A decent low fodmap vegan option compared to iso-whey protein

I bought this as a vegan alternative to my favorite protein powder, unflavored whey protein isolate. Pros: Suitable for a low-FODMAP diet! It has a mild, unobtrusive flavor that is somewhat reminiscent of raw flour in both smell and taste. finely ground. Fairly easy to mix with food (oatmeal, other warm cereals) - as it doesn't alter the flavor much or add a super-grainy mouthfeel to the food. Has a similar nutritional profile in grams of protein per gram of powder and calories per gram of protein compared to Isopure Whey Protein Isolate; See comparison below * Cons: Doesn't dissolve as well on its own. I used this with almond milk base, 1-2 tbsp (serving size = 1 tbsp) in 16 ounces of cold milk. Vigorous shaking in my blender bottle makes it drinkable, but you'll have to shake it repeatedly during use to re-homogenize the mixture as the powder settles in the bottle. I add unsweetened TJ's PB powder, cocoa powder, and raw monk fruit sugar to mine; Remember you will still taste the powder inside. Country of origin: China. *Compared to Whey Protein Isolate calculated on a nutritional basis and standard rounded volume conversion: This brown rice protein: 40 calories and 8g protein per 1 tablespoon (10g weight) serving. 1.25 grams of protein per gram of powder and 5 calories per gram of protein. Isopure (Unflavored) Whey Protein Isolate Provides 100 calories and 25 grams of protein per 1 scoop (weight 29 grams). The volume of the shovel is 70cc (marked on the shovel). To make volume comparison easier, that's 4.7 tablespoons per serving (per scoop). It contains 5.3 grams of protein per tablespoon, 1.16 grams of protein per gram of powder, and 4 calories per gram of protein. The difference between the two products in terms of grams of protein per gram of powder is minimal, as is the calorie content per gram of protein. Brown rice contains more grams of protein per unit volume (8 grams of protein per tablespoon versus 5.3 grams of whey), a 33% difference. If you're switching protein sources to avoid dairy or if you don't like the taste of whey protein. This can be a fair option due to similar values. However, keep in mind that you need to further tweak your smoothies to make the powder drinkable. Because of its properties, I would suggest using it in shakes, food and baked goods rather than minimalist liquid shakes.
