Rainbow Light Protein Energizer™ Rich Chocolate -- 16.2 oz
Food Based™ Energizing Instant Shake:. • 15 grams of rice protein. • No soy, dairy or added sugar. • Low-carb, low-fat & high fiber. • 500 mg of Spirulina. High-Protein, Low-Fat Shake with Energizing Herbs & NO Soy, Dairy or Added Sugar. Rainbow Light's Protein Energizer™ shake is a low-fat, low-carb nutritious protein shake with a delicious natural chocolate flavor and no added sugar. Unlike other protein drinks that can leave you feeling heavy and bloated, Rainbow Light's Protein Energizer will help you feel nourished, energized and ready to face your day. Plus, Protein Energizer is vegetarian, and because it contains no soy or dairy it is very easy to digest. The perfect complement to your daily health regimen, it features:. 15 grams of Hypoallergenic Rice Protein Per Serving - Rice protein has a complete amino acid profile making it an excellent source of protein. And Protein Energizer is free of soy and dairy, both of which can be hard to digest and cause a feeling of heaviness and bloating. 7 Grams of Fiber Per Serving - high in fiber from six different sources: maltodextrin fiber, rice bran, oat bran, beet root, apple fiber and guar gum. 810 mg (herbal powder strength equivalent) of Adaptogenic Herbs - that increase stamina, mental alertness and work performance without the use of stimulants like caffeine or guarana. These energizing herbs also help combat the sleepy feeling some people get when they eat protein. 500 mg of Spirulina Per Serving - far more than most other instant shakes. Spirulina is a highly nutritious blue-green algae that naturally supplies a wide spectrum of vitamins and minerals, and is one of the most concentrated sources of protein in the plant or animal kingdom. Whole Food Nutrition - from spinach, kale, dandelion green and beet juice concentrates. A Comprehensive Blend of Plant-Source Enzymes - similar to those found in raw whole foods, making Protein Energizer very easy to digest.

"I've tried lots of protein powders and I find this one to be the best by far. It has no whey in it, which is great for me since I'm lactose intolerant. It's very gentle on my stomach and tastes great! It's great in oatmeal."

"Well, I'm reviewing after only one shake, so can't speak for the effectiveness. The taste is not that fabulous. I had to add a lot more water than rcommended because it was SO thick. Typical chocolate protein shake. Kind of grainy, not very sweet. I added some stevia and cinnamon and it was 100% better. I would recommend this, simply because for a protein shake, you cant beat 7 grams of fiber."

"This item is well appointed when it comes to nutritive value, but the taste is chalky and it has a definite "vitamin" taste. That having been said, its relative allergen free contents and the good nutritional profile still make it acceptable."

"This powder smells delicious but unfortunately doesn't taste too good. It's a little gritty too. I have a rice protein shake almost every morning (Jason's plain with added fruit) and thought this would be a nice change from time to time. I have to say that I am quite impressed with the nutrition label so I will continue to drink it even though it isn't delicious!"

"Best breakfast shake, especially the chocolate, that I've had in a while. It has everything that my body needs without any of the allergens. I add cinnamon, half a banana and blueberries to it to make it even more yummy. You can't beat the price either.
Thank you."

"I use this powder for a quick breakfast in my smoothies and it actually tastes much better than whey protein powders I've tried. It is good and chocolatey. The protein is from rice, so no worries about soy or dairy allergies. My stomache is satisfied after drinking these and I know that it's a better choice than most things I'd eat in when I'm in a hurry. Just be aware of the moisture-absorbing packets inside the container; once they ended up in the blender."
