Best Rice Protein Powders of 2025

"I've been drinking this protein every morning. It's the best on the market after thorough research and consultation with my gastroenterologist. I was shocked when I went to reorder and found it unavailable. Jessica from customer service was great, but they’re unsure when it will be back. This product is essential for my well-being, and I hope it returns soon!"

"I discovered this organic rice protein powder while searching for alternatives to whey due to my cholesterol issues. I was pleasantly surprised by its slight sweetness and how well it blends into my chocolate shakes. The only downside is that it creates a bit of dust when scooping, but overall, it’s become my go-to protein source!"

"This protein powder is fantastic! It has no taste and isn’t gritty like others I've tried. I have allergies to whey and certain thickeners, so finding something clean is a relief. My only minor note is that the serving count didn’t last as long as expected."

"I mix this product with water in a blender cup. The shake is a bit gritty and plain, just as it says on the label. However, I love using it in my baking—bread, muffins, pancakes—to boost the protein content. With only 1g of sugar per scoop, I can sweeten it with fruit, honey, or Splenda. It hasn't affected my recipes; just blend it well with the liquids. I make delicious complete meal shakes with almond milk, fruit, and seeds. My daughter enjoys chocolate shakes, and I find this product very versatile and filling."

"I’ve gone through four containers of this Rice Protein. When it’s good, it’s great. It mixes well in smoothies without any foul taste. However, I had one container that caused severe stomach pains. I now strongly recommend refrigerating it after opening. Since I started keeping it in the freezer, I haven’t had any issues, and I've noticed improvements in my muscle tone since using it."

"Recently, I noticed a change in this protein powder. The last tub had a bitter aftertaste, reminiscent of old rice. I used to enjoy its slightly sweet flavor, and it blended smoothly. Despite this, I’ll finish the tub because it’s one of the few protein powders I can tolerate, but I might explore other options if the flavor doesn’t improve. I would have rated it five stars previously, as it’s great for those needing extra protein without allergens."

"I really like the performance I get from this protein, especially when I mix it with pea protein."

"Unfortunately, I found that no matter what I mixed it with, nothing could mask the taste and texture."

"Wow, the reviews really weren't exaggerating about this tasting foul. It's honestly one of the worst protein powders I've ever tried."

"Despite the appalling taste, I’ve found a way to use it without wasting it. Just mix it with water and chug it down!"

"This is my go-to for my morning smoothie; a day without it feels incomplete!"

"I find this product to be great value for money. There are no unnecessary ingredients, which is a relief for someone like me with allergies to additives. It's easy to use and mix in recipes, and I sincerely hope they never change it!"

"I purchased this protein to diversify my protein intake and while it has a chalky texture and a neutral flavor, it mixes quite easily when shaken. It's a solid choice for those who prefer plant-based proteins."

"Initially, I was amazed that rice could be transformed into a protein powder. For someone like me who has issues with soy, pea, and milk, this product is quite impressive. Although it takes a little time to dissolve, it feels like it digests well. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricier than others, but I think it’s worth it."

"I appreciate this as a great source of protein for my vegan food plan. Since I have hypoglycemia, I need to eat every 2 hours, and mixing a tablespoon into 2 oz of coconut water gives me a quick pick-me-up. It helps keep my blood sugar stable, and while the taste is just okay, it’s manageable in coconut water."

"I used to enjoy this protein a couple of years ago when it was available in smaller sizes. Now that it’s back, I’m willing to deal with the 6 lb size because nothing else compares. The texture and price are excellent, and I’m glad to see it return!"

"I bought this for my morning smoothies to boost my protein intake. I’ve been using brown rice protein concentrate for a while, and it suits me perfectly. However, I didn’t realize this product is mostly protein isolate, which has caused some stomach issues for me. I recommend checking the label carefully before ordering!"

"I am really satisfied with this product overall. Quality ingredients are my priority—I want to avoid artificial additives that hinder muscle growth. This product is just one ingredient, brown rice protein. It mixes easily, though the flavor is not great. I improve the taste with juice or fruits. I will definitely buy it again and recommend it!"

"I switched to this rice protein when egg prices skyrocketed. While it doesn't have the same amino acid profile as egg whites, it works fine in shakes. I find it offers a good protein source at a lower price. However, I limit myself to one serving a day due to concerns about arsenic absorption in rice."

"Initially, I was looking for a more affordable alternative to my usual rice protein powder. I tried this one, and I couldn't tell the difference, so I'm sticking with it. Plain rice protein powder isn't the tastiest, but I appreciate having control over what I can add to it. It blends well into oatmeal and smoothies!"

"I've been using this protein powder for over six months, but the taste is quite off. It smells and tastes like the plastic container, which makes me think it’s stored poorly. I understand it’s nonrefundable, but I wish I had the choice for a replacement. I’ve reached out to the manufacturer and will switch to ordering directly from them."

"As a long-time fan of Sunwarrior's warrior blend, I decided to try the rice protein due to my increasing allergies. Unfortunately, all I can taste is the stevia in the chocolate flavor, which is too overpowering. The chocolate is barely noticeable, and even the vanilla blend isn’t as bad as this. I’m glad I only bought a small container and think I’ll stick with the natural versions from now on."

"This rice-based protein powder isn’t my favorite, and I don’t look forward to drinking it, but it digests well for me without causing any bloating. The powder has a light brown color and clumps a bit. It mixes nicely in a shaker bottle and has a light foam on top. There’s a soft, micro-pulp-like texture that feels odd while drinking, but the earthy sweet chocolate taste is pretty decent."

"I've always struggled with whey protein due to its taste and digestion issues. This dairy-free and gluten-free protein powder has been a game changer for me. It mixes well in smoothies, and my family loves it. The sample packets were a lifesaver, allowing us to try it before committing. I’ve already bought additional jars after trying it!"

"As someone who switched from whey, I was concerned about finding a flavorful and low-sodium alternative. This rice protein has a pleasant taste without being overly sweet. I mix it with almond milk and half a banana, and it's been great for my skin. I really enjoy it!"

"I’ve been using this product for two years, but I’m frustrated with the price hikes. Despite the increase, the taste with frozen fruit and almond milk is fantastic. I rely on this for my nutrition needs, but if it continues to rise, I may need to look elsewhere."

"I switched to rice protein powder because I try to restrict my soy intake and avoid dairy. It’s a bit chalky, but that doesn’t bother me. I love making smoothies with frozen berries and banana. The mixed berry flavor has become my favorite!"

"I really enjoy the awesome flavor! I mix it with unsweetened almond milk, and it tastes like berry almond milk. I don’t add sugar, and it still tastes great. It’s a clean protein without the junk fillers!"

"I have to stick to rice protein due to allergies, and this one has the essence of berry without being sweetened. I blend it with Growing Naturals vanilla rice protein, frozen fruits, and some veggies. It’s so good!"
