If you are like me, you probably don’t much like most protein powders. The chalky taste, the aftertaste and just pain to blend. I have generally had good luck with Vega protein products.
So, I usually add a flavor boost to mine, like this one with a cinnamon sugar crumble that is blended in and used as garnish. It adds a texture as well as flavor burst to the shake. Pictured, french vanilla shake and chocolate shake with the snickerdoodle crumble!

I use the vega protein and greens berry powder in smoothies a couple days a week. A banana, strawberries or blueberries and my favorite sugar free flavored water! Yum!
I just bought Warrior Foods Extreme but I have yet to try it. This will be the first time I use protein powder.
I like plant fusion protein for morning shakes. I haven’t third this one but would love to.
I make a protein shake every morning. I also like to make protein pancakes. I love the Garden of Live – Raw – coffee flavor.
I like LIFETIME Life’s Basics – Plant Protein Unsweetened Vanilla with Chia and Hemp, but I am excited to try Vega One.
Vega is like Frank’s – I put that s**t in everything!
I use Plant Fusion. I mix it with Almond Coconut Milks and strawberries for a kind of strawberry milkshake.
Up until recently I have been using a GNC powder and shaker bottle…however it seems I am allergic to something in it and broke out in hives. I am now on a quest to find a great vegan protein powder, in hopes to eliminate another allergic reaction. Vega One sounds awesome! Cinnamon crumble protein shakes look absolutely delicious!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I don’t have a favorite as long as it’s organic & vegan.
I love my french vanilla vega one protein powder (costco for the win) in basically any smoothie i make! It adds the right amount of sweetness with out being overpowering and blends well.
