NOW® Sports Barley Rice Protein is a plant-based protein powder that is produced through a highly sustainable “upcycling” process. Upcycled ingredients use materials that have full nutritional value and are safe, but for various reasons, would have gone to waste. Barley rice protein dissolves well in any liquid and has a smooth consistency with no bitter aftertaste. These qualities make barley rice protein a perfect vegan option, delivering superior taste and sustainability. This Non-GMO Project Verified product is grown and made in the USA.
