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 haven’t used any. I have a fear of them being way too fattening. But I am so willing to try this.
I love the Raw FiT protein powders and anything Vega. Use them mostly in my morning smoothies, but recently started baking with them! 🙂
I’ve never used a protein powder but would love to try Vega!
I use Vega One vanilla with 100% cranberry juice or blueberry juice several times a week for breakfast. Like the ideas in this post. But as you may be able to tell from my use description I am usually running out the door late grabbing the easiest breakfast possible. Thank you Vega products for fueling this crazy life!
I have actually been looking at different plant-based protein powders to decide which one I want to invest in! So far, Vega is at the top of my list so I would LOVE to try some! I would use it in my morning green and fruit smoothies to get that extra protein to start my day right! 🙂
I currently am trying Cytosport Whey Protein Powder, but I am very interested in trying the Vega One powder.
I love the Vega Vanilla flavor! I use it in just about everything from smoothies, to oatmeal to plain Greek yogurt. It takes great and I feel good about getting in some protein and veggies!
i love vega protein powders!
I use Warrior Blend in breakfast smoothies almost every day, so I’m at high risk for getting sick of it! I’d love to try Vega.
I don’t have one, but I’d love to try this!
