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

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 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.

No discernible taste but great in baking and smoothies as I can’t have whey or soy protein due to allergies.

(+) it's still protein I guess(o) mixability is okay, the texture is a bit silky(-) it tastes like sawdust(-) scoop doesn't measure well(-) the powder is so fine that it spreads out in the air when moved and gets everywhereOverall: I stomached the flavour for half of the pack but it became too depressing to eat any more.

Tastes dry and powdery but seems to work better for my digestion than other powders and it's cheap. Perfect for me!

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.

Very mild taste which works well with both sweet and savoury, excellent source of protein, hypoallergenic, even suitable for mast cell patients. If there's ever been any issue with packaging then customer services have sent a replacement fast. I usually get 5kg at a time, free postage and it lasts me around 5 months. Love it.

I have tried their flavoured vegan protein powder and didn't like the aftertaste of the sweetener so decided to go for this unflavoured one.The "unflavoured" flavour is utterly dreadful, from the smell to the taste and texture; everything is awful. On a plus note it mixes really well because the powder is incredibly fine. Maybe if you can combine it in something where you don't taste it at all then it would be ok.I was hoping to find a cheap vegan basic protein powder but this isn't it.
