Our split yellow peas are grown in pristine soil right here in the USA. They're then turned into a powder. Most pea proteins are finished here. But our pea protein goes through a patent-pending process that eliminates the usual texture and flavor associated with pea. Get ready for something totally different!
Our goal is to redefine the taste and texture of protein, and that means we need a smooth flavor palette to begin. The patent-pending process helps to make our pea protein smooth and creamy. It also removes some of the “off” tasting notes you might detect in other pea-based powders.
Better taste and texture means you'll look forward to having your protein. A creamier taste means you spend more time dreading your workout and less time dreading your protein drink.

Barley is renowned as an ancient grain, very beneficial to overall health, and contains all 9 essential amino acids. To create the concentrated barley protein in RISE311, the barley is sprouted and cold-temperature processed to create an ingredient that is 85% protein content. This ingredient retains many of the polyphenols and other antioxidant content of the barley grain. This plant-based protein is new and a total game-changer. Most plant-based proteins have a high viscosity, which is a fancy way of saying it creates a thick mess when mixed with water or milk, or blended in smoothies. The viscosity of our barley rice protein is so low, that when mixed in water the texture remains essentially the same as plain water. And the flavor is very light.
If you’ve ever had plant-based protein, you know it tends to be thick, with many off-notes in the flavor. Our barley rice protein transforms the protein experience. When mixed in water, it retains essentially the same viscosity as water. In other words, the water with the barley rice protein is essentially just as thin as plain water. It’s flavor is also uniquely light and delicate. And finally, it is an upcycled protein meaning it is amazingly eco friendly.
High in amino acids methionine and cysteine which perfectly balances out our amino acid profile. Mixed in the perfect ratio with our fermented pea protein, RISE311 scores a perfect 1.0 on the PDCAAS scale which measure the completeness of a protein. And the sprouting process also makes the barley significantly easier to digest. And the thinness of the barley along with its light flavor allow us to create a texture and flavor profile that is a game-changer in the protein space. You’ll see when you try it.

The bulk of our delectable chocolate flavor comes from our carefully sourced non-alkalized cocoa powder, because nothing brings out the flavor like the best culinary quality ingredients. But, to truly tease out all the various tasting notes in our crafted protein, we use truly natural flavor elements.
Our expert flavor crafters (gotta get the right word here) map out all the various flavor notes, and use essential oils, resins, and components from cocoa beans to tease out the subtle nuances of flavor. This process removes any off notes to perfectly balance the flavor profile. But we take pride in using truly natural flavors, so there is no usage of chemicals, irritants or other elements that can sometimes be found in natural flavors, let alone the awful ingredients found in artificial flavors.
Unmatched, complex, delicate flavor profiles across for RISE311. Without off notes. A smooth, creamy texture that’s hard to imagine. Customers often can’t believe they are getting 30 grams of protein per serving. They presume it’s closer to 5 grams based off the texture and flavor.

NATURAL, ORGANIC COCOA POWDER
Getting the right notes of chocolate flavor make all the difference to those of us who are chocolate lovers. Our culinary quality cocoa is natural, organic and non-alkalized. Our cocoa is natural, organic and non-alkalized.
Belgian and Swiss chocolate crafters are renowned for a reason. Opting for a rich chocolate flavor that combines complex notes of fudge brownie, sea salt, and smooth cream, with some of the simplicity of delightful chocolate milk or hot chocolate, requires choosing just the right type of cocoa. Our cacao powder is complex in flavor. For us, it need to be culinary quality and natural. One that didn’t go through the alkalizing process that removes so many of the antioxidants so richly found in the cacao bean, but still retains much of the richness. Our cocoa powder hits all those notes.
Because our cocoa comes from the highest quality cacao beans, and are minimally processed (without alkali), it is uniquely rich in the powerful polyphenols and other antioxidants unique to the cacao bean, and is one of the plant kingdom’s richest natural sources of magnesium. Cocoa has also been indicated in studies to potentially be supportive of heart and brain health. And, even helps stimulate a substance called PEA in your brain, which is probably why so many of us associate chocolate with happiness!

PROHYDROLASE® ENZYME BLEND
Taking protein in is only the first step. Your body then has to be able to break it down, digest it, and deliver the amino acids directly into your muscles where it does its magic. Some people are better than others at accomplishing this task, and we wanted to make sure it is equally accomplished by all. So we use the most powerful protease enzyme blend in existence. One that has been carefully studied to actually break down the protein in your digestive tract (it actually hydrolizes the protein for you, which is the fancy way of breaking protein down into its most digestible and usable form).
Taking protein in is only the first step. Your body then has to be able to break it down, digest it, and deliver the amino acids directly into your muscles where it does its magic. So we include the most powerful enzyme blend (plant-based protease blend) to help you get the most out of RISE311.
When you consume protein, your digestive tract hydrolizes it so it to release the amino acids so they can be absorbed and utilized by your muscles for growth and repair. Our enzyme blend is so powerful that it actually starts to hydrolize (pre-digest) RISE311 for you as soon as it’s mixed with water. It is so strong that you can actually notice that if you mix RISE311 with water and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes, you will start picking up some bitter notes, which is part of the hydrolysis process.
This enzyme blend means RISE311 is incredibly easy to digest. You’ll actually feel light and comfortable after drinking it, as opposed to the bloated, gassy feel many people notice after drinking their protein. It also means that you are getting the most out of your protein, because the amino acids will get taken up by your muscles rather than turning to sugar in your digestive tract.

We add a little bit of lecithin made from sunflower to RISE311 because it is a very healthy addition that has the benefit of making all the ingredients more soluble in water.
Our lecithin is made from sunflower seeds rather than from soy beans (as is so often the case). This make our lecithin hypoallergenic.
Lecithin potentially supports heart health, digestive health, and brain health. It’s also a rich source of the important B-vitamin choline. But it also serves another delightful benefit, which is it helps make all of our ingredients a bit more soluble in water so that RISE311 mixes in water quickly and easily.

When you taste Rise311, you’ll wonder how much sugar has been added in to get such a delectable flavor…and the answer is ZERO. We manage to craft our flavor simply using a delicate amount of our Reb-M stevia, which is the highest quality extract of stevia in existence. If you’ve ever had stevia and not like it, wait til you try this. You will not detect any hint of traditional stevia flavor because Reb-M is totally unique from the traditional stevia.
Almost all stevia you have tried comes from stevia using Reb-A (or maybe Reb-B) which is a non-caloric sweetening component found in the stevia plant. But Reb-A and Reb-B are abundant in stevia, relatively inexpensive to produce, and retain that traditional bitter aftertaste. Reb-M, however, is found is microscopic amounts in the stevia plant, and is very expensive to produce (which is why you likely will have never tried it in other products you have tried). But the flavor profile removes all traces of the traditional stevia flavor, leaving only a delightful taste that rounds out the flavor profile of RISE311. Wait til you try it.
Our Reb-M stevia allows RISE311 to have an incredibly nuanced and delectable flavor profile, without the addition of any added sugars or chemicals. The delicate sweetness brings out some of the flavor notes in our Dark Chocolate and Madagascar Vanilla flavors, but without being too sweet or overpowering, and with no hint of an unpleasant aftertaste.

Acacia gum is a plant-based fiber sourced naturally from acacia trees in tropical Africa.
Acacia gum is a plant-based fiber sourced naturally from acacia trees in tropical Africa.
This fiber helps create a smooth consistency and mouth feel when you drink Rise311, but it’s also beneficial to your digestive tract. It’s a healthy fiber source and studies show it acts as a powerful prebiotic that increases healthy bacteria in your gut such as strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.

Our uniquely beautiful pink salt crystals are mined in the hills of Utah and retain their natural crystal structures (they are not ground into fine powder). We use just a hint of these natural crystals to balance and harmonize all the dark chocolate flavor notes.
Unlike traditional table salt, our Utah pink mineral salt retain their mineral content which provides both nutritional content as well as a richer taste. This is why many world-class chefs use these pink salt crystals to lend beauty and flavor to culinary creations.
Our pink salt crystals get their beautiful coloring from their rich mineral content, including calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Even more, just the small hint of pink mineral salt helps balance your electrolytes after a tough workout, and helps keep you hydrated.

The most important of all amino acids for muscle building and recovery. This amino acid is absolutely essential for triggering muscle growth and recovery.
We are very careful in our sourcing of leucine. The best leucine uses a high quality and pure fermentation process. But, all too often, leucine is made with inferior fermentation or isolation methods, which results in a low quality amino acid. We spared no expense in sourcing what we consider to be the highest quality leucine manufactured anywhere in the world, which is carefully and precisely fermented, using no animal ingredients.
Studies show that approximately 3 grams of leucine is required per serving in order to trigger what’s called the anabolic threshold, which is a fancy way of saying maximizing lean muscle development and promoting recovery. Most protein supplements simply do not have enough leucine per serving to accomplish this.
