The benefits of rice cream

Rice cream is a popular and healthy alternative to other carbohydrate sources for athletes and health-conscious individuals. It is easily digested and provides slow, sustained energy, while being gluten-free. In this article, we will explore the benefits of rice cream, why to add it, and how to incorporate it into your diet.

What is rice cream?

Rice cream is a product derived from white or whole rice that has undergone a grinding and milling process. The rice grains are ground to form a flour that can then be mixed with a diluting agent (water, vegetable milk).

At Nutrimuscle, we have opted for a whole rice flour, rich in fiber and resulting from a cooking process that promotes its assimilation and the preservation of nutrients. White rice undergoes a refining process that eliminates its outer shell as well as its germ: it therefore contains fewer nutrients than whole rice.

Rice cream is often used as a source of carbohydrates in the diet of athletes and bodybuilders. Unlike other sources of carbohydrates such as pasta or bread, it is easily digested and avoids digestive pain (stomach aches, bloating), especially products made with brown rice. It is an ideal carbohydrate alternative for people suffering from gluten-related diseases.

The benefits of rice cream

Rice cream has many benefits. Its advantages are as follows:

It is an easily digestible source of carbohydrates. In fact, rice cream provides continuous energy, making it an excellent choice for athletes who need energy over time. In addition, rice cream is easily digested, thus avoiding the problems of bloating or stomach pain that can be encountered with other sources of carbohydrates.

It does not contain gluten. Rice cream is a great alternative for people with gluten-related diseases, such as celiac disease. Gluten also causes inflammation in the digestive system.

Its low fat content makes it ideal for people looking to lose weight or control their fat intake.

Rice cream contains vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium and B vitamins. These nutrients are essential for maintaining good health, especially for athletes who have higher than average nutritional needs.

Iron, for example, is important for the production of red blood cells and the transport of oxygen throughout the body, while zinc is involved in the regulation of hormonal activity and muscle growth.

Rice cream promotes muscle recovery. The carbohydrates present in this product help replenish glycogen stores in the muscles, which is essential for muscle recovery and growth.

Why take rice cream?

Rice cream is a food supplement suitable for all profiles, sportsmen or sedentary. It is adapted to different diets and dietary restrictions.

For athletes, rice cream improves performance and recovery.

As mentioned before, rice cream provides energy in a slow and sustained way. For endurance sports such as prolonged training, rice cream guarantees a continuous supply of energy. Carbohydrates also help to replenish glycogen stores after intense training, which is important for post-workout recovery.

For people prone to digestive problems, rice cream is an ideal product.

Easily digestible, it can help relieve digestive problems such as bloating, gas and abdominal pain. It is a source of carbohydrates without inflammatory effects. It is also a good option for people suffering from gluten-related diseases.

For those looking to lose weight, rice cream is low in fat. The carbohydrates it delivers are slow-digesting, which can help control cravings and keep blood sugar levels stable. Additionally, rice cream is high in fiber, which helps promote satiety and reduce calorie consumption.

How to incorporate rice cream into your diet?

Rice cream can be prepared in a variety of ways. Here are some ideas for incorporating it into your diet:

• Use rice cream instead of flour in your baking recipes for more nutritious desserts.
• Add rice cream to your smoothies or protein shakes for an extra source of carbohydrates.
• Mix rice cream with almond milk and fresh fruit for a healthy and filling breakfast. (See our porridge recipe )
• Add rice cream to your homemade energy bars for a nutrient-dense snack.

In general, it is recommended to take about 50 to 100 grams of rice cream per day, depending on your individual carbohydrate needs.

What you need to remember

Rice cream is a healthy and nutritious alternative to more common carbohydrate sources. It can be easily incorporated into your diet as a slow-digesting and sustained energy source. It is particularly beneficial for athletes, people with digestive disorders and vegans.

With its high content of complex carbohydrates and protein, rice cream is an excellent choice for people looking to improve their health and physical performance. Don't hesitate to try it in your cooking recipes or take it as a pre- or post-workout supplement.
