Pride Foods Rice 'N Grinds

Cream of rice has been a bodybuilding staple for decades for one reason: it is a clean, fast-digesting carbohydrate that does not sit in your stomach when you train. The problem has always been that plain cream of rice tastes like wallpaper paste.

Rice 'N Grinds is organic long-grain white rice with a flavour system that makes it something you actually look forward to. That is the whole idea, and it is why we call it the best one we carry.

Why cream of rice instead of oats

This is the comparison everybody is making, so here is the honest version.

Oats carry fibre and beta-glucan, which slow digestion. That is excellent for satiety and steady energy through a morning, and it is exactly wrong an hour before you train, because the food is still sitting there.

Cream of rice is milled white rice with the bran and germ removed. Almost no fibre, almost no fat, and it digests fast and empties from the stomach quickly. Around 34 grams of carbohydrate per scoop with essentially zero fibre and zero fat.

Neither is better. They are for different moments. Oats for a breakfast that has to hold you until lunch, cream of rice when you are eating to fuel a session that starts soon or refilling after one.

It is also gentle on a stomach. If oats bloat you, or you have ever tried to train on a bowl of them, that is the problem this solves.

What is actually in it

Certified organic granulated white rice, US grown, long grain
Organic cane sugar and monk fruit extract for sweetness — no artificial sweeteners
Pink Himalayan sea salt
Non-GMO natural flavouring

That is the list. No preservatives, no artificial colours, no artificial sweeteners. Vegan, gluten free and soy free.

Pride Foods is a veteran-owned business, which matters to a lot of our customers and is worth knowing.

Typical macros per scoop

Calories	150 to 160
Carbohydrate	34 to 38g
Protein	3g
Fat	0g
Fibre	0 to 0.5g
Sugar	0 to 4g depending on flavour
Servings	30

Macros shift between flavours, so check the tub you are holding. The unflavoured version has zero sugar. The dessert flavours carry a few grams from the organic cane sugar. The savoury Taco flavour runs around 700mg of sodium, which is dramatically higher than the sweet ones — useful if you are training hard and sweating, worth knowing if you are watching salt.

The flavours are the point

Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Chocolate Brownie, Blueberry Muffin, Coconut Cream, Peanut Butter, Maple Waffle, Unflavoured, and savoury options including Taco.

The savoury range is genuinely unusual and worth knowing about. Cream of rice made savoury behaves like a grits substitute, which opens up a completely different set of meals from the same tub.

The unflavoured version is the one to buy if you want control. Add your own protein, fruit, nut butter or salt and you have a base rather than a finished product.

How people use it

Pre-training, 60 to 90 minutes out. The main use. Fast carbs available when you need them, without a full stomach.
Post-training with a protein. Carbohydrate plus protein together is the standard recovery pairing, and this mixes with a scoop of whey without turning into cement.
Breakfast for anyone who cannot face food early. It goes down easily when solid food does not.
Getting calories up. If you are trying to gain and struggle to eat enough, drinkable and spoonable carbohydrate is far easier than more chicken and rice.
Cook it or cold-mix it. Hot water or microwaved makes a porridge. Cold water makes something closer to a shake. Both work.

Who this is for

Anyone eating a pre-workout meal who does not want to feel full going into a session
People who bloat on oats
Anyone trying to gain weight who struggles to eat enough
People avoiding artificial sweeteners, which rules out most flavoured carb products
Anyone gluten free — rice is naturally gluten free, unlike most oats which are cross-contaminated
Anyone who wants to support a veteran-owned business

Who this is not for

If you want fibre, this is the wrong food. The milling that makes cream of rice fast-digesting removes the bran and germ where the fibre lives. That is the trade, and it is deliberate.

If you are cutting hard and want food that keeps you full, oats will do that better for the same calories. Fast digestion means you are hungry sooner.

If you want a complete meal, this is 3 grams of protein and no fat. It is a carbohydrate source, not a meal, and it needs something alongside it.

Plain cream of rice from the supermarket is cheaper per gram. What you are paying for here is organic rice and flavours you will actually eat, and the second one determines whether the tub gets used.

Stack it with: a scoop of whey for a complete pre or post-training meal. NutraBio Whey Isolate mixes into it cleanly.

Frequently asked questions

What is cream of rice?
Finely milled white rice, cooked into a hot cereal. The bran and germ are removed, which leaves a fast-digesting carbohydrate with almost no fibre or fat.

Cream of rice or oats before training?
Cream of rice. Oats contain fibre and beta-glucan that slow digestion, which is good for satiety and bad an hour before you lift. Oats for breakfast that needs to last, cream of rice for fuelling a session.

How many carbs per serving?
Around 34 to 38g depending on flavour, at 150 to 160 calories, with 3g protein and no fat.

Does it have artificial sweeteners?
No. Organic cane sugar and monk fruit extract only. No artificial sweeteners, colours or preservatives.

Is it gluten free?

How do I make it?
Hot water or microwave for a porridge texture, or mix with cold water or milk for something closer to a shake. Both work.

Can I mix protein powder into it?

What is the difference between the flavours?
Sweet flavours carry a few grams of sugar from organic cane sugar. Unflavoured has none and lets you build it yourself. The savoury options, including Taco, run much higher sodium — around 700mg — which suits heavy sweating but is worth knowing if you watch salt.

Is it better than plain cream of rice?
