Vega Protein and Greens Vanilla (25 Servings, 26.8 Ounce) - Vegan Plant Based Protein Powder Shake, Gluten Free, Non Dairy, Non Soy, Non GMO

Fast delivery, love this protein powder great taste mixes well and good value !!

I'm NOT a vegan but I've been using Vega protein and greens for a couple of years and when I see other products always hesitate with the thought of switching. I've found that most other proteins cause me to bloat, and give some intestinal discomfort. I've used protein powder for years and I just always thought that this was me and had no idea it was caused by the protein brands I was using until I switched. Now I only use Vega brand, and specifically Vega Protein and Greens because the vegan aspect has completely taken away the whey induced bloating I used to just deal with and veggies are a plus. I like the chocolate flavor and although it does have a hint of that chemical aftertaste, it's so much less than most other brands I've tried. Truly, I'm more of a texture person though and whereas many brands are gritty or grainy, Vega Protein and Greens is soft and powdery, almost fluffy. It's very fine. This is great for the texture in milk. It can, however, make it a little more difficult to blend into smoothies as it wants to turn to paste on the sides of the blender glass or float, rather than sink. I use it in smoothies regardless because it's really not that bad, it's just how it goes with that texture of powder (think cocoa powder, more like that). I love knowing that I'm getting veggies in with my protein in a smoothie, and if I need an extra boost of protein later I can just mix the powder with almond or cashew milk and it tastes fine that way, too (although I did notice it does mix more easily with cow's milk). There are other protein powders that provide a higher amount of protein per scoop, but this one is about average and the calories are low which I like. I would definitely recommend.

I’ve been using this protein powder for a few years now. I don’t know about the others, but I love the taste because I add peanut butter powder and I also add cocoa powder to my shake. So I think it taste pretty good. There is an aftertaste from the protein powder, but I don’t mind it as much because I do think it’s a really good tasting shake. I add to it , unsweetened almond milk and I also add a banana. I drink the shake every day and I absolutely love it. I think it’s a great quality shake, and the thickness is something you can control by adding more liquid or less. I add hot water to the powder to make it less clumpy and to get all the clumps out.

I ordered this product in an attempt to find a protein shake that I can buy that is less expensive than Optavia shakes but that tastes as good. First of all, as far as nutritional value, this VEGA shake has more calories, protein, fat, and sodium than Optavia. Not by a whole lot, but there are some differences. It has less sugar than Optavia. As far as taste, I prefer Optavia. However, the cost is only a third, so that is good. It mixes up well. No problem with that. (I use a small blender.) It says to use water, but I use about half water and half unsweetened vanilla almond milk and then prob 6 or 8 ice cubes. The first time, I did try it with just water and ice cubes. I had to do something to help it bc to me, it was a tad bitter and didn't have much of a good flavor. In my opinion, it is chocolatey, but it has a coconut taste too. Ok. I could drink it in plain water like that if i had to, but I'm sprucing it up some. Like I said, I'm using half almond milk which adds 30 calories. Then I add a teaspoon of truvia or Splenda and a very small shot of vanilla. (Like 1 or 2 drops!) Like this, it's good! I have not had any gut issues. It is gluten-free which is required for me. It does keep me full for a good 2 - 3 hours. I will probably order it again and again instead of getting the optavia shakes. It will definitely save me money in the long run. And for me, the differences in the nutritional value should not make much of a difference. In some cases, it may. (This shake costs 1/3 what Optavia shakes cost.)

Tastes great, good price, does not get clumpy in my smoothies, great protein and super greens, fast delivery. Will definitely purchase again.

As a weight lifter and breastfeeding mom who cannot have dairy products, finding a vegan protein with enough protein that tastes good was a chore. This is my morning and bedtime drink with some ice cubes or mixed into fruit and spinach smoothly it tastes so good. The fact it has mu superfoods and I dont have to buy those separate is a win for sure.

I tried Vega plant-based protein after finding out I’m lactose intolerant and switching away from regular whey. Unfortunately, this was a mistake. The taste is nothing like what many of the reviews claim. To me, it tastes like mud water — gritty, earthy, and extremely unpleasant. I was not able to return it, which made the experience even more frustrating. After this, I switched to whey protein isolate, which has been significantly better in both taste and digestion for me. Just sharing my honest experience for anyone considering plant-based protein as an alternative.

Decent flavor but chalky not clear protein. I'm sure it would be a great addition to fruit smoothies but as I like to drink my clear protein in water throughout the day, it doesn't work for my needs.
