Rogue: UPDATE November 2019: I added another star because I realized I've been using this for a year and a half now, and will continue to buy it. I did have one bad tub a year ago, and it seems that it was just a bad batch because others had similar issues at the time. But I've not had a bad one since then. It's definitely high quality rice protein, and still the only protein that doesn't upset my stomach. It dissolves fairly well, though it does leave a bit of a froth. I have seen some improvement in that area, so it seems like they're always trying to improve on this product, which is encouraging. Best brown rice protein I've tried so far.

UPDATE: Whatever the issue with the previous container has now been eliminated, and all the rest of my purchases have been to the quality of the first I bought. I added an extra star. It's still rice protein and is thus bland, but if you have food sensitivities and allergies that cause limitations in your ability to consume protein, this stuff works. I've not had any reactions to it and I've noticed improvements in my muscle tone since I started taking it.

There appears to have been some change in the process for this protein...

Catherine: A good protein supplement if you're having trouble getting protein in elsewhere. I use it in smoothies or bake into crackers (I have a cracker recipe on my blog that uses this powder, not sure if it's kosher to post the link here....).

I also use pea and hemp protein powders on a semi-regular basis. In comparison to those, I would say the rice protein is more palatable/innocuous than hemp (hemp has a sort of "grass" or "dirt" flavor if you use too much), but that the texture can be a little difficult if you use too much of it. If you need to really load up on protein, the texture of this powder may pose problems--I would recommend checking out a pea protein in that case, the texture is much smoother. Despite that texture issue, I still use this rice protein because I like having protein from a variety of sources, and because it's really only a problem if you want a lot of protein in your smoothie or other drink--if you just need a bit of a boost (12 g is often plenty for me), it's great. I have had less of a problem with the texture when using this protein powder in baking, perhaps because I usually pair it with a hefty dose of almond flour!

Maggie The Red: So, if you mix this product with water in a blender cup, this shake is a bit gritty and plain, just like it says on the label; however, I use it when I make bread, muffins, pancakes or any other baking product that I want to boost the protein content. This product only has 1gm of sugar per scoop, which is perfect. I can add sweetness with fruit, honey, sugar or splenda. It hasn't affected the recipes I've made, just make sure you blend it well with the liquids in your recipe. I make delicious complete meal shakes using this product with fruit and 1 tsp of flax, chia seeds or nut butters. You can always add flavor with a few drops of vanilla, a tad bit of cinnamon or even some cocoa powder. This product is not sweet at all, so if you just need protein, this is perfect. Additionally, this product is a protein isolate, which is a fancy way of saying this is all protein, no fat, and 2 gm of carbs; if you are looking for micronutrients (vitamin and minerals) this is not the right product for you. You should look at their Spectrum Shake which is also very excellent. When I make a shake I use 1cup of almond milk, a scoop of plain protein, a scoop of the spectrum protein, 1/2 c of berries...
