********* An Amazon Abecedarian Assessment of Vega One All-in-One Nutritional Shakes! ********
A is for ALMOND, which is part of the new Coconut Almond flavor. This is my favorite for an evening snack, because I sleep better if I avoid all sources of chocolate (a mild stimulant) in the evening.
B is for BERRY. The Mixed Berry flavor is also a good choice for an evening snack, though it took me a little while to get used to its greenish color that comes from the broccoli, kale, spirulina, etc. I like that it only has 3 net grams of net carbohydrate (net carbohydrate is the total grams of carbohydrate minus the total grams of fiber), because recent research suggests that the timing of carbohydrate intake is a factor in whether it is used for energy or stored as fat. Evening carbs are more likely to be stored as fat, so I keep my carb intake low in the evening. The Mixed Berry flavor is also a good base for a banana-strawberry breakfast smoothie.
C is for CHOCOLATE. This flavor is my personal favorite. This is my favorite breakfast smoothie ingredient. But if I am in a huge hurry, I just throw a scoop in a water-filled shaker and run out the door. It will get me through the morning either way. C is also for CONVENIENCE (see the sentence above about huge hurry) and for CAMPING. I often repackage some and throw it in my backpack to be mixed up fresh in the CAMP or on the trail. .
D is for DAIRY-FREE. Dairy allergy and lactose intolerance are two different but common food sensitivities. I have had to deal with both.
E is for ECONOMICAL. Although at first glance this stuff is pretty expensive, it has a lot of supplements built into it and it saves a lot of money over buying separate protein powder, vitamin, mineral, antioxidant, probiotic, fiber, spirulina, and omega-3 supplements. Amazon's price is cheaper than I would have to pay in our local stores, plus through Subscribe and Save, I get an additional discount on the price. E is also for EGG-FREE. Egg is another of the "top ten" allergens. Again, it is one of the protein foods I have to avoid because of a life-long allergy.
F is for FRENCH Vanilla. This is another flavor that is good as a smoothie ingredient. I also sometimes use it as a milk substitute for cold cereal. It is very, very sweet. Be warned: this flavor is also green from the veggies it contains. F is also for FOOD-based ingredients. All the flavors seem to have only food-based ingredients. with no synthetic vitamins or other synthetic substances added.
G is for GMO-free. Nobody knows the long-term effects of genetically modified foods because genetically modified foods have not been around long-term. I don't want to be a guinea pig in this unprecedented experiment. G is also for GLUTEN-free. Gluten is a health issue for many people, some of whom don't even realize that a sensitivity to this group of proteins is a factor in their less-than-optimal health. I happen to have a known sensitivity, so I am very glad this product is gluten-free.
H is for HEALTHY. It contains a balance of superfoods and plain, old-fashioned "eat you vegetables, they're good for you" types like spinach and broccoli.
I is for INCREDIBLY complete. One level scoop provides 20 grams of protein, 50 percent or more of the Daily Value of most known vitamins, significant amounts of magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus, and other beneficial ingredients like probiotics, fiber, and antioxidants. And it has dehydrated greens and fruits that are packed with nutrition. I is also for ICE. Some people feel that ice or frozen fruit makes it taste better, but I find it tolerable without ice.
J is for JUICE. I sometimes use a mix of fruit juice and water as the liquid for my morning Nutritional Shake or smoothie. Organic mulberry juice is my favorite to mix with either the Chocolate, Mixed Berry or French Vanilla Flavors.
K is for "K", the symbol for the mineral potassium. One scoop gives you six to ten percent of the Daily Value of potassium. As a reference, a medium banana give you nine percent of the Daily Value.
L is for LOW-sodium. One percent of the Daily Value seems to be typical.
M is for MOCHA. I personally don't like anything with mocha flavor, but if you like mocha, you might like this. It is one of the newer flavors. M is also for MAGNESIUM, a mineral many people do not get enough of. Most flavors of Vega One All-in-One Nutritional Shake provide ten percent of the Daily Value of Magnesium. The Chocolate flavor, though, provides twenty percent. I KNEW there had to be a good excuse to enjoy chocolate every day!
N is for NATURAL. I haven't tried this flavor yet, but some people report it is their favorite.
O is for ON-the go. When you need to get some serious nutrition into your body in a hurry, this is a quick way to do it. I usually keep some in my backpack so I always have a healthy alternative to junk food.
P is for PROTEIN. There are twenty grams of protein per scoop, so it is a decent protein supplement.
Q is for QUALITY. This product is of excellent quality.
R is for REAL food. All of the flavors of Vega All-in-One Nutritional Shake are made from real, plant-based ingredients.
S is for SMOOTHIE. If you don't lake it straight, use it as a smoothie ingredient and give your smoothies a big nutritional boost. S is also for STEVIA, the sweetener used in the Vega One All-in-One Nutritional Shakes. These shakes are very, very sweet with a definite stevia aftertaste. I would have preferred less stevia, but I much prefer stevia to sugar as a sweetener.
T is for TASTE. If you would like to taste the Chocolate, French Vanilla, and Mixed Berry flavors before committing to buying a big tub, you can buy the
Vega One Nutritional Shake and Bar Variety Pack, 4 Count
.
U is for ULTIMATELY. Ultimately, this is the best overall supplement I have encountered thus far.
V is for VANILLA Chai. This is another popular flavor. If chai is your cup of tea, you might prefer this flavor.
W is for WTSHTF. If you are a prepper, you will want to have some lightweight, nutrient-dense food you don't have to cook to keep in your bug-out bag. This is a good option. Just rotate your stock and keep track of the expiration dates printed on the packaging.
X is for XYLITOL-free. If sugar alcohols upset your digestion, you will be very glad of this.
Y is for YUMMY smoothies, a quick meal solution.
Z is for ZERO synthetics and fillers.

Great Product / Addressing the holes in the seal
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2017
I have been using Vega One All-In-One for years now. I was drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast but one day realized how much sugar I was putting into my body. A trusted health food store employee suggested this as a alternative. It was a bit of a challenge at first, going from something with so much sugar to this, but now it tastes good and keeps me full for a while.SIDE NOTE: I received a jug of this with 5 holes punched into the top of the seal and it completely freaked me out. I had Amazon send a replacement and it too had the holes. I reached out to Vega One and this was their response: "Thanks for reaching out! Yes, I can definitely see how the ventilation holes could be alarming as they slightly larger and more noticeable than before. We’ve always had ventilation holes in our seal, though it seems our manufacturer is likely using a new machine so they are in a more noticeable position and are slightly larger as I mentioned. The pin sized holes are completely characteristic of the vented liner on our tub and are meant for circulation."

Honestly Impressed, very chocolatey!
Reviewed in Canada on April 12, 2021
I got the chocolate flavour and honestly I had set my bar very low from reading all of the other reviews but I figured oh well, it’s a nutrient dense powder its not supposed to taste like a milkshake and pizza. I must say I was quite wrong and impressed. The chocolate flavour powder does taste like chocolate and I only eat junk food so my pallet is used to very sugary and salty food. I mixed some frozen fruits, spinach, a lot of water and 1 scoop of powder and blended it in my magic bullet. Not expecting it to taste lovely hence why I tried to mask the flavour with fruits. Holy moly I was shocked, I’m not saying it’s the best thing I’ve ever tasted but it’s definitely way better than I thought, my smoothie tastes like chocolate covered fruits not even kidding. Its delicious!!(I already drank half of it in my picture, I couldn’t wait it was that good). As for the scoop I thought I didn’t have one but I read a question&answer saying to dig for it which I did lol...I did end up finding it. I just poked around with a stick until I heard a click and dug. If you’re reading any reviews about the chocolate and they say it taste like garbage, well they couldn’t be anymore wrong. I can’t speak for the other flavours but I definitely recommend the chocolate. Hope this helps
