Vega Protein & Greens Tub Powder Vanilla 18.6 Ounce - Plant Based Protein Powder, Gluten Free, Non Dairy, Vegan, Non Soy, Non GMO

I've used the Vega Protein powder in the past and can't recall whether it was "no flavor" or vanilla. My most recent purchase of Vega Protein & Greens Tub Powder, Vanilla has an overwhelming vanilla flavor. I usually use the Garden of Life FIT protein powder and decided to try Vega again because it has less protein. I use cocao, blueberries, and banana in my smoothies and vanilla is the unnatural dominant taste. Possibly there is too much vanilla, which results in an artificial taste. I won't purchase this product again in vanilla.

My sis has COPD and we do everything to help enhance her protein drinks. Adding a tablespoon of the Vega Protein powder really helps give her what she needs because she does not eat much. Part of COPD seems to be losing your taste for food and then you don't want to eat much--leading to a worsened patient condition. To her vanilla or strawberry protein drinks we add add 2 teaspoons protein/veggie powder, 1 tablespoon of Carnation Malted Milk powder and a tablespoon of aloe vera drink. We add 1 teaspoon of Vega Protein powder, 1 tablespoon of the chocolate flavored Carnation Malted Milk powder and 1/2 teaspoon sorghum syrup to the chocolate flavored protein drinks. Sorghum has amazing health benefits and I would advise reading about sorghum--those old timers new more about staying healthy than we promote today. To add to the additional powders/syrup to her drinks, I pour the protein drink into a shaker, add whatever I described, shake it well and pour what I can back into the bottle. Any excess she drinks in a separate glass. It works great and really gives her energy.

One of my favorite proteins! I have a milk allergy so this is perfect for me. I have the chocolate flavor as well, and I like the Vanilla better. Which is surprising because I'm usually a chocolate-anything lover. It has that sugar cookie/cookie dough taste. It's not overly sweet, I think it's just right. If you've never had plant-based protein before then this is totally different than whey. The texture is like day/night. Plant-based is more grainy whereas whey is more smooth. It's not a terrible grainy - it's just different. I like to take my protein powder with water only. The taste/texture is fine for me, but I'm sure other beverages will be great, too.

False advertising. The description said dairy and soy free and that is not true. Definitely has both. Doesn't taste so bad. Still disappointed.

Good product, I always use Almond Mike ( unsweetened ) and plenty of frozen fruit so I have a tasty lunch replacement.

This stuff is pretty great. It's hard to find a protein mix that doesn't have a bunch of crap in it. The ingredients are good and the flavor is not bad. The chocolate flavor is better and mixes better with fruits and smoothies.

The vanilla is a little more subtle than I was looking for. And if I don't blend forever, it tastes like chalk. I am going back to my other vegetarian vanilla protein powder.

I love Vega because it’s gentle on my stomach and it’s plant based. I feel full when I drink it with my smoothies. And they always ship their product in a timely manner.
