Pulsin Brown Rice Protein

 

Overview

Here's what Pulsin have to say:

Made from 100% whole grain brown rice, this finely milled powder offers a naturally nutritious way to increase your protein intake.

Gently extracted using a patented, raw, low temperature enzymatic process without the use of any chemical additives, our sprouted rice protein powder is the perfect solution for vegetarians, athletes and anyone needing to supplement their diet.

With a 98% correlation to mother's milk and a 97% correlation with whey protein, rice protein is one of nature's most complete and readily-digested protein sources, providing a good balance of essential amino acids.

Unflavoured and unsweetened, our rice protein powder is so versatile it mixes into any food. Try it over muesli or cereal or blend in smoothies, juices, soup or yogurt.

Results

I’ve never used a brown rice protein powder before. I was expecting it to have a strange taste but it’s not noticeable in any food that I tried it in. It’s a convenient way of added extra protein into your diet, that’s its only purpose. I can’t imagine many people substituting their precious Whey for Brown Rice but it would be a fantastic alternative or addition to anyone's supplement cupboard and very useful for those out there who are Lactose intolerant. It’s good to mix up your protein sources anyway as they all have slightly different Amino profiles.

Realistically this is never going to be anyone’s main protein source but it would make a great addition to a supplement regime. 7/10
