How to use it
Add one 30 g scoop to 250 mL of water or another drink, or blend it into a smoothie. The label dose is one serving a day for adults 18 and over. A shaker bottle is enough for a quick drink after a workout, and the powder can also be stirred into oatmeal or yogurt once they have cooled a little.
Why pea and rice together
Pea and rice proteins are paired because their amino acid profiles fill each other's gaps: rice is richer in methionine and pea is richer in lysine. Purica ferments the pea protein before drying it and sprouts the brown rice before the protein is extracted. Both proteins are concentrates at 80% protein, and together they make up 26 g of each 30 g scoop.
