First, I find it incredibly silly to judge a nutritional product (and call it “poor”) solely based on what it tastes like. Second, I personally feel, and so do those I know who’ve tried it, Vega is probably one of the best tasting shakes out there (and it can simply be mixed with water, by the way, for those of you who are like me and hate milk AND milk substitutes).
As for what truly matters: the quality of the shake. Vega is hands down the best of its kind on the Vegan/Vegetarian market. This isn’t just a shake thrown together by marketers, this was based on years of research and development by Brendan Brazier, a true vegan athlete. It is the perfect combination of protein, fiber, vitamins, nutrients, and even some herbs. The protein itself is an amazing and hard (or impossible?) to find combination of hemp, pea protein, brown rice, and flax. NO soy, either!
I’ve been taking these shakes for about two months and feel and see a noticeable difference, which is key – in energy level, muscle development, even mental clarity.
As for the cost, sure its a little pricey, but it goes back to the old “you get what you pay for”. Think about why taking a supplement is important to you, and then ask yourself if paying slightly more but receiving more benefits are worth making a sacrifice somewhere else. By they way, Vega is so inclusive that it eliminates the need for going to several different supplements, therefore I think the price basically evens out within a budget. Also, I find a half a serving (one scoop) does the trick just fine, so you can stretch out the life of a tub.
Believe me, I’ve done my research, and there are some good products out there, but this one really is “the best”!

I just purchased this product over the weekend (locally) based on an add in VegTimes. I paid full price in order to get it right away and came here to order some for my mom. So far I have found an immediate bounce in energy, a decline in cravings for any food of any sort, especially sweets. Compared to the other powders I have tried it is noticeably less gritty (but if it’s only in water, well…it’s gritty folks, c’mon!) and more tolerable just in water, but I did find it to be a bit too sweet alone. The “full” portion of 2 scoops was also WAY too much for me but they recommend a smaller portion that reduces the cost per serving. Mixed with ice and cut back the water to make a nice but spare smoothie. Today i replaced that with, a splash of a bottled smoothie (bolthouse frams purple carrot), 1 kiwi, half a banana and it was fantastic. Not too sweet at all (using about 3/4 scoop)!
My priorities are alkalizing, getting in greens, avoiding sugars, promoting healthy eating and eating 5-6 small meals. This product helps me meet those goals on the fast paced schedule I keep. My friend emailed me with her results on Vanilla Chai (we purchased at the same time) and she is similarly digging this product. She can’t tolerate repeated days of soy protein beverages and the hemp, chorella, etc. blend seems to be working for her. By focussing on the right foods and max green intakeI’m already going back down in weight (2 pounds…yay!). When I started an alkalizing lifestyle I lost 20 pounds, but eating cake, burgers and other junk the last couple of months has me up 15 lbs., all joints aching and alergies are fierce. Just since Saturday I’m noticing a different in my joint pain and allergic symptoms (and it’s not my meds. I also stopped taking meds nad supplements when I started eating badly again…just fell off the wagon). So I’m pretty impressed with this product so far. Since about 3/4 scoop tend to make a decent shake for me I expect to double or triple the meals I can get from this product, making the cost more effective too. If I get about 35 meals out of a jar the price drops to less than $2 per meal, that’s worth it for my health. I only give it 4 stars because of the heavy hand with stevia, but that is very easy to do. Plus if you are taking vitamin and Omega 3s and other supplements already in this product you can cut back or eliminate some and save a ton of money on separate items. I’ve already asked my M.D. about cutting back on some things. I’m very jazzed about this product.

Love the product, lasts for a long time… I use one scoop with my breakfast smoothie for protein. Also, I’m a vegan so it helps a ton!

I would have to disagree with the previous reviewer. This product has a very tasty berry flavor. My only complaint is that I would say it is too sweet… but I am one that regularly halves sugar in recipes! What a fantastic addition to our nutritionally incomplete diets! I can’t wait to try the other flavors
