When Patty McPeak was three years old, she had a vision. A vision that told her she was meant to change the world. At first, she thought perhaps she was meant to solve the world’s hunger problem. Nothing was going to get in her way - her mission was big.

Along the course of her journey, she came across a discovery of one of the world’s most powerful foods. Rice bran, which had previously been used as a by-product in production of other foods, has essentially been a wasted food source, with over sixty million tonnes going to waste every year. McPeak realized how much potential there was in this wasted food and came up with the healthy meal replacement called Rice n Shine.

Rice n Shine is made from Rice Bran. Rice bran is from brown rice, and is removed from the rice kernel during processing and production. McPeak developed a method of separating a particular enzyme from the rice which, when removed, stabilizes the rice bran, enabling it to have a shelf life of about three years. Rice n Shine is a meal replacement and comes in powdered form, as a mixer to drink.

This powder is on the market with vanilla, Dutch chocolate, and original flavors, all packaged in handy foil punch. Simply mix 7 ounces of water, milk, or fruit juice with two scoops of this powder, and a tasty healthy meal replacement results. It’s easy to make, easy to drink, and easy to digest.

Each Rice n Shine packet is crammed full of 120 antioxidants, minerals, vitamin E, a broad range of B vitamins, good (healthy) fats, protein and fiber. It’s particularly good for the health of your heart, and to replenish you system when you have progressive degenerative disorders.

You should continue this program for two to three months to ensure that you are getting your money’s worth, according to McPeak’s own advice. Since each pouch contains 22 ounces or a little over 20 servings’ worth, one pouch will last for quite some time.

Over 60 million tons of rice bran are discarded every year, and the nutrients the bran contains are lost forever. Patty McPeak decided to put an end to this terrible waste by creating a new healthy meal replacement, Rice N Shine, that would use these nutrients to improve the world’s diet The meal is made with healthy rice bran, which is extracted from the rice kernel part of brown rice. McPeak has created a way of actually removing a certain enzyme contained in brown rice that enables the rice bran to stay shelf stable for three years so that you can safely store the meal in your pantry.
