My favorite vegan protein powder!

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2024

Flavor Name: Essentials Chocolate (XL Tub)Verified Purchase

I have been in love with this exact protein powder for about 7 years now! It is just so chocolatey and smooth and delicious! Blends easily and doesn’t have a chalk taste.

It’s also very nutritious and has made my hair grow so much so fast (I notice a huge difference when I’m drinking this consistently).
It helps me go to the bathroom more often which I love because I always feel great after.

I’ve also made vegan/keto cookies, zucchini chocolate bread, brownies, muffins, and cake with this powder and it’s the best way to incorporate protein and still eat yummy snacks, and I LOVE the chocolate taste :)

So all around this is my favorite protein powder. It taste great and works for my body even better.

An Excellent Choice for Plant-Based Protein

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2024

Flavor Name: Original Protein Creamy Chocolate (Large Tub)Verified Purchase

There are quite a few reasons why I love this product. The high protein content is stellar, and the fact that it's vegan is a major plus. As for the taste, it's good but not too sweet which I appreciate. I preferred it with some water and a bit of oatmilk. A sprinkle of sugar-free vanilla could enhance its flavor. Overall, it's a great product for those seeking a plant-based protein option.

Whoo! Are my nutritional problems solved?

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2024

Flavor Name: Original Protein Creamy Chocolate (Large Tub)Verified Purchase

Ever since a nutritionist told me I should be eating 30 gms of protein every day, but preferably three times a day until I healed up I've felt dismay every time I thought of this. 30 gms is 5 large eggs, five oz of boneless cooked skinless, defatted chicken, about 7-8 oz of steak with bone. How does anyone put that much food into their bodies day after day let alone three times a day? Less fanatical doctors have warned me about doing this. Even if you balance one of these meals with a vegan diet, it's rough on your heart and kidneys for sure and probably all the rest of your internal organs too. And yet with all these dire warnings, I wasn't healing. Clearly, I needed to be on this diet.

practically speaking, it's also a lot of cooking. I can't keep up with 30 gm per day and end up eating the healthiest frozen food to fill the gaps. All in all, my diet may technically hit 30 gms but it's unbalanced because I don't have enough time to prepare vegan foods.

Of course, I've tried protein supplements but the entire category is rife with problems. Protein powders suffer from contaminants the most notorious being heavy metals. Yeah, we're talking lead, cadmium...real nice stuff. And there are a gauntlet of safety boards that independently test for contamination. The only one I see is the non-GMO seal which is nice but do people really think plants can't pick up something nasty?

Having said all that, the ingredient list is the only one I've encountered so far that won't upset my gut. Being able to hang onto the stuff is the furthest I've gotten with these powders.

Oh yeah. It tastes good. That's a new one.

Vega, you have done well... so far. You need to sign up for a fistful of safety certifications. Pretty slogans about being good for people and planet carry little weight here.

Less you think I'm being harsh, Vega is the highest scoring product I've tried. The others were complete wash-outs due to lack of safety standards or even worse they had the safety but added difficult to tolerate ingredients for assorted cosmetic reasons which caused the gut to reject it entirely. I can't like it if I can't hold it down.

I've been using Vega mixes for years and have never found a flavor I didn't like. I now make shakes for my kids as a treat and they love it! I love the clean ingredients and know there getting a great filling snack, especially in the days they won't eat very much.
