If you use cream of rice during your bulking phases, then you’ll be excited to hear that premium sports-nutrition brand RAW Nutrition is joining the trend.
While we don’t know exactly when RAW’s product will hit shelves, co-founder and CEO Dom Iavacone recently announced the drop on his YouTube channel and responded to fan questions by saying it would be “within 30 days”.
What can we expect from RAW Nutrition Cream of Rice?
The brand also hasn’t released the full flavour lineup yet, although Iavacone mentioned a White Oreo version in his video and said there would be “3 or 4” delicious flavours dropping.
Stats-wise, RAW Nutrition Cream of Rice looks very similar to other products on the market, with 26g of fast-acting carbs in a 110-calorie serving.
What exactly is cream of rice, and why is it so popular?
Cream of rice is having a bit of a moment right now – and rightly so.
It’s a smooth, hot cereal made from finely milled white rice and a liquid of your choice: usually water or milk (either dairy or plant-based).
Ever-popular with gym-goers and bodybuilders, it’s quick and easy to prepare, so it’s an ideal pre- or post-workout snack.
Plus, it’s rich in easily digestible carbohydrates, naturally low in fat, and gluten-free. While it’s not particularly high in protein, it pairs well with protein powders or other foods.
You can get it in plain, unflavoured form as a base for your own culinary creations, or go for an option like the inbound RAW Nutrition Cream of Rice in White Oreo for a super-simple, delicious macro boost.
Overall, cream of rice is a simple, versatile option for fueling performance, supporting recovery, and managing your energy levels throughout the day, without the sugar contained in some other carb-heavy bulking supplements.
And that’s exactly why Iavacone says it’s become a staple in households beyond just bodybuilders.
