HR Labs Cream Of Carbs: Rice and Oats Carb Blend

HR Labs Launches Oat & Rice Carb Blend

If you train seriously, carb timing matters. Getting a fast-digesting, easy-on-the-stomach carb source in before or after a session can make a real difference to performance and recovery — but most options on the market are either plain cream of rice with one flavour worth eating, or carb powders loaded with things you don’t necessarily need. There’s a gap for something that does the job simply and actually tastes decent.

That’s exactly where HR Labs are pitching Cream Of Carbs. Rather than going with straight cream of rice like most, they’ve blended it 50/50 with wholegrain oats — giving you 25g of carbohydrates per 28g serving from two clean, easy-to-digest sources. The oat side of things adds a bit more nutritional depth too, with extra fibre and micronutrients you won’t get from rice alone.

Four flavours are launching: Vanilla Ice Cream, Double Chocolate Chunk, Salted Caramel, and Custard Creams. The tub size is a generous 2.28kg — 80 servings — which should keep the cost per serving very reasonable. Pricing is yet to be confirmed but it’s launching in March 2026.

For those not familiar with HR Labs, they’re a UK brand that’s built a solid reputation for well-formulated products without the usual marketing noise. From their pre-workout Defib to their fat burner Fever, they have a track record of putting out products that actually do what they say. Cream Of Carbs looks like more of the same — straightforward, honest, and made for people who just want something that works.

One to bookmark ahead of the March launch, particularly if you’re after a cream of rice alternative that brings a bit more to the table.
