NOW Sports Barley Rice Protein, Unflavored Upcycled Vegan Protein Powder, 10g Protein, 1.5 lb

NOW Sports Barley Rice Protein is an unflavored vegan protein powder made through a sustainable upcycling process to support training and daily nutrition. Each two-scoop serving provides 10 g of plant-based protein in a smooth, silky powder that mixes readily into water, juice, smoothies, and other beverages. The single-ingredient formula contains only barley rice protein, with no added sweeteners or flavor-masking ingredients. Although unflavored, it has a mild malty character that helps soften the off-notes often associated with plant proteins, without a bitter aftertaste.
