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 am a 48 year old woman starting to go through perimenopause so if course, getting enough protein is my new job. I was looking for something that wasn’t terribly expensive, the ingredients look good (although I will admit I am no expert. The ingredient list seems good to me), and tastes good. I usually put protein powder in coffee but since this is berry, that would be weird. So I put it in Greek yogurt with blueberries the first day. The flavor was good but holy cow did it get thick!!! (It was in the fridge at work for about 4 hours). Then I tried it with just water. It’s so so good!!!! I used to use Shakeology and although I loved the vegan strawberry flavor, it was so expensive! This tastes to me exactly like Shakeology which is a very good thing but far more reasonable in price. It is the littlest bit gritty but it doesn’t bother me. If you are a texture person, it might bother you. Over all I would say this is a great product!
