Overall Rating:
Summary: I've had this protein powder in so many different ways with so many ingredients and it has been delicious each and every time. I honestly have zero complaints and I've been using it for roughly one year. I'd recommend this product for those looking for a vegan and non-soy based protein powder for their post-workout recovery protein. It isn't grainy, doesn't have any weird or artificial aftertastes. Instead, it's a really fresh, clean blend that has made me a perfect shake each time. The only issue is the 520mg of sodium per scoop!

My typical Vega shake recipe:
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 -- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 cup of any fruit(s)
I just thought of a new one!...bananas...*and* peanut butter heehee I can't wait to try that! With a little extra milk for creaminess, this will be divine and I know it.
Please check out this brand. Even if you're not a vegan, it's just a great company to support.
