True Nutrition - Rice Protein Concentrate - non-GMO

True nutrition is who I go to for my unflavored protein powder. You can make custom blends from different protein sources, flavoring options are fully customizable or can be left out. I get rice and pea + pumpkin to diversify my sources since I can’t do whey.

Unflavored rice protein powder is great for baking or pancakes or whatever (I get mine from true nutrition). If OP is making their pasta by hand I could see that being fine tbh. You can even sub it for flour in a white sauce and it’s not awful. If they’re thinking to put it in a red sauce… they should not lol.

It’s not going to taste like nothing lol, but it essentially tastes like rice flour.

I’m not a fan of Vega. True Nutrition has a rice protein that stirs up pretty well. Any plant protein will eventually settle a bit in the bottom of your cup, but the true nutrition brand is not gritty/chalky and they have a good variety of flavors that all taste great. You can customize your blend as well. It’s my go-to brand, have been buying from them for years

Ive tried a lot of protein powders over the years and my digestion is picky as is my taste- I’m with you completely on fake sweeteners. I do drink a protein drink everyday at this point and it’s easy to take in when I’m nauseous or working with a suppressed appetite from the med.. My current favorite is a plain rice protein from a brand called true nutrition, which I mix into milk but can be added to milk alternatives and smoothies, etc, and they sell flavor packs from which a little goes a long way. Some use stevia (not my favorite), some use monk fruit. I’ve tried a handful of them so far and my favorite is the chocolate fudge brownie flavor, doesn’t taste fake at all to me. A few others were gross to me so far, too much stevia. I also add powdered unflavored beef-based collagen for added protein and benefits for my stomach, joints, skin, and nails. I drink the protein drink most mornings but it’s easy enough to put into a shaker bottle to take with you for later in the day, etc. I sometimes do a smoothie with banana, milk or water, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, flax seeds. Can play with flavors by adding cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnamon, strawberries, etc. In the fall I add puréed pumpkin and pumpkin spice flavors. Super easy to digest for me and gives me some dependable energy. On days when my stomach is struggling from the med, I just dilute it a bit more or sip it slowly. Aside from that, I always keep things like meat, prosciutto, string cheese, Greek or Skyr yogurts, in my fridge for easy protein based snacks. Or do a little egg scramble with cheese and turkey slices thrown in. And I usually have a serving of meat with dinner.

I think something that goes unmentioned is the level of harmful heavy metals in vegan protein powder. I was doing True Nutrition for a while but I asked for their lab report and the rice powder (the better tasting part) has high levels of metals which don’t make the standards under California’s Prop 65. I pay extra for momentous protein powder now.

I reached out to True Nutrition about a year ago and they sent their test results for their soy protein, rice protein concentrate, pea protein isolate, whey protein isolate ultra - CFM, whey protein isolate cold-filtration, whey protein concentrate, and RGBH/soy free whey protein isolate. Tests appear to have been performed by a company called Certified Laboratories in July 2024. I received test results for levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury in each of the proteins I listed above. Here are the lead levels they provided: soy protein: 0.030 ppm rice protein concentrate: 0.362 ppm pea protein isolate: 0.025 ppm whey protein isolate ultra CFM: 0.024 ppm whey protein isolate cold-filtration: 0.023 ppm whey protein concentrate: 0.016 ppm rgbh/soy free whey protein isolate: 0.017 ppm I haven't typed out all the arsenic and cadmium and mercury levels because I am too lazy to type it all but if anyone is curious you can DM me and I can send you the PDFs. Or maybe I'll host them on google drive or something. Some math: For their rice protein concentrate, to reach 10 micrograms in a day, you would have to eat 33.33 grams of the protein concentrate (keep in mind there are often other fillers in the protein powder). 0.362(x) = 10μg --> x = 33.33 For something like the soy protein, to reach 10μg in one day, you would have to eat 0.030(x) = 10μg --> x = 333 grams TLDR: **For True Nutrition brand protein powder, most protein sources seem safe enough, but I'm probably going to avoid rice protein concentrate** **Edit:** Because I just read from other comments that California was suggesting 0.5μg per day, here is some more math. To consume 0.5micrograms of lead, you would have to eat: 16.67 grams of soy protein 1.38 grams of rice protein concentrate 20g of pea protein isolate 20.83g of whey protein isolate ultra CFM 21.74g of whey protein isolate cold-filtration 31.25g of whey protein concentrate 29.41g of rgbh/soy free whey protein isolate

For vegan protein powder I use Truvani and True Nutrition

Came here to say Truvani! Clean list of maybe 6 ingredients. True Nutrition is also great

soy isolate or beef protein isolate huge fan of true nutrition's offerings and their unflavored stuff (I add my own flavors so never get tired of the same one)

I use TrueNutrition and mix it in cold or hot coffee. It's delicious and even in the hot it's never curdled. I put mine in a blender bottle and give it a good shake before putting it in my cup.

I really enjoy True Nutrition. Tastes good and fairly priced, along with other good supplements. Can use my code DYLAN15782 for a discount too.
