Vegan, Soy-free, Gluten Free Protein Powder

During a time when I was having a tough time working in enough calories with my limited diet a friend gave me this amazing suggestion. It is Nutribiotic vegan Protein powder. It is allergy friendly and full of protein made from brown rice. This became a great supplement to get me through the day. I would have a smoothie for breakfast and one before bed.  What's not to love about a smoothie? This was great to take on the road, too. If I was at someone's house I could easily have this for breakfast. Sometimes I would have cereal and this, or granola and this, first thing in the morning. It goes well with bananas and a milk substitute or apple juice (don't forget the ice!).  If you are changing your diet by eliminating a bunch of foods, this might be your ticket to switching without going totally crazy.  It was just the extra thing I needed to have on hand in a pinch. You can buy it in a 21oz or a 3lb size.  Go here to get yours. This is what Amazon has to say about it.

"NutriBiotic Rice Protein Vegan, Vanilla 80% Protein Content Hypo-Allergenic GMO & Gluten Free NutriBiotic vanilla flavored Rice Protein is a great tasting vegetable protein made from non-genetically modified whole grain sprouted brown rice. Free of the common food allergens normally associated with soy, milk, egg, wheat, and corn. This highly soluble powdered formula mixes easily into water, juice, or meals for an extra protein boost. Chemical processing is avoided by using a purified water and natural enzyme procedure. Low Temperature Enzyme Process The whole brown rice is first ground into a fine flour. Pure filtered water is then added, forming a thick slurry (called liquefaction) Natural enzymes are added in at different stages to break down and separate the carbohydrate and fiber from the protein portion of the whole grain. All processing temperatures are kept below 90° F. The low temperature and chemical free processing prevents denaturing of the amino acids. The final stage involves filtering, drying and low temperature milling."
