Rich Piana 5% Nutrition Real Carbs® is a complex carbohydrate powder utilizing high-quality, whole-food carbohydrate sources with a low glycemic index, designed to help you meet your real food needs.
However, we understand that the idea of preparing 3 to 4 meals a day doesn't always work for many people. Many people lead active lifestyles and simply don't have enough time to prepare or eat enough quality, real food meals. Real Carbs® is an innovative, whole food-based product designed to help you get the nutrients you need to grow easily and quickly.
Real Carbs® is a complex carbohydrate powder that consists of sweet potatoes, oatmeal, yams and powdered blueberries. This combination is mostly low on the glycemic index , providing 22 grams of carbohydrates per serving with only 2 grams of sugar. Real Carbs® comes in several delicious flavors, including sweet potato pie, blueberry cake, strawberry shortcake and banana nut bread. Enjoy it several times a day as a meal or pre/post workout, especially when paired with a great complete source of protein.
Sweet potato
Sweet potatoes are a staple in the diets of many bodybuilders and athletes due to their nutritional profile, delicious taste, and the fact that they are considered a low glycemic index carbohydrate. Sweet potatoes originate from America and contain high amounts of calcium, potassium, phosphorus, B vitamins, vitamin A, and vitamin C. They also provide fiber and add sweetness to the taste.
Oatmeal
This is plain rolled oats, another staple in the diets of many bodybuilders and athletes. Oats are a low glycemic index carbohydrate that is also high in important minerals and fiber. The combination of these three carbohydrate sources creates an exceptional true nutritional carbohydrate powder that sets a new standard in the industry.
Wild sweet potato
Often confused with sweet potatoes, they are not the same thing. While both are tuber vegetables, yams are not as nutrient-dense or as sweet. They provide good sources of minerals like potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, as well as vitamin C, and are another low-glycemic carbohydrate found in the diets of many bodybuilders and athletes.
Blueberry fruit powder
Blueberries complement the overall flavor of Real Carbs® , but they are one of the most nutritious fruits available. They are high in manganese, vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber, as well as an exceptionally rich source of antioxidants. The cognitive and cardiovascular health benefits of blueberries are largely attributed to a type of antioxidant known as flavonoids, specifically a flavonoid group called anthocyanins. The use of real food in Real Carbs® delivers exceptional health benefits that you won’t find in other types of carb powders and illustrates one of the main reasons Rich Piana was adamant about eating several whole grains throughout the day.
