Life Pro Tasty Rice Flour
What is Life Pro Fit Food Tasty Rice?
Life Pro Tasty Rice is a pregelatinised instant rice flour developed by Life Pro Fit Food — the functional food range of Indiex Sport Nutrition Spain. Each 100g serving delivers 60g of fast-release carbohydrates, 14g of protein, 8g of dietary fibre and only 1g of sugar at 370 kcal — from a base of pregelatinised rice flour that preserves the vitamins (B1, B2, B3 and B6) and minerals (calcium, phosphorus and zinc) of the whole rice grain, while transforming it into an instant cream that is ready in a matter of minutes.
The pregelatinisation process sets Tasty Rice apart from conventional rice flour. Standard rice flour requires cooking to gelatinise its starch structure. In pregelatinisation, the rice grains are cooked and then dried before milling — altering the starch structure so that it hydrates instantly in warm or cold liquid without cooking time. The result is a smooth, creamy, instantly ready rice cream that combines the nutritional profile of whole grain rice with the preparation convenience of an instant powder.
The nutritional role of Tasty Rice in an athlete's diet is precisely defined: it is a high glycaemic index carbohydrate source designed to rapidly replenish muscle glycogen. Unlike oat flour (low GI, slow carbohydrate release over 2 to 3 hours), pregelatinised rice flour produces a rapid blood glucose and insulin response — ideal in the 30 to 60-minute post-workout window when muscle glycogen resynthesis is at its fastest and most insulin-sensitive. It is also used pre-workout by athletes who need a fast carbohydrate top-up close to training without the digestive burden of slower-digesting food sources.
Seven flavours are stocked: White Chocolate, Cookies, Unflavored, Choco Monky (with Speculoos), ProCao, Choco Good Cookies and ProCao Dubai — covering everything from the classic to the indulgent, with Choco Monky containing real speculoos pieces (6%) for a genuine Belgian biscuit-chocolate flavour experience.
Available in 1000g bags providing approximately 20 servings at the recommended 50g dose.
Fast carbohydrates. Instant cream. 7 flavours. The athlete's rice cream.

How Life Pro Fit Food Tasty Rice supports your objectives
⚡ 60g of high GI carbohydrates per 100g — the fastest glycogen replenishment available
Pregelatinised rice flour has a high glycaemic index — meaning its starch is digested and absorbed rapidly, producing a fast rise in blood glucose and a corresponding insulin spike. This is precisely the carbohydrate profile required in the post-workout window: elevated insulin drives glucose into depleted muscle cells via GLUT4 transporters, accelerating glycogen resynthesis and simultaneously creating the insulin-mediated anabolic environment that enhances the muscle protein synthesis response to protein consumed at the same meal. For athletes who train at high frequency, rapid glycogen resynthesis between sessions is not optional — it is the primary determinant of training capacity for the next session.
💪 14g of protein per 100g — enriched rice protein for muscle support
Tasty Rice provides 14g of protein per 100g — significantly higher than standard plain rice flour — from the enriched pregelatinised rice base. At 7g per 50g serving, each dose contributes meaningfully to daily protein targets, particularly when consumed alongside a protein shake in a post-workout protocol. Rice protein is well-tolerated, naturally gluten-free (in the unflavoured and most flavoured variants) and suitable for athletes with dairy sensitivity.
🌾 8g of dietary fibre per 100g — high GI carbohydrates that still support digestive health
Despite its high glycaemic index, Tasty Rice provides 8g of dietary fibre per 100g — a higher fibre content than most high-GI carbohydrate sports supplements. This fibre contributes to satiety between meals and digestive regularity without meaningfully slowing the fast carbohydrate absorption that makes the product valuable in the post-workout context.
🍫 Real speculoos pieces in Choco Monky — a genuine inclusion, not just flavouring
The Choco Monky flavour contains 6% real chopped speculoos biscuit — wheat flour, brown sugar syrup, vegetable oils, soy flour and cinnamon — incorporated into the formula alongside alkalized cocoa powder. This is a genuine texture and flavour inclusion that creates a spiced chocolate-biscuit cream experience. For athletes seeking genuine flavour indulgence in their post-workout carbohydrate source, Choco Monky is the most texturally complex variant in the range.
🌿 ProCao and ProCao Dubai — premium cacao-forward flavour concepts
ProCao and ProCao Dubai are the premium flavour additions to the Tasty Rice range. Both are built on an intense cacao-forward flavour profile — ProCao as the base expression and ProCao Dubai as an exotic, Middle Eastern-inspired interpretation with additional aromatic complexity. These variants are designed for athletes who want maximum flavour impact from their post-workout carbohydrate source.
🎯 Goal guide
🏋️ Mass gain: 2 to 3 servings/day (100 to 150g). Fast carbohydrate loading pre and post-workout under a caloric surplus. Mix with a protein shake for a complete mass-phase meal.
🔥 Weight loss / cutting: 1 serving/day (50g). Precise post-workout carbohydrate replenishment at minimal caloric cost — 185 kcal per 50g serving with 7g of protein and 4g of fibre.
⚖️ Body recomposition: 1 serving post-workout. Targeted glycogen replenishment in the anabolic window without unnecessary carbohydrate loading outside the training context.
Serving suggestion
Mix 50g of Tasty Rice in 200 to 300ml of warm water, milk or plant milk. Stir or whisk until smooth — the pregelatinised flour dissolves instantly to a cream consistency. Adjust liquid quantity for thicker or thinner texture according to preference. Life Pro recommends consuming 1 serving before training (for energy) or immediately after training (for glycogen replenishment and recovery). 1 to 3 servings per day are recommended depending on energy needs and training programme.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption.
Best times to enjoy it
⚡ Immediately post-workout — the primary window
The 30 to 60 minutes following training is when muscle glycogen resynthesis rate is at its highest and the muscle's sensitivity to insulin and glucose is most elevated. Consuming 50g of Tasty Rice immediately post-workout — ideally combined with a protein shake — provides the fast carbohydrates that maximise glycogen replenishment speed while the protein addresses the parallel anabolic window for muscle protein synthesis.
🏋️ 30 to 60 minutes before training
For athletes who need a fast carbohydrate top-up close to training without digestive discomfort, Tasty Rice's rapid digestibility and easy-to-prepare cream format makes it the ideal choice. Unlike solid food (white rice, pasta, bread), the liquid cream format empties from the stomach faster and provides available blood glucose with minimal digestive lag.
🌙 Between meals for high-frequency training days
Athletes training twice per day (common in team sports, combat sports and competitive endurance) need to replenish glycogen between sessions rapidly. A 50g serving of Tasty Rice between a morning and afternoon session provides 30g of fast carbohydrates in a format that is easy to consume even when appetite is suppressed from the morning effort.
🌅 At breakfast for energy loading before long training sessions
For long training days (90+ minutes), a 100g serving of Tasty Rice at breakfast alongside protein provides a fast carbohydrate load that begins glycogen loading well before training begins.

Key nutritional notes
Glycaemic index: high — pregelatinised rice starch is rapidly digested and absorbed, producing a fast blood glucose and insulin response. This is the defining functional property of Tasty Rice and the primary reason it is consumed pre and post-workout rather than as a general daily carbohydrate source.

Q1 — What is pregelatinised rice flour and why is it different from conventional rice flour?
Conventional rice flour is simply milled raw or dried rice grain — it requires cooking to hydrate and gelatinise its starch structure before it is digestible and usable as food. Pregelatinised rice flour undergoes an industrial cooking step before milling: the rice is cooked under heat and pressure, which gelatinises the starch, and then dried and milled. The result is a flour whose starch is already gelatinised and hydrates instantly in liquid — producing a smooth cream in minutes without any cooking. Nutritionally, the pregelatinisation process does not meaningfully alter the carbohydrate, protein, fibre or micronutrient profile of the rice, while dramatically improving convenience and digestibility.
Q2 — Why choose Tasty Rice rather than plain white rice for post-workout recovery?
Cooked white rice provides approximately 28g of carbohydrates per 100g of cooked weight — which means to get 60g of post-workout carbohydrates, an athlete needs to eat approximately 215g of cooked rice. This requires prior cooking, refrigeration, reheating and plates and utensils. Tasty Rice provides the same 60g of carbohydrates per 100g of powder, dissolves instantly in 200ml of warm water in under 2 minutes, can be consumed from a shaker, requires no cooking and can be prepared and consumed immediately after training without any preparation infrastructure. The convenience advantage is the primary differentiator — the carbohydrate source (rice starch) is nutritionally equivalent.
Q3 — Which Tasty Rice variant is best for maximum chocolate intensity?
The ProCao and ProCao Dubai variants are built specifically on intense alkalized cocoa as their primary flavour driver — alkalization deepens the colour and intensifies the chocolate flavour compared to natural cocoa. ProCao is the pure intense cocoa expression. ProCao Dubai adds an exotic aromatic dimension with additional flavouring compounds for a more complex, layered profile. For absolute chocolate intensity in a cream of rice format, these two variants are the most concentrated expressions in the range.
Q4 — Does Choco Monky contain gluten?
Yes. The Choco Monky (with Speculoos) variant contains 6% chopped speculoos biscuit, which includes wheat flour — making it the only gluten-containing variant in the 7-flavour stocked range. All other variants (White Chocolate, Cookies, Unflavored, ProCao, Choco Good Cookies, ProCao Dubai) are produced from a gluten-free rice flour base. Individuals with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance should avoid Choco Monky specifically and verify all other variants for manufacturing facility cross-contamination declarations.
Q5 — How many servings does the 1000g bag provide?
At the recommended 50g dose per serving, the 1000g bag provides approximately 20 servings. At one serving per day, this is a 20-day supply. Athletes in mass phases consuming 100g per serving (2 scoops) receive approximately 10 servings per bag. For high-frequency training programmes with twice-daily carbohydrate loading, one bag provides approximately 1 to 1.5 weeks of supply.
