Jason Walsh, one of the most sought-after celebrity trainers in the entertainment industry, faced a dilemma when it came to finding the best protein powder. You’d think the guy training Hollywood’s biggest names would have a go-to. He didn’t. He had a list of plant-based protein powders he tolerated and a longer list he’d stopped recommending. Gritty texture, metallic aftertaste, and digestive issues that could clear a room. Plant-based protein powder had somehow perfected the art of being bad at everything simultaneously.
“When you train actors for shirtless scenes or to look good on film, bloating isn’t an option,” Walsh says. “My clients were committed to training hard, which meant increasing protein intake, but every plant protein on the market left them uncomfortable. They were too gritty, had a terrible aftertaste, or triggered uncomfortable digestive issues that killed their confidence.”
When Walsh couldn’t find a protein powder that met his standards, he set out to build one. The result is RISE311, a craft protein formulated to deliver performance without compromise.
“It took 311 iterations to get it right,” Walsh says. “Most brands get to version three and call it done. We got to three hundred and eleven, which is less ‘product development’ and more ‘clinical obsession with a business case.’ RISE311 gets the job done with zero compromises. It has a smooth texture, natural sweetness, and zero digestive issues. No bloating, no grit, and no nasty aftertaste; just optimized performance.”
RISE311 satisfies Jason Walsh’s relentless quest for quality
Walsh is renowned for transforming Hollywood’s elite into the physical powerhouses they need to become to embody the heroes they play on the big screen. His client roster reads like a marquee: Pedro Pascal, Brie Larson, Allison Brie, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lawrence, Matt Damon, and many more. Hollywood stars seek out Walsh because they trust his rigorous, science-backed programs to achieve dramatic physical transformations under tight production timelines.
But Walsh’s mission in the world of fitness extends beyond the red carpet. He is a relentless advocate for quality, known not only for his unmatched training results but also for his integrity in cutting through fitness fads and supplement hype. It was that integrity that fueled the development of RISE311, the first and only craft protein designed to meet the real performance and recovery needs of working professionals, athletes, and anyone serious about results.
“With RISE311, we’ve really crafted the impossible,” Walsh says. “It’s a complete plant-based protein that’s easily digestible, environmentally responsible, and uncompromising on taste, texture, and quality.”
RISE311 is complete nutrition that works
RISE311’s unique ability to deliver performance without compromise stems from the specific formula Walsh and his team developed. By building on pea protein and barley rice protein, RISE311 can deliver the nine essential amino acids the body needs to benefit from training. And by avoiding animal products, RISE311 delivers without digestive issues.
RISE311 earns a perfect 1.0 PDCAAS, the same score as whey. And it delivers 3 grams of leucine per serving, the threshold your body needs to trigger muscle protein synthesis (i.e., grow or maintain muscle).
“That’s not marketing,” Walsh says. “That’s measurable.”
RISE311 improves fitness results without the nonsense
Just as important as what RISE311 provides is what it avoids. For example, its three-step development process, which includes sprouting its barley protein, fermenting its pea protein, and mixing in a powerful enzyme blend, means RISE311 avoids the digestion issues that cause bloating.
“In addition to making RISE311 easy to digest, our powder’s enzyme blend hydrolyzes the protein in your digestive tract,” Walsh explains. “It’s a process that ensures muscles are flooded with the amino acids they need at the right moment, which puts muscle repair on a fast track.”
Regarding ingredients, RISE311 makes sure its users aren’t exposed to the heavy metals that have been identified as a problem with many protein powders. The brand is manufactured in an NSF GMP-certified facility and is about to complete Informed Sports certification. Ingredients are locally sourced from farms that use high-quality soil to produce high-quality protein, and every batch is lab-tested by a third party for heavy metals and banned substances to ensure the ingredients are safe and pure.
“RISE311 is fundamentally different from most of the powders on the market because our process starts with choosing the right ingredients,” Walsh shares. “We use best-in-class ingredients and craft in small batches without cutting any corners or taking any shortcuts. Where most protein powder brands optimize for margin, we optimize for what actually goes into your body.”
RISE311’s texture is smooth, meaning there’s no settling, no grit, and no clumps. And because it only uses Reb-M, the sweetness is clean, avoiding the nasty aftertaste found in many powders that use cheap stevias or monk fruit. That’s what you get when a protein powder is formulated for humans, not margins. It mixes clean in water and holds its body in protein shake recipes that go beyond the post-workout shake.
“We chose against organic pea protein on purpose,” says Walsh. “Most organic protein powder is sourced from China, where soil pollution means higher heavy metal levels. Protein powder is processed, so the risk of pesticides making it into the powder is actually very low.”
As Walsh explains, this means that the word “organic” on a protein powder label is more marketing than science. “We source USA-grown pea protein from high-quality soil instead, and every batch tests clean,” he says.
“RISE311 is a protein solution I can stand behind,” Walsh concludes. “It provides 30 grams of protein that digests clean, tastes natural, and delivers results without the compromise. Scoop for scoop, no other protein powder is even close.”
