5.0 out of 5 stars Love this shake! June 5, 2011

This is my all time favorite protein shake and I have been drinking it for the past six months. I mix it with Unsweetened Organic Almond Milk and it is delicious.

I use this almost daily (would be daily, but I believe in variety!) and love it. It blends well (I make a chocolate-cherry smoothie with frozen banana, frozen dark sweet cherries and a container of coconut water), tastes great, and has a good texture (no grittness, like some products). I also like that, though it tastes very chocolatey, it doesn't actually contain cacao, giving me the option of adding some to it or not (depending on my chcolate consumption that day ;-) ). I just wish this were on "Subscribe and Save."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for vegan pregnancy February 3, 2012

By Meg

I am currently pregnant and a vegan, as well as gluten free. Because of that combination it's been more difficult to get enough protein in my diet so halfway through my pregnancy, I started using the shake & go smoothies and they have been great. I have it on days where I feel my protein is a little lacking and I often mix it with organic soymilk to add another boost of protein. For those avoiding soy, it's also great with almond, rice, hemp milk, etc.

Before purchasing, I did extensive research on many different protein powders to try and find the safest one for pregnancy that was high quality, affordable and had a flavor. While it is a little pricey, this was the best product for me. I started out having a sample of the vanilla almondilla and the taste was a bit different to me, but I had it mixed with water. After that I purchased the chocolate flavor, which I really like, but have recently started to get tired of, so I decided to give the vanilla amondilla another try. I have to say that I think the vanilla is the better tasting of the two - I think the trick is to add it to some non-dairy milk, not water. It's much creamier and I think tastes way better and is less chalky.

It feels good knowing that I am able to use a safe protein product during my pregnancy that is also full of great nutrients for the baby!

2.0 out of 5 stars The taste is okay, but it has other issues December 1, 2011

The flavor is pretty good. I am very sensitive to stevia aftertaste and it's mild in the chocolate flavor. When used "as directed" the result is not great. You'll notice that many of the positive reviewers are using the product in blended smoothies, but the Shake & Go is supposed to be optimized for using just mixed with water. However, when I used it that way the texture was pretty gross - chalky, grainy, and chunky (I actually fished what looked like a tiny little twig out before drinking). The product also settles really bad - even after sitting for just a couple of minutes there was a thick layer of sludge on the bottom of my shaker bottle. I found myself having to shake it up again every time I wanted to take a drink. Perhaps it's better if you use it in a blended smoothie - I imagine that helps quite a bit with the texture and settling issues. It gets two stars for the flavor alone, but I probably won't buy this again because there are more affordable protein powders to use in blended smoothies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy and good for you too December 30, 2010

Was a little hesitate at first. Have consumed other Vega products with great success and satisfied the vegan in the past. Like chocolate who can pass up chocolate so I purchased some. I knew If I didn't like it I could send the unopened packages back.
Believe me you wont. For those who are just starting out may or may take your taste buds a little to get use to. Went out of town for a couple of weeks and when I came back I noticed that my meat loving daddy was drinking the smoothy on a daily basis along with the Vega Whole Food shake. Now he is addicted to it and his health has much improved. I recommend at least trying this product or one of Vega other whole food shakes/ smoothies for your self at least once. Your body will love you for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my FAVORITE protein powders August 17, 2011

By Kristen Suzanne

Anyone who drinks protein powder shakes knows they're not always the tastiest thing on the planet. Well, that changed for me once I tried Vega's Shake and Go Choc-A-Lot. Oh my goodness... the packaging alone sucked me into buying it with its inviting picture of chocolate on it... and I'm so glad I did. It's loaded with creamy delicious flavor. I've been drinking protein powder shakes for about 20 years now, and for the last 8 of them I chose vegan shake mixes. While I'm a fan of Sun Warrior's chocolate protein mix as well, it isn't as delicious and fun as this one. I drink it with water and ice often, but I prefer it most with fresh raw almond milk (or any plant based milk would be fantastic, raw or not). My baby girl loves it, too!

I've tried the other flavors. I do enjoy the tropical and vanilla (couldn't stand the berry - ack!), but I definitely prefer the chocolate as my favorite go-to.

I couldn't even drink this. I think it is terrible. Although, I am not even close to being a vegetarian, which could be the problem. I was just looking for a healthy shake that tasted good and I didn't find it with this product.

Vega products are not sold in Australia (where I live), but an American-based friend kindly sent this product to me, as I wanted it so much. Being a Brendan Brazier fan, and a bonafide chocoholic, this product was calling my name. I scooped out two heaping tablespoons, added ice water and whizzed it up in my VitaMix. Anticipating a heavenly vegan shake, I tasted instead something indescribably foul. The medicinal ingredients (organic green food blend, organic green pea protein etc) are not 'concealed' in any way by the chocolate flavour (listed as 'natural flavours', whatever that means, on the ingredients panel). To the product's credit, the ingredients are mostly organic, but the punishing kale aftertaste and cruddy texture make this a 'functional' drink, perhaps to enhance athletic performance, but definitely not to delight the palate.
