Vega All-in-One Nutrition Organic Vegan Protein Powder – French Vanilla, 20g Protein Meal Replacement Shake – 1.5 lbs (18 Servings)

Years before Starbucks started serving their Oleato drinks (olive-oil-infused coffee), I'd been mixing regular coffee with MCT oil after my workouts as part of my own personal Ritual of Rejuvenation. MCT oil helps your body burn fat more efficiently and is great for weight management. Mixed with coffee, it serves to give me a nice boost to my energy levels after vigorous HIIT and resistance training sessions. And unlike Oleato, one tablespoon of MCT oil dissolves well into a mug of coffee without overpowering it or turning it into an oily sludge. But the real star ingredient to my Rituals of Rejuvenation? Vega Organic Protein Powder! This stuff is just fan-freakin'-tastic! I get the French vanilla flavor and add 20 grams of it to a 10 oz mug of coffee + the aforementioned one tablespoon of MCT oil + half a cup of cold unsweetened vanilla almond milk. The result is a deliciously creamy, soothingly warm, Goldilocks-level-perfectly-sweet, highly nutritious concoction that makes my soul smile and my muscles go "Ahhhh!" Two such mugs after each workout and I've infused my body with 20 g of plant-based protein and a whole bunch of essential vitamins and minerals. Add to those two mugs a large banana and I've just had a very healthy, energy-giving meal that powers my body for the rest of the day. Each serving of Vega protein powder provides 50% of most B vitamins that your body needs every day, plus 50% of your body's recommended daily serving of vitamins C, D, & K. It's also a good source of vitamin A, Iron, and Manganese. The one downside that other reviewers have noted: Vega Organic is pricier than other protein powders out there, true. But given the high quality of ingredients, and the exceptionally expansive range of nutrients in each serving, PLUS the great taste (and total lack of chalkiness associated with many other protein powders), I'd say it's worth the higher price point. I'm a struggling artist hustling to make a living in an expensive city, but I budget my meager income to make sure I always have enough to afford this baby twice a month. That's how much I love this product and benefit from its use.

As a long time user of Vega, I do notice when I stop using it. For context, I have a morning smoothie with fruit, vega, etc most days. Recently I stopped ordering it for other reasons, and after around a week or so, definitely noticed longer to recover, and also got the flu - coincidence, maybe...but havent got had the flu for last 4 years. So, back on it. It is expensive, so do need to factor it into the budget, you do really need a blender to mix otherwise not most pleasant, and some of the flavors are odd, I just go with unsweetened and let the other ingredients add flavour. Overall, I would recommend it as part of a daily diet, particularly as a 50+ man, and athlete, it is worth the investment for me.

Best powder on the market - easy to digest and tastes great

So i this is a protein that takes some getting use to. For 3 months I’ve been eating clean which means no sugar or sugar substitutes. I don’t know if that’s why I feel this taste overwhelming sweet or what. I was using a vegan protein that was unflavored and only using banana as a sweetener. My first time using this protein I did it like I usually do with a half of a frozen banana, PBFit, and vanilla almond milk. That was way too sweet! Now I blend it with only these items you see here and with 1/2 cup of ice. It’s perfect for my post workout drink. I do love that I get every mineral, vitamin and nutrient my body needs to recover all in one. It doesn’t taste “gritty” to me maybe, that’s because I only do plant based protein for years now so I’m used to it. It’s a set weight in the volume in the canister so not sure why everyone is complaining about it not being full to the top. Its just that the canister is bigger. We are still getting the exact amount we paid for. Over all I highly recommend this protein. I do not have any stomach issues with it. I feel good after drinking it. I will continue to use it.

I like this product because it is not dairy based, as so many protein drinks are. I just wish I could have ordered the chocolate flavor, but no surprise it is not available as it is the most popular. The Vanilla is fine, I drink it with almond milk which is a bit thin, but if I want it thicker I dollop soy yoghurt in it. It’s a light greenish colour, but that’s OK, it tastes fine. Sweet, but not very sweet. My only gripe is it is so expensive!

good value and delivery.

Lid came broken but seal inside was good so I need to be more careful to storage this. Tried and it seems good. If it only has what it has written in it might just be one of the best on the market. Let's see.. hopefully this was just this time
