What is in a 30 g scoop

Each scoop carries 23 g of fermented pea protein concentrate and 3 g of organic sprouted rice protein concentrate, both 80% protein. The seven organic mushrooms are red reishi, maitake, lion's mane, chaga, shiitake, cordyceps and turkey tail, at 185 mg each for a total of 1,295 mg. Sensoril ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) adds 125 mg of a 5:1 root and leaf extract. ProHydrolase, the enzyme blend, is 126.25 mg of bacterial protease with 123.75 mg of stem bromelain from pineapple. Purica lists 3,673 mg of branched-chain amino acids per serving.

The natural flavour

Natural is the unflavoured, unsweetened version of the blend. Purica adds monk fruit extract and natural flavour only to the Vanilla and Chocolate pouches, so Natural tastes of the pea and rice protein themselves, with an earthy note from the mushrooms. It is the one to choose for savoury use, such as stirring into soup, or for smoothies you sweeten yourself.

How to use it

Add one 30 g scoop to 250 mL of water or another drink, or blend it into a smoothie. The label dose is one serving a day for adults 18 and over. A shaker bottle is enough for a quick drink after a workout, and the powder can also be stirred into oatmeal or yogurt once they have cooled a little.

Why pea and rice together

Pea and rice proteins are paired because their amino acid profiles fill each other's gaps: rice is richer in methionine and pea is richer in lysine. Purica ferments the pea protein before drying it and sprouts the brown rice before the protein is extracted. Both proteins are concentrates at 80% protein, and together they make up 26 g of each 30 g scoop.
