Vega Protein Shakes Ready to Drink, Chocolate - Plant Based Vegan Nutrition Shake with Veggies, Greens, Vitamins & Minerals, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Vegetarian, Non GMO, 11 Fl Oz (12 Count)

Update: I am REALLY sad that they raised their price so high... $8 more!! So I will not be buying because you can find Orgain shakes for cheaper than this on luckyvitamin.comVega is a high quality health food brand and I approve of this shake and the price, which was $4 cheaper than Orgain's Vegan Shakes. Now im Addressing the people that say this shake doesnt taste good, thats probably because the average american consumes a LOT of sugar and this is not meant to be a sweet treat, this is not like Muscle Milk (which is oversweetened dairy mucus drink), if you drink Kool-Aid and high fructose corn syrup soda, you prob wont think this is sweet enough.... I only eat an occasional dessert and fruit for sugar, and i dont like adding sugar to my drinks, i dont drink soda and rarely drink fruit juice and i think this is PLENTY sweet... infact, if it were any sweeter I wouldn't think it tastes good. It tastes natural, because it is. Sometimes you have to give up sugar for a while to change your palette.. The more natural foods you consume and less processed sugary things, the more you will develop a taste and a like for natural flavors. That being said I love this Shake!! I bought it in vanilla and its really smooth and easy and quick to drink., it tastes almost identical in taste to their vanilla protein powder... . I think I will order it in chocolate next....

After finding out I could not have protein drinks with whey, even if they were listed as suitable for those with lactose intolerance, I switched to vegetable protein drinks and have now tried several powders and the three major chocolate flavored ready-mixed drinks: Evolve, Vega and Orgain.I much prefer pre-mixed because it's more convenient, and the drinks are more consistently mixed than what I can achieve with a shaker and powder.Vega is my absolute favorite of the three, without question. It's slightly grainy and there is almost always powder left in the bottom of the bottle when you're done, but I add a couple ounces of almond milk and shake it up and get the remaining protein powder that way.What I like the most about it is the taste. It's just such a superior chocolate flavor to the other two (Orgain and Evolve) that I prefer it over the others. It sits well and has never upset my stomach, and the containers are sturdy and easy to recycle, easier than the cardboard cartons in my opinion. I've also been able to save a couple of these plastic containers to use for when I need to mix up protein from powder (which I'm still using up) and take it with me.I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to try a ready-mixed plant protein drink.

I have used Vega Protein Nutrition Shake as a way to insure I have the micro nutrients needed for my health. I decided I would use the shakes as my coffee creamer. Each day I use about 1/4 of the shake as creamer. Initially, I bought the vanilla flavor as I thought, vanilla shake added to vanilla flavored coffee would work out to be great tasting. It was drinkable, but a little off putting because the vanilla shake is a light green. So when it came time to reorder, I thought to try another flavor. I saw the chocolate and thought how I always enjoyed mocha. I have to tell you, it is great!! I look forward to my morning coffee like never before. And when I think I am getting the added vitamins and protein AND it tastes great, that is a win! Chocolate flavor shakes can also have a little mint, or raspberry flavoring added and it makes it yet another flavor with all the great benefits of taste and protein. This product is great quality that I will continue to buy. Good health!

Look...if you don’t have that much knowledge on protein shakes...don’t give this one a bad review because it isn’t super sweet or is gritty...that’s how plant based shakes are...do your research before giving a bad review to an AMAZING product. There are different forms of protein: Isolates, Whey, Egg and plant based. They all work for different individuals and digest more/less quickly. Now, the plant based protein has an “Earthy” taste which comes from all of the bad reviews, I’m 100% positive of that. If you’re used to “regular” protein shakes that mostly are WHEY protein...THIS WILL TASTE “BAD” to you or different. It’s supposed to, it’s natural, organic, doesn’t have all of that processed crap and sweetness that make everything taste delicious...just do your research before you buy a shake that you think is healthy. None the less, this shake is very healthy for you and if you get passed the earthy taste, you’ll love it. I hope this review helps someone in the future! Also, follow my IG LOL @kristopherdesean

I have a pretty severe cow-milk allergy, but also need a good quality protein shake for muscle retention. Other protein options often seem to still upset my stomach, which I’ve read can be from casings, additives, or even soy can often aggravate many sensitive stomachs. I’ve really appreciate these chocolate protein shakes because they are high protein per calorie without being as carby as alternatives. 20 grams of protein, only 14 grams carbs and 4 grams of fiber.They’re also jam-packed full of other essiental vitamins and minerals, so it’s not a bad meal replacement if you are using them for that rather than to add muscle.100% gluten free, non GMO, and certified vegan.I don’t personally mind the taste, although if you’re used to drinking chocolate cow milk or even a whey protein, I imagine it’s a bit different. I don’t remember what cow milk tastes like enough to speak to that. But I was able to drink these with no aversions while pregnant and basically hating all food, so that must count for something.Protein also helps with morning sickness, for anyone who is wondering. Just a little PSA to help all you other mamas out there that had (have) 24/7 “morning” sickness like I did.
