What is Life Pro Tasty Rice?
Life Pro Tasty Rice is an instant rice cream, sold in a 1 kg tub by LifePro Nutrition. Behind that trade name is a steam pre-cooked rice flour: the grain is cooked before being milled, which gelatinises the starch and lets the powder thicken in a liquid without ever seeing a saucepan.
That is the only real difference from the rice flour on the supermarket shelf, and it is the one that matters in use. A raw flour has to cook for several minutes with stirring; this one takes on the consistency of porridge in one to two minutes, in a bowl or a shaker.
The ingredients list is short: steam pre-cooked rice flour, flavouring, sweetener sucralose. The flavours stocked here — Nature, Cookies, Chocolat-Peanut, White Chocolate, Strawberry Cheesecake, Procao, Choco Good Cookies and Choco-Monky. The last of these is the exception: it contains 6% chopped speculoos biscuit, and therefore GLUTEN and SOYA.
What does a serving of Tasty Rice contain?
The reference serving is 50 g, roughly one and a half scoops. The 1 kg tub holds 20 of them. Each serving provides around 190 kcal, 39 g of carbohydrate of which less than 0.5 g is sugars, 3.5 g of protein, less than 0.5 g of fat of which less than 0.1 g is saturates, 0.9 g of fibre and less than 0.01 g of salt. The full table appears in the nutritional values tab.
Two figures should be read together. The 39 g of carbohydrate against less than 0.5 g of sugars: the intake is almost entirely starch, not sucrose. And the 190 kcal, a high density for a volume that stays easy to get down — which explains the product's main use, hitting a calorie total when your appetite no longer keeps up.
One clarification is called for on vitamins and minerals. Rice contains them naturally, but the manufacturer publishes no quantities. Without a stated content, there is no way to check the 15% of the nutrient reference value per portion that European regulation requires before anything can be said about them. So we repeat no vitamin claim here. On the carbohydrate itself, no nutrition claim exists: neither “high in carbohydrate” nor “source of carbohydrate”. What remains true is what the serving contains.
How do you prepare Tasty Rice?
Pour 50 g of powder into 200 to 250 ml of hot water, milk or plant drink, and mix. The texture thickens in one to two minutes; adjust the liquid depending on whether you want it as a cream or as a porridge. To avoid lumps, first slake the powder in a little cold liquid, then top up with the hot liquid while stirring.
Three moments of use. 45 to 60 minutes before a session, so you arrive with full stores and no heavy stomach. Within the 30 minutes afterwards, often paired with a serving of protein, which gives you a dessert cream that is complete in macronutrients. Or at breakfast, in place of a bowl of cereal.
One to two servings a day cover almost every use. The manufacturer states no course length, and there is no reason to set one: this is a carbohydrate food, not an active ingredient. You eat it on the days your needs justify it and stop on the others, with no tapering.
Who is Tasty Rice for, and who is it not for?
The product is aimed first at those who need to raise their calorie intake: lean builds bulking, athletes with a high training volume, difficult appetites on waking. It is also useful when a solid meal will not go down before training.
The allergens deserve careful reading. The Choco-Monky flavour contains GLUTEN and SOYA: it is ruled out in cases of coeliac disease or soya allergy. The other seven are gluten-free by composition, but the facility also handles milk proteins, soya, eggs, gluten, fish, celery, sulphites, peanuts and crustaceans; cross-contamination remains possible, which makes them unsuitable for a severe allergy. The manufacturer advises against it for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding without prior medical advice, and it is not intended for children.
What you should not expect from it: this is not a slimming product, and nothing makes it more filling than any other starch. Nor is it a protein source, at 3.5 g per serving. And it makes no digestion easier: no digestive claim is authorised for rice flour. Any question about an intolerance is one for your doctor or your pharmacist.
Tasty Rice or oat flour?
These are the two carbohydrate powders that end up in the same cupboards, and they are not for the same moment.
Oat flour is the better choice in three cases. At breakfast on an ordinary day, because its fibre — several grams per 100 g, against 1.8 g here — stays with you longer. During a cutting phase, for the same reason. And when you are after a genuine plant protein contribution in the same bowl, which rice cream does not give you.
Tasty Rice wins when digestion has to be quick and unobtrusive: before a session, or just after, where oat fibre becomes a drawback. It also wins on texture and on neutrality in cooking. For a powder that is faster still and tasteless, to drink during training, it is neither of these two you should be looking at but maltodextrin. To compare two tubs, divide the price by the weight then look at the carbohydrate per 100 g: that is where the real gap lies.
Frequently asked questions
How many servings does a 1 kg tub contain?
Twenty servings of 50 g. At one serving a day, a little under three weeks; on training days only, comfortably more than a month. Keep the tub closed, in a dry place away from light, and observe the date shown on the packaging.
Which flavour should you choose for cooking?
The Nature flavour. With no pronounced flavouring and no colour, it works in pancakes, in a cake or in a savoury preparation without the taste getting in the way. The flavoured versions are made to be eaten as they are, as a cream or a porridge, and lend themselves poorly to use as an ingredient.
Is rice cream gluten-free?
They are by composition, with one exception. The Choco-Monky flavour is not: it contains speculoos biscuit, and therefore wheat. And none of the eight is suitable for coeliac disease, since the manufacturing facility handles gluten. Check the packaging of the flavour you buy.
What can you use instead of rice cream?
Oat flour for a breakfast equivalent, maltodextrin or cyclic dextrin for carbohydrate to drink during training, or ordinary rice flour if you are happy to cook it. That cooking is what steam pre-cooking saves you, and nothing else.
Can it be mixed with whey?
Yes, and that is the most common use. A 50 g serving with a serving of protein gives you a bowl of around 39 g of carbohydrate and 25 to 30 g of protein depending on the powder. Prepare the rice cream first, let it cool to lukewarm, then stir in the protein: poured into a scalding liquid, it goes lumpy.
Is there sugar in Tasty Rice?
Less than 0.5 g per 50 g serving. The sweet taste of the flavoured versions comes from sucralose, an intense sweetener, and not from added sugar. The 39 g of carbohydrate is rice starch.
What recipes can you make with it?
Porridge, dessert cream, pancakes, a cake base. We have gathered the preparations that genuinely work in a dedicated article on rice cream recipes, rather than making them half of this page.
Where can you buy Life Pro Tasty Rice?
The flavours can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. The question that comes up most in store is not the brand but the flavour: this is a product you eat every day, and a flavour that is too pronounced soon palls. In our Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, we often advise starting with Nature when the use is culinary, and keeping a chocolate flavour for morning bowls.
The rest of the carbohydrate range can be found in our sports nutrition section.
What is Life Pro Instant Oats?
It is an instant oat flour, milled very finely so that it dissolves in cold or hot liquid without lumps. It provides 377 kcal, 60 g of carbohydrates and 10 to 11 g of fibre per 100 g, with only 1.1 g of sugars.
It is oats, nothing more in the unflavoured version: oat flour, a single ingredient. The flavoured versions add cocoa, flavourings, biscuit pieces depending on the recipe, and sucralose as a sweetener. The composition therefore genuinely varies from one flavour to another, and the label on the pouch you receive is the authority.
The flavours listed here: Choco Monky, Cookies, Brownie, ChocOreo-Nut, Cookies-Choco Dips, Choco-Hazelnut, Vanilla, Croissant and Split. The manufacturer states a resealable 1.6 kg pouch; as this weight does not appear in our labelling data, check it on the pouch. The product joins our oat flour and LifePro Nutrition ranges.
What does a 100 g serving contain?
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 50 g serving* |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 1,578 kJ / 377 kcal | 789 kJ / 189 kcal |
| Fat | approximately 7 g | 3.5 g |
| of which saturates | approximately 1.3 g | 0.65 g |
| Carbohydrate | approximately 60 g | 30 g |
| of which sugars | approximately 1.1 g | 0.55 g |
| Fibre | 10 to 11 g | 5 to 5.5 g |
| Protein | approximately 12 g | 6 g |
| Salt | less than 0.1 g | less than 0.05 g |
* Column calculated from the per 100 g values. The manufacturer specifies that these values are averages: they vary by flavour, since the flavoured versions contain cocoa or biscuit pieces. No per-serving column is published, and the table carries no % NRV — which is normal, as a flour provides no nutrient for which an NRV has been established.
Two nutrition claims are solidly supported here, so we are entitled to use them. “High in fibre” first: the regulatory threshold is 6 g per 100 g, and this product provides 10 to 11. “Low in sugars” next: the threshold is 5 g per 100 g for a solid food, and we are at 1.1 g. These are verifiable facts, not sales arguments.
A third one deserves a caveat. “Source of protein” requires protein to supply at least 12% of the energy value: 12 g at 4 kcal makes 48 kcal out of 377, i.e. 12.7%. The threshold is cleared, but only just. Put another way, oats provide protein, but they are not a protein source in the sense you have in mind: 6 g in a 50 g serving replaces no shake.
The figure that really defines this product is the ratio of 60 g of carbohydrates to 1.1 g of sugars. Almost all of the carbohydrate content is starch, accompanied by 10 to 11 g of fibre. That is what sets oat flour apart from maltodextrin: you get the energy with substance, not with sugar. Note in passing the 7 g of fat per 100 g, higher than a cream of rice — that is the cereal's natural fat, and it counts towards the calorie total.
How do you prepare Life Pro Instant Oats?
Dose: 100 g, or 8 to 9 level tablespoons, or 50 g for a more measured serving. Liquid: 250 to 350 ml of water, milk or plant-based drink. Timing: at breakfast, 60 to 90 minutes before your session, or as a snack. Frequency: 1 to 3 servings a day depending on your goal. Duration: none, this is a food.
A word about that 100 g serving, because it comes as a surprise: it represents 377 kcal, the equivalent of a proper meal. That makes sense for a mass-gaining breakfast, and is far too much for a snack. Most of our customers settle on 50 g, or 189 kcal, and that is a more realistic benchmark — adjust the liquid in the same proportions.
Fine-tuning the texture is the real pleasure of this product. At 250 ml per 100 g, you get a thick porridge to eat with a spoon. At 350 ml, a drink you can take from a shaker. The manufacturer suggests four preparations, all of which work: hot porridge (mix with hot milk, leave to swell for two to three minutes), overnight oats made the night before in the fridge, pancakes with an egg and a pinch of baking powder, or a smoothie in the blender with fruit.
On timing, the 60 to 90 minutes before your session benchmark is the only one that calls for discipline. With 10 to 11 g of fibre per 100 g, a large serving swallowed thirty minutes before training will not sit well. If you train early, cut the dose rather than bringing the timing forward.
Reseal the pouch carefully after each use and store it somewhere dry: a fine flour picks up moisture and clumps together.
Who is this oat flour for, and who is it not for?
It is aimed first at those who struggle to get their carbohydrates up: limited appetite, breakfasts eaten on the run, days with no time to cook. Drinking 377 kcal of complex carbohydrates is considerably easier than eating the equivalent in whole rolled oats. It also suits those who cook: the fineness of the milling makes it a flour you can use directly in pancakes or a cake.
It contains GLUTEN — oats, and wheat in the flavours containing biscuit. Traces of MILK, EGG, SOYA and PEANUTS are possible. The manufacturer notes that the sucralose present in the flavoured versions may have a laxative effect if consumed in excess. Keep out of reach of young children.
It is not suitable for people with coeliac disease: even in the unflavoured version, oats are a gluten-containing ingredient under this labelling, and this is not a mere trace. Nor is it suitable immediately before a session, or for a gut that is very sensitive to fibre: 10 g per 100 g is a lot if you are not used to it. Build up gradually.
What you should not expect from it. This is not a protein source: 6 g in a 50 g serving does not count towards a protein total, and you need to pair it with a protein if that is your goal. Nor is it a weight-loss product — 377 kcal per 100 g is dense energy that goes down easily, which is exactly the opposite of what you want in a strict deficit. And there is nothing magical about oats: this is finely milled oats. Its value lies in convenience and texture, not in any superiority over a bowl of rolled oats.
Oat flour or sweet potato flour?
Both are powdered carbohydrate sources you prepare yourself, and the question comes up often at the counter. It is settled on taste and on sugars, not on any nutritional superiority.
Sweet potato flour provides considerably more naturally occurring sugars — often around 12 g per 100 g against 1.1 g here — and a sweetness that all but removes the need to sweeten it. It is the better choice if you cook, in cakes and pancakes, or if you want a carbohydrate source with some taste to it without adding flavouring. It does, however, provide less fibre and less protein.
Oats win on three points: fibre, at 10-11 g per 100 g, the discretion of the sugars, at 1.1 g, and the satiety that comes with it. It is the better option for a breakfast that lasts until midday and for a pre-workout meal taken an hour and a half in advance. If, on the other hand, you are after a very easily digested carbohydrate source to take just before or during exercise, neither one fits: cream of rice or fast carbohydrates are where you should be looking. For mass gain, the two combine very well within the same day.
Frequently asked questions
Hot water or cold water?
Both work, unlike with a cream of rice. In hot liquid, the flour swells in two to three minutes and gives a thick porridge. In cold liquid, the very fine milling allows a lump-free shake, or overnight oats made the night before in the fridge. That is the real advantage of an instant oat flour over whole rolled oats.
Isn't 100 g an enormous serving?
It is the manufacturer's reference serving, and it represents 377 kcal, in other words a proper meal. For a snack or a light breakfast, 50 g is more than enough — 189 kcal, 30 g of carbohydrates and 5 g of fibre. Adjust the liquid in the same proportions, around 150 ml for 50 g.
How many servings are there in a pouch?
The net weight does not appear in the labelling data supplied to us; the manufacturer states a 1.6 kg format, which would represent 16 servings of 100 g or 32 servings of 50 g. Check the weight printed on the pouch and do the division — that is the only reliable figure.
Does the product contain gluten?
Yes. Oats are labelled here as containing gluten, and the flavours that include biscuit pieces add wheat flour and wheat starch. In cases of coeliac disease, this product is not suitable, even in the unflavoured version.
Is the composition the same for every flavour?
No, and this matters. The unflavoured version contains nothing but oat flour. The others add cocoa, flavourings, sweetener and sometimes biscuit pieces, which shifts the nutritional values and the allergen list. The figures on this page are averages: refer to the label of the flavour you receive.
Can it be mixed with protein?
Yes, and it is in fact the most common use, and the most sensible one: the oats provide the carbohydrates, the protein provides what they lack. Prepare the flour first if you are using hot liquid, let it cool for a minute, then add the powder — poured into a scalding liquid, a whey can curdle.
How long before training?
Sixty to ninety minutes, going by the manufacturer's guidance, and that interval is not negotiable upwards in volume. The 10 to 11 g of fibre per 100 g make a large serving hard to digest during exercise. If you train early in the morning, reduce the dose to 30 or 40 g instead.
Where can you buy Life Pro Instant Oats?
The flavours can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. In a pouch this size, the choice of flavour matters more than you might think: you will be eating it for several weeks.
At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is typically the product where we advise starting with the most neutral version. A Brownie or ChocOreo-Nut flavour is enjoyable in the first bowl and tiresome by the twentieth, whereas a discreet base can be cooked in any direction you like and never goes stale in the cupboard.
Who is LifePro Nutrition?
LifePro Nutrition — also written as Life Pro in two words on labels — is a Spanish sports nutrition brand, published by the company Life Pro Nutrition Spain S.L. It is well-established in its domestic market, where it is among the brands found everywhere, and it is entering France through specialized retailers rather than mass distribution.
Its positioning is not that of a micronutrition laboratory or a spectacular pre-workout brand. Life Pro has made a name for itself in a more down-to-earth and daily niche: sports grocery. Flavored oat flours, instant rice creams, spreads, and elaborately flavored proteins. These are products consumed daily, in the kitchen, and not powders taken three times a week before a workout.
This is exactly why we stock it. The carbohydrate aisle is where brands resemble each other the most: maltodextrin, dextrose, rice flour. Life Pro brings a texture and flavors that make a difference over time, because a porridge that is effortlessly consumed is a porridge that continues to be prepared in March as in October.
What is the value of the LifePro range?
The brand is strong where it has built its reputation: kitchen carbohydrates. Instant oat flours and pre-cooked rice creams are finely milled, dissolve without lumps, and come in a number of flavors that few competitors can match. Technique matters more here than one might think: poorly milled oat flour clumps, non-pregelatinized rice cream requires actual cooking. Life Pro handles both of these points correctly.
What it does less well, at least from a French perspective: the actual available product range depth. In the Spanish market, the catalog is very wide — proteins, creatines, micronutrition, snacks. What crosses the border and is found on shelves at French retailers is much narrower, and this is the case for us. There's no point in boasting about a complete range if we don't sell it.
A second reservation, less a weakness than a context to be aware of: these products are flavored and sweetened. Sucralose is present in most flavored references. If you are looking for a raw, unflavored ingredient, this is not the right label — look instead for neutral versions, or an additive-free maltodextrin and cyclic dextrin.
What LifePro products do we stock?
Our Life Pro selection is deliberately focused on what the brand does best: the two basic carbohydrate sources for athletes.
Life Pro Tasty Rice — instant rice cream
This is a pregelatinized rice flour, steam pre-cooked, which mixes with hot water, milk, or a plant-based drink without needing to be cooked in a saucepan. The benefits are twofold. First, digestibility: rice is one of the best-tolerated carbohydrate sources, and pre-cooking removes the heaviness of raw flour. Second, ease of use: depending on the amount of liquid, you get a liquid porridge to drink or a thick cream to eat with a spoon. The 1 kg format corresponds to about twenty 50g servings. The product is gluten-free and sweetened with sucralose. The full range is here: rice cream.
LifePro Instant Oats — instant oat flour
Same logic, different cereal. The grind is very fine, allowing it to be dispersed in a shaker without a blender. The values announced by the brand are around 377 kcal, 60g carbohydrates, 12g protein, 10 to 11g fiber, and 1.1g sugars per 100g. The resealable 1.6 kg packaging is designed for daily use. Flavors range from neutral to dessert versions, and the neutral version remains the most versatile in cooking. Please note: oats contain gluten, and the product is manufactured in a facility that also processes milk, soy, eggs, and peanuts. The full range: oat flour.
These two products are not mutually exclusive; they are distributed throughout the day: oats in the morning or several hours before exercise for their fiber content and more gradual release, rice cream closer to or immediately after a session, when easily digestible carbohydrates are desired. Both can be easily integrated into a mass gain strategy or a homemade hard gainer breakfast, mixed with protein powder and peanut butter.
Our retailer's opinion
What works. In its niche, Life Pro delivers on its promises. The fineness of the grind and solubility are above average for the category, and the price per kilo remains reasonable for a flavored product. For products consumed daily, palatability is not a marketing detail: it's what determines whether the tub is finished or ends up at the back of the cupboard.
The main limitation, and it is real: for us, the range is limited to two carbohydrate references. Don't come here looking for Life Pro whey, Life Pro creatine, or their micronutrition — we don't have them, and we won't describe products we don't sell just to flesh out a page. If your goal is to build all your supplementation under a single label, this brand is not the right starting point for us: look instead at a deep range like IO Genix.
Two other reservations. These products are sweetened with sucralose, which deters some customers looking for a raw ingredient. And for the most elaborate flavors, the ingredient list lengthens — biscuit inclusions, cocoa, flavorings. These are excellent functional foods, they are not minimalist products. Read the label of the flavor you choose, it varies from one variation to another.
LifePro or IO Genix?
The question genuinely arises, as both brands are Spanish and both offer rice cream and oat flour. IO Genix covers a much broader catalog: proteins, creatines, amino acids, vitamins, fat burners. If you want to centralize, the advantage clearly goes to them.
In the specific area of flavored carbohydrates, Life Pro holds its own and often wins on flavor variety and texture. IO Genix offers oats in a neutral version and a flavored version, whereas Life Pro offers an extended choice. In practice: if taste is what keeps you going over time, Life Pro. If you want a single brand for your entire cupboard, IO Genix. And if you are looking for a carbohydrate base without any flavor, neither one: take unflavored maltodextrin or waxy maize.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is LifePro a good brand?
For kitchen carbohydrates — rice cream, oat flour — yes, it's a good brand, and that's what we stock it for. We don't have retailer experience with its proteins or micronutrition, as we don't sell them: so we won't pass judgment on them.
What is the best LifePro product?
Tasty Rice, if you're looking for easily digestible carbohydrates around your workout. Instant Oats, if your need is a filling, fiber-rich breakfast. The choice depends on the time of day, not on a hierarchy of quality between the two.
Rice cream or oat flour: which to choose?
Both provide complex carbohydrates, but not at the same time. Oat flour is richer in fiber and protein, more filling, and slower to digest: it's for breakfast, or a meal several hours before a session. Rice cream is almost fiber-free and digests very quickly: it's for a pre-session bowl when only an hour remains, or for after. If you're hesitant and only want to buy one, choose oats, which are more versatile for daily use; if you have a sensitive stomach during exercise or a gluten intolerance, choose rice.
How to prepare rice cream and with how much liquid?
The simplest guide: approximately 50g of powder for 200 to 250ml of hot liquid for a spoonable cream, up to 350ml for a drinkable version. Pour the liquid first, then sprinkle in the powder while stirring: the reverse will create lumps. The texture continues to thicken one to two minutes after mixing, so don't add more powder too quickly. When cold, it can also be prepared in a shaker and makes a good porridge base to store in the refrigerator. Add protein powder afterwards, never to boiling liquid, where it will coagulate.
Where to buy LifePro in France?
From specialized sports nutrition retailers, online and in-store — the brand is not distributed in supermarkets in France. We stock it on our shelves and ship throughout France and Europe.
Life Pro and LifePro, is it the same brand?
Yes. Both spellings refer to the same Spanish brand; "Life Pro Nutrition" in full letters is also found. This has no impact on the product.
Are LifePro products gluten-free?
It depends on the reference. Tasty Rice cream is naturally gluten-free. Instant Oats, made from oats, contains gluten and is manufactured in a facility that also processes milk, soy, eggs, and peanuts. Always check the label of the exact flavor.
Does rice cream need to be cooked?
No, that's the whole point of pregelatinized flour: it's already pre-cooked with steam. Hot liquid and a spoon are sufficient. Classic rice flour, however, requires actual cooking.
Are LifePro products suitable for tested athletes?
No food supplement can be considered risk-free by default. If you are subject to anti-doping controls, verify lot by lot with the manufacturer and refer to the AFLD list of prohibited substances. We do not claim any third-party anti-doping certification for this range.
How to recognize an authentic LifePro product?
Go through a declared retailer. The warning signs of marketplaces apply here as elsewhere: prices far below the market, labeling in only one foreign language without French mention, short expiration date, seller without a physical address.
Where to see the range near Montpellier?
The Life Pro references we list here are presented in our Vendargues store, about ten minutes from Montpellier. For oat flour or rice cream, the question that comes up at the counter is never the composition: it's "which flavor should I choose?". Seeing the tubs and discussing for two minutes resolves the issue faster than half an hour of reading online reviews.
If you can't visit, everything can be ordered here and we ship throughout France and Europe. Our complete sports nutrition guide also details how to integrate these carbohydrates into your day.
Food supplements are part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. They are not a substitute for medical advice.

IO Genix offers oats in a neutral version and a flavored version, whereas Life Pro offers an extended choice. In practice: if taste is what keeps you going over time, Life Pro. If you want a single brand for your entire cupboard, IO Genix. And if you are looking for a carbohydrate base without any flavor, neither one: take unflavored maltodextrin or waxy maize.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is LifePro a good brand?
For kitchen carbohydrates — rice cream, oat flour — yes, it's a good brand, and that's what we stock it for. We don't have retailer experience with its proteins or micronutrition, as we don't sell them: so we won't pass judgment on them.
What is the best LifePro product?
Tasty Rice, if you're looking for easily digestible carbohydrates around your workout. Instant Oats, if your need is a filling, fiber-rich breakfast. The choice depends on the time of day, not on a hierarchy of quality between the two.
Rice cream or oat flour: which to choose?
Both provide complex carbohydrates, but not at the same time. Oat flour is richer in fiber and protein, more filling, and slower to digest: it's for breakfast, or a meal several hours before a session. Rice cream is almost fiber-free and digests very quickly: it's for a pre-session bowl when only an hour remains, or for after. If you're hesitant and only want to buy one, choose oats, which are more versatile for daily use; if you have a sensitive stomach during exercise or a gluten intolerance, choose rice.
How to prepare rice cream and with how much liquid?
The simplest guide: approximately 50g of powder for 200 to 250ml of hot liquid for a spoonable cream, up to 350ml for a drinkable version. Pour the liquid first, then sprinkle in the powder while stirring: the reverse will create lumps. The texture continues to thicken one to two minutes after mixing, so don't add more powder too quickly. When cold, it can also be prepared in a shaker and makes a good porridge base to store in the refrigerator. Add protein powder afterwards, never to boiling liquid, where it will coagulate.
Where to buy LifePro in France?
From specialized sports nutrition retailers, online and in-store — the brand is not distributed in supermarkets in France. We stock it on our shelves and ship throughout France and Europe.
Life Pro and LifePro, is it the same brand?
Yes. Both spellings refer to the same Spanish brand; "Life Pro Nutrition" in full letters is also found. This has no impact on the product.
Are LifePro products gluten-free?
It depends on the reference. Tasty Rice cream is naturally gluten-free. Instant Oats, made from oats, contains gluten and is manufactured in a facility that also processes milk, soy, eggs, and peanuts. Always check the label of the exact flavor.
Does rice cream need to be cooked?
No, that's the whole point of pregelatinized flour: it's already pre-cooked with steam. Hot liquid and a spoon are sufficient. Classic rice flour, however, requires actual cooking.
Are LifePro products suitable for tested athletes?
No food supplement can be considered risk-free by default. If you are subject to anti-doping controls, verify lot by lot with the manufacturer and refer to the AFLD list of prohibited substances. We do not claim any third-party anti-doping certification for this range.
How to recognize an authentic LifePro product?
Go through a declared retailer. The warning signs of marketplaces apply here as elsewhere: prices far below the market, labeling in only one foreign language without French mention, short expiration date, seller without a physical address.
Where to see the range near Montpellier?
The Life Pro references we list here are presented in our Vendargues store, about ten minutes from Montpellier. For oat flour or rice cream, the question that comes up at the counter is never the composition: it's "which flavor should I choose?". Seeing the tubs and discussing for two minutes resolves the issue faster than half an hour of reading online reviews.
If you can't visit, everything can be ordered here and we ship throughout France and Europe. Our complete sports nutrition guide also details how to integrate these carbohydrates into your day.

Questions fréquentes — Life Pro Nutrition
LifePro, est-ce une bonne marque ?
Sur les glucides de cuisine — crème de riz, farine d'avoine — oui, c'est une très bonne marque, et c'est là-dessus que nous la référençons.
Quel est le meilleur produit LifePro ?
Le Tasty Rice, si vous cherchez des glucides faciles à digérer autour de l'entraînement. L'Instant Oats, si votre besoin est un petit-déjeuner rassasiant et riche en fibres. Le choix se fait sur le moment de la journée.
Crème de riz ou farine d'avoine : laquelle choisir ?
Les deux apportent des glucides complexes, mais pas au même moment. La farine d'avoine est plus riche en fibres et en protéines, plus rassasiante et plus longue à digérer : c'est le petit-déjeuner, ou un repas plusieurs heures avant la séance. La crème de riz est presque dépourvue de fibres et passe très vite : c'est le bol d'avant-séance quand il ne reste qu'une heure, ou celui d'après. Si vous n'en achetez qu'une, prenez l'avoine, plus polyvalente au quotidien ; si vous avez l'estomac sensible à l'effort ou une intolérance au gluten, prenez le riz.
Comment préparer la crème de riz et avec combien de liquide ?
Le repère le plus simple : environ 50 g de poudre pour 200 à 250 ml de liquide chaud pour une crème à la cuillère, jusqu'à 350 ml pour une version à boire. Versez le liquide en premier, puis la poudre en pluie en remuant : l'inverse fait des grumeaux. La texture continue d'épaissir une à deux minutes après le mélange, ne rajoutez donc pas de poudre trop vite. À froid, elle se prend aussi au shaker et fait une base de porridge à laisser au réfrigérateur. Ajoutez la protéine en poudre après coup, jamais dans le liquide brûlant, où elle coagule.
Où acheter LifePro en France ?
Chez les détaillants spécialisés en nutrition sportive, en ligne et en magasin. Nous la référençons en rayon et nous expédions partout en France et en Europe.
Life Pro et LifePro, est-ce la même marque ?
Oui. Les deux graphies désignent la même marque ; on trouve aussi « Life Pro Nutrition » en toutes lettres. Cela n'a aucune incidence sur le produit.
Les produits LifePro sont-ils sans gluten ?
Cela dépend de la référence. La crème de riz Tasty Rice est naturellement sans gluten. L'Instant Oats, à base d'avoine, contient du gluten et est fabriquée dans un atelier traitant lait, soja, œufs et arachides. Vérifiez toujours l'étiquette de la saveur exacte.
La crème de riz doit-elle être cuite ?
Non, c'est tout l'intérêt d'une farine prégélatinisée : elle est déjà précuite à la vapeur. Un liquide chaud et une cuillère suffisent. Une farine de riz classique, elle, demande une vraie cuisson.
Les produits LifePro conviennent-ils aux sportifs contrôlés ?
Si vous êtes soumis aux contrôles antidopage, vérifiez lot par lot auprès du fabricant et référez-vous à la liste des substances interdites de l'AFLD. Nous ne revendiquons aucune certification antidopage tierce sur cette gamme.
