NutriBiotic Chocolate Rice Protein, 1 lb. 6.9 oz | Low Carb, Vegetarian & Keto-Friendly Raw Protein Powder | Grown & Processed Without Chemicals, GMOs or Gluten | Easy to Digest & Nutrient-Rich

This protein has a clean, wholesome flavor. The vanilla is there-not overpowering but just the right amount. It arrived quickly and in good shape. I am a repeat buyer and will continue. Highly recommend

I bought the Vanilla flavor Rice protein. Alone the taste is not very good. But I think that is true for most rice proteins. I mix it at a ratio of 30 to 70 or 40 to 60 of the rice protein to Vanilla Pea Protein by Naked Nutrition in some plant milk, filtered water and a little honey or maple syrup. Mix with an immersion blender and it taste great and blends well. I do this to try to get a complete protein with all the essential amino acids. I use it in other smoothies as well with frozen fruit, chia seeds, some honey and plant milk. Blends well and no over powering taste. I suffer from IBS-C and I can not drink whey. I have had not had any gut issues with The Nutribiotic Vanilla Rice Protein.

Tried this Nutribiotic Rice Protein powder this morning in my shake. It definitely has that typical plant based protein powder consistency, but it does blend well. It tastes better than pea and soy protein. The chocolate flavor is very mild, but I don’t mind it as I don’t like overpowering flavors. I mixed 10oz almond milk, 3tbsp rice protein, 1/2 c frozen blueberries, half a large banana, cinnamon, and 2 tbsp PB2. Blended in my bullet for 30-40 second and it came out delicious. Not gritty or sand like, with the perfect flavors of banana and blueberry. I have IBS and diverticulitis, and so far no stomach upset, bloating, gas, etc. I eat a plant based diet and look forward to using this in my shakes pre or post workout. Low calorie, low carb, low sugar, and not too much protein. I’ll update in a week or so!

I'm buying TWO more 3-lb containers again today! I have a sensitive digestion & many food allergies/sensitivities / Fodmap. Etcc. I started using this protein 20 yrs ago. It's my go to, since I'm allergic to Dairy Whey & avoid Soy & Pea. I've tried a few others, but this Nutribiotic always agrees with me. I buy the Chocolate & Vanilla. The Berry flavored one never tasted good to me. Im a Daily smoothie Girl and eat clean & exercise. It helps with my weight lifting. It's plenty of protein. My naturopathic checks my levels. Even my Creatine is always normal, so I don't supplement that. I get compliments on my fit body & muscles. Btw, when Im not making a smoothie, Ill make a Shake with Coconut water & SweetLeaf Stevia (which has electrolytes & high potassium). Im sure any protein tastes chalky in just water. Use Coconut water, especially if you exercise often. ;)

Great alternative to the whey protein I always have. I love how there's no added anything. I am a little concerned about the heavy metal content though - I keep it under 3 servings a day (I need A LOT of protein to maintain muscle). Also, I'm warning you it gets everywhere. However, it's a small price to pay for pure. Edit: 3/2/16 I can't believe I originally gave this product a four star rating. A little concerned about the heavy metal content? I should have been VERY concerned. Over the past four months, my health rapidly deteriorated. I admit I already have mold toxicity, but I knew something specific had to be provoking my worsening symptoms. Here I was thinking this rice protein was one of the only proteins I could eat because it is easy to digest. I failed to realize, however, that heavy metals decrease thyroid function! There is also a theory that mold binds to metals, so this was a double whammy for me. My body had begun aging rapidly - crepe skin, hollowed eyes and sagging cheeks, increased body fat and loss of muscle mass. And that was just the outside. Inside my chronic fatigue skyrocketed, my sinuses started hurting more than ever, and my breathing was impaired during increased activity. And let's not forget what this does to your hormones. PMS is an understatement. My breasts were starting to hurt ALL month long. My estrodial and progesterone were abnormally high to boot. It wasn't until recently that I reread an article which officially tested Nutribiotic for its heavy metal content. I felt so foolish because I failed to realized I had to multiply this serving times two or three because that is the number of servings I had per day of it. And mind you, as a consumer, I shouldn't have to worry about this because it's not fast food or dessert! Since my discovery, I have completely eliminated this product from my diet. And with the help of calcium disodium EDTA and chlorella (heavy metal detoxifying agents), I'm feeling like a new person. Not everyone may be as sensitive to this protein as I am, but why would you want to endanger your body in the first place? Things may feel ok for now, but what about down the road? I'd been consuming rice protein for the past year and a half, and it took until now for crap to hit the fan. I look back, and to be honest, my thyroid function began slowing early last year. Coincidence? I think not.

I am new user to protein powders. We started with ORGAIN, which I love, but having a hard time finding it right now. COSTCO is out of stock...as are other on-line retailers. Amazon has it, but super high price (supply and demand, I'm sure.) Anyway, I decided to branch out and try other rice proteins, as that is the first ingredient in ORGAIN. Anyway, its OK. Pretty chalking, but not unbearable. Quite tasteless, in my opinion, which isn't all bad. It has a specific odor that I don't love, but can get past. I decided to order some monk fruit and Erythnitol (might have spelled that wrong)- sugar substitutes that are in ORGAIN. Hoping they will do the trick to make this a bit easier to consume. It is OK mixed in a smoothie with fruit, but...If I could just enjoy it shaken up in a blender bottle, that would be quicker and easier. We shall see...sugar substitutes should be delivered Thursday... I will post an update after I try it. BTW- I ordered the larger container of the vannilla version of this...I taste no difference. They even smell the same. One other note- I am on day 9 of no sugar, no wheat/gluten/ no dairy 10 day detox. So my taste buds are quite "cleansed." Probably why I am being so picky! Update 4/8/15: I tried it a free sample of Stevia (probably only used an 1/8t.) w/ about 1T. protein powder and added about a 1/2t. of organic cacao. Much better taste...and reduced the funky smell. Also, I just shook this one up a blender bottle with about 1C unsweetened almond milk and ice. Still chalky, but I can get past that if the taste is OK. This AM I used about 3T. Rice protein, 1t. cacao, 1/2 banana, 1T. flax seed (meal), 1/2C. unsweetened almond milk, ice and a bit of water. Popped on a bullet blender...taste...perfect! Nice and chocolaty with the added cacao and perfect sweetness with the banana! Might not even need the other sugars I ordered. Anyway...I am enjoying the experiments! Stay healthy my friends!

Most of the reason I wanted to write a review was just to make a note for those of you who are big in taste. Despite the fact that this advertises as "vanilla" it is actually quite flavorless, which I suspect could be off putting for most. However I find it incredibly affective and also extremely easy to digest. I'm lactose intolerant which means I cannot use whey without horrifying gastrointestinal issues, but that also means I'm mixing this with almond milk which is unsweetened making this concoction a little harrowing, but I'm sure if I were to use sweetened or blend with fruit would clear that up quickly. However, I'm drinking this for the affects of helping me build lean muscle tissue which this does extremely well. That disclaimer out of the way, this is my second time purchasing it and I personally couldn't be loving it more. It's a great post work out recovery and helps me get a little more protein into my primarily vegetarian diet. I am suspicious that if you are lactose intolerant then drinking whey can offer you no benefits. I've been using whey for the last 6 months and all I did was get fat. Just a couple weeks back on this and I'm seeing a notable difference in my body composition. I did some research on rice protein and apparently it's not a complete protein and should be supplemented with either pea or hemp protein. Honestly, I think it's doing fine all on its own.

Good taste, equitable price for the amount, (3 Lbs), very easy on my stomach. I'm late 40's and work out really hard 3-4 times a week with short at home stints on my days off. Eating healthy, proper rest, cutting 90% of all sugar, bread, cheese, alcohol....there's a lot of other items you could add to the list. Trying to eat mostly healthy with pushing yourself and not getting the proper supplements could be a deteriorating factor. This past August I noticed I'd gained 10 lbs over the past year going form a field to desk job. For my height, 5'8", it was okay if put in the right places; this was mostly around my waist. Cut out those items listed above and went from 175 to 160 by end of January. It was too much loss. After one week of taking the protein, (every night, whether working out at the gym or home) ** (also mix a 1/2 scoop of two additional protein products, all organic all in the top 5 of best recommend healthy proteins), and I can already feel a big difference and see a small difference. I don't know the science behind it or if it will work for everyone as it has for me....gained back 1.5 LBS, have more energy and look a little better.
