The Skinny On Rice Protein
When you think of making a smoothie with protein you’ll most likely reach for whey, soy or egg protein powder first. That would be a mistake if you have allergies, if you are on a gluten-free diet or if you lead a vegan lifestyle.
Rice protein is created from brown rice that is ground into a flour and added to water. To break down and remove carbohydrates natural enzymes are introduced. In order to prevent the denaturing of amino acids the temperature during the process is kept low. At the end of the process you have a hypoallergenic and easily digested protein.
Rice protein is:
- Very low calorie and low fat.
- Utilized more easily than soy by the body.
- Available unflavored or in a vanilla or chocolate flavor.
- Filled with fiber and B vitamins.
- An excellent choice for baking or making smoothies or protein shakes.
- Easy to add to recipes to increase the amount of protein.
- Filled with the necessary amino acids to help with muscle repair and growth.
If you are looking for an alternative to whey, soy or egg protein powder then rice protein might be a good choice for you.
