Naked Rice

It has good taste, no too sweet, so ...👌👌👌

Great product, container is way to big, it's barely half full. Really wasting a lot of plastic.

Received on time. Huge bottle. Product in the bottle had an unusual smell and gave me a bad stomach. Could have been off or maybe it's just not for me. Reverting to my usual brand. You win some you lose some.

It’s a great product and it goes down really well. I have trouble with anything egg or dairy and even some plant proteins (food sensitivities and IBS) but this sits really well. I found that Carnivore beef protein sat really heavy but this was light and easy to drink. It blends really well but basically just tastes like sidewalk chalk. Just mix it with whatever as it’s practically tasteless. My only qualm is that these vegan protein products are WAY overpriced and I feel it’s taking financial advantage of people with dietary restrictions and medical conditions. An unfortunate side effect of a capitalistic culture. But other than than, I highly recommend it.

This protein powder is great. Has no taste and isn't gritty as some protein powders I've had. I have read the comments of people saying it's gritty but I feel that's only because they have been consuming products where it dissolves with additives. I was taking coconut protein powder prior to this one and I tell you THAT is gritty! I love that it doesn't have a bunch of added stuff in it as well. It's really hard to find protein powders that I can consume since I am allergic to whey, spinach and added thickeners and fake sugars don't agree with me. Yay for Naked Rice! Only down side I noticed was that it said it was 75 servings. I know my servings were on the larger side, but it didn't last me to 60 even.

So I don't really review things on amazon, but I feel that this product merits some time in writing in actual review apart from what others have written. To begin with, this is without a doubt a great tasting protein; i'm quite surprised for the fact that as a plain plant based protein, it does not taste like crap. Financially speaking, this is a cheap product when one accounts for the cost/lb and the amount of protein that you get per serving along with it being an "organic" product, and when you spread that across many other kinds of protein strands available on Amazon you'll see that this is a good deal to be had especially when one sees that the market is more or less homogeneous for protein in general. I went ahead and bought this product from Naked along with their chocpb and casein which I felt were a great deal and I was pretty hyped to get my hands on this based on all the stellar reviews that were here on amazon. Shortly after, I out of my own curiosity went ahead and did a bit of research on plant based protein and was somewhat alarmed by some reviews and some sources stating that contaminates that could possibly be prevalent in plant based proteins just like this one. Though then again, there isn't much research out their to warrant this being the case (along with everyone's opinion on the matter which is quite open-ended), however what really caught my attention was in which this product is being marketed as an organic product. The reason that this alarmed me is because when I went on the USDA's organic integrity database, I tried to search up this company where their name didn't pop up anywhere in their database. I then went to CCOF's website (the agency Naked claims to have been certified organic from) and searched their registry for this company and nothing popped up. It is at this point in which I was dumbfounded as to how something like this could have happened. I then emailed Naked and asked them who they were doing business as to verify that this product truly is organic in which they told me that they are labeling their product as organic based upon their co-packer, meaning that this product (from whoever the third party manufacture is) supposedly has registration with CCOF as being certified organic. Private labeling isn't a problem, and heck, if that means that I can get protein much cheaper i'm all for it. The only problem is that Naked told me that they don't provide the name of who their supposed co-packer might be which to me sounds highly suspicious and concerns my own well-being as to if I should be taking this in the first place. I mean I can understand if you as a company don't want to provide the name of your third party manufacture so that your competition finds out in regards to your strategy (which is pretty reasonable when one looks at how fragmented the market is), but not being transparent to that point gives benefit of the doubt to many things they are claiming. Surely it was my own sheer ignorance that I did not do my due diligence before buying their products, but I think that those who are going to go ahead and purchase their products ought to think twice: They label their product as organic when their name doesn't pop-up in any data base (in which they claim that their product being organic is a fraudulent claim in itself), they state that their product is "HEAVY METALS AND MELAMINE TESTED: Our Naked Organic Sprouted Brown Rice Protein is independently tested by third-parties for heavy metals and is melamine free" (which is pretty much contradictory since they are privately labeling a product that clearly isn't manufactured by them, so what claim back's this up?), lastly, on their 5lb product they use seals to label that this product is organic but why not on their 1/lb product? I had a lot of hopes for this company and this product as the exact value proposition of what this product claims to be when its not what it is. "Naked Rice: Premium Organic Brown Rice With Nothing To Hide" ought to be more like "Naked Rice: Premium Organic Brown Rice With Many Things To Hide" Caveat Emptor......

TLDR: If you have intolerance or can't have an animal protein you can make this work but this isn't going to win any taste tests. I lift weights 4x a week and am focused on macros. Unfortunately I can't use whey protein so the search began for something that could meet my needs. Enter Naked Rice. This is a very clean product delivering everything is says it does. Rice protein isn't complete meaning you are lacking some amino acids. In this case it's lysine. As a scientist I dove into the research. You could of course supplement but a simpler solution is to use more Rice protein. In this case 48g will get you everything you need. I find the product dissolved well in water but would suggest adding it to water vs the other way around to prevent it from getting in the air. The texture won't appeal to everyone as with more product its a tad gritty. The taste is akin to cardboard but I'm eating with purpose not for pleasure and I'm not masking the taste with other items. Overall a great product but if you want a good taste with no grittiness it might not be for you.

Love it mix it with garden life vegan protein isolate, 1 scoop of each is a great balance blends very well together. On its own little bit grainy but considering it a pure isolate protein its a win. Garden life uses stevia extract its very strong, why they just didn't use brown sugar is a questionable insight considering they promote sience based laboratory processes... Brown sugar is much healthier then stevia, it has minerals and vitamins including magnesium and calcium !
