product is excellent nutritionally with a generous amount of protein per portion and no synthetic sweeteners. The taste is not quite so good. The best way of taking it is to dissolve in water - it mixes well with water - and drink it down quickly. Out of curiosity I mixed it with chocolate yogurt and that really did not taste nice at all.

My introduction to vegetable protein shakes came through a strongly "vanilla" flavoured Holland and Barrett (PE/PhD) blend of pea and rice proteins. It was fine but the smell was cloying and overpowering. Unflavoured, Bulk Brown Rice Protein Powder is altogether more wholesome. On rice crispies there is no strong flavour. It mixes much better in drinks. Unflavoured isn't bad tasting, if you like rice. I would describe the taste as wholesome, earthy, and like rice. Missing the "treat" feeling of my old, flavoured mix, I tried adding 7-8 drops of vanilla extract and teaspoon of sweetener. The change in flavour was only subtle which leads me to believe that vast quantities of sweeteners and flavourings were used in my previous "vanilla" flavoured product. Maybe its wishful thinking, but I find the Bulk Brown Rice Protein Powder more digestible. I bought pea protein to mix this with and help balance essential amino acids. The pea protein is a lot thicker and the powder courser. Rice protein is very fine. If I had one idea for improvement it would be that the delivery driver didn't dump the box outside, during the Christmas recess, and with heavy rain approaching. I'm not sure the bags are totally plastic and waterproof, but they are enough, and the powder seems totally ok.

I had to move away from whey as it didn't agree with me so I am hoping this will be better. The bag the powder is in didn't look and feel new which was odd so presentation wasn't great. Advisable to add a flavour like banana or peanut butter but still has a strong after taste. If it works then the price is great and I'll suffer the taste.
