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 like the chocolate vega with a frozen banana, soy milk and peanut butter 🙂
I discovered the Vega brand last year at whole foods. I was stoked that they come in individual packets so I could taste test before making a larger purchase. What I have found is that Vega is the best protein powder I’ve ever had! It’s like having a milk shake or cafe smoothie. I’m so glad to have found Vega, but I have yet to try their One products and am very interested in exploring the great tastes of the Vega brand!
Both VegaOne and Sprout Living Epic Protein are great products because they blend so smoothly and taste great. I like to mix them into smoothies or porridge on the days i need a nutritional boost.
I like rice protein in my smoothies with peanut butter!
I tried a sample of Vega chai and loved it! I would love to try the other flavors 🙂
I love Vega’s chocolate protein powder…it tastes like a special treat!
Vega One sounds like it would be my favorite – I would use it in a breakfast smoothie recipe. 🙂
I tried a protein powder years ago and I can’t remember the name of it, so I haven’t used one in forever. It’d be interesting to try this out and see what it’s like!
We are kind of still looking for a regular plant based protein powder, so far we’ve tried Vega vanilla, Vega One vanilla chia, and Sun Warrior chocolate. All of them have been pretty tasty ^_^.
I usually just add the powder to a fruit based smoothie that I think compliments the flavor of the powder, we’ve gotten some pretty interesting combinations!
I LOVE vegan protein powders in my green smoothie 5 days a week. Looking forward to trying Vega! 🙂
