What is rice cream?
Rice cream is a food preparation made from pre-cooked rice flour. Pre-cooking reduces the cooking time compared to classic rice, making it an ideal choice for athletes and anyone looking for a quick carbohydrate intake.
Rice: a natural ingredient and source of carbohydrates
Rice, the main ingredient in rice cream, is a natural source of complex carbohydrates. These carbohydrates play an essential role in the body's functioning:
- They contribute to the maintenance of normal brain functions,
- They contribute to muscle recovery, particularly the normal contraction of muscles after intense and/or prolonged effort.
Carbohydrates: an essential macronutrient
After prolonged or very intense physical exertion, glycogen reserves in skeletal muscles decrease. Carbohydrate consumption then becomes important for restoring these reserves.
Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after very intense and/or prolonged physical exertion causing muscle fatigue and a decrease in glycogen reserves in skeletal muscles.
Good to know: it is recommended to ingest carbohydrates, from all sources, at a total dose of 4 g per kg of body weight, divided into fractional intakes for muscle recovery. These intakes should begin within the first four hours following exertion, and no later than six hours after it.
Thanks to its light texture and richness in complex carbohydrates, Io Genix rice cream is a particularly suitable option for meeting these nutritional needs.

You can also prepare it in the microwave: mix the powder with cold water or milk, then heat for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring halfway through cooking.
