What is Cream of Rice?
Cream of Rice is a finely milled rice based product that is mixed with liquid to create a smooth cereal style meal.
Supplement Needs Cream of Rice is made using instantised rice flour and can be prepared with freshly boiled water, microwaved, mixed with cold liquid or consumed from a shaker when convenience is the main priority.
Unlike a complete meal or protein powder, its primary nutritional role is to provide carbohydrate. Each standard serving contains 23g carbohydrate but only 2.4g protein, so customers wanting a more balanced carbohydrate and protein meal may choose to add a separate protein source.
Why choose Supplement Needs Cream of Rice?
23g carbohydrate per serving
Each 30g serving provides 23g carbohydrate and 106 kcal, making the portion easy to track within a structured nutrition plan.
Flexible serving size
The standard serving is 30g, but the amount can be adjusted according to appetite, daily carbohydrate intake and the wider meal.
Based on the current label values:
30g serving
23g carbohydrate
106 kcal
60g serving:
46g carbohydrate
212 kcal
90g serving
69g carbohydrate
318 kcal
The 60g and 90g figures are calculated from the stated 30g nutritional values, so minor rounding differences may occur.
Large 2kg tub
Every tub contains 2kg of powder and provides 66 standard 30g servings.
Hot or cold preparation
Cream of Rice can be made with boiling water, cold water, milk or a milk alternative. It may also be cooked in a microwave or mixed in a shaker when time is limited.
Three flavoured options
The current range includes:
- Cookie Dough
- Birthday Cake
- Salted Caramel
All three use the same core rice based format, so product choice can be led mainly by flavour preference.
How to prepare Cream of Rice
Hot preparation
For one standard serving:
- Place 30g Cream of Rice into a bowl.
- Add approximately 90ml freshly boiled water.
- Stir thoroughly until smooth.
- Add more liquid gradually for a thinner consistency.
- Allow it to cool before eating.
The current product directions use a three parts liquid to one part powder starting ratio.
Microwave preparation
Cream of Rice can also be prepared in a microwave.
Mix the powder and liquid in a microwave safe bowl, heat in short intervals and stir between each interval. Use a sufficiently large bowl because the mixture can rise while heating.
Cooking time will vary according to serving size, microwave power and preferred consistency.
Cold preparation
Cream of Rice can be mixed with:
- cold water
- milk
- a dairy free milk alternative
- yoghurt, where a thicker texture is preferred
- a ready-made protein shake
Add liquid gradually and mix until the desired consistency is reached.
Powder can be mixed in a shaker for convenience.
Which flavour should I choose?
Cookie Dough - A sweet bakery style flavour suitable for mixing with chocolate, caramel or vanilla additions
Birthday Cake - A sweeter dessert-style option
Salted Caramel - A caramel profile that pairs naturally with chocolate or vanilla protein powder
Choose Cookie Dough
Best for customers who prefer a bakery inspired flavour.
Choose Birthday Cake
Best for customers looking for the sweetest dessert style option.
Choose Salted Caramel
Best for customers who prefer a caramel based flavour profile.
Cream of Rice with protein powder
Cream of Rice is primarily a carbohydrate product rather than a high protein food. A standard serving provides 23g carbohydrate and 2.4g protein.
Customers wanting a carbohydrate and protein meal can combine it with a separate protein powder such as:
- Whey ISO+
- Prot3in Fusion
- Vegan ISO+
Whey ISO+ is the higher protein isolate option, while Prot3in Fusion combines whey concentrate, egg white protein and micellar casein in a multi source blend.
Simple preparation guide
Prepare the Cream of Rice first and allow it to cool slightly before stirring in protein powder.
Adding whey directly to an extremely hot or very thick mixture can make the final texture more difficult to control. Whey powder contains some moisture and can alter the final consistency.

Smaller serving
- 30g Cream of Rice
