Vega Sport Premium Protein Powder Bundle, Chocolate + Vanilla, Plant Based Protein Powder Post Workout - Certified Vegan, Vegetarian, Keto-Friendly, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, BCAA Amino Acids

I bought Vega Sport Protein Powder after doing some research about vegan protein powders and then purchasing a Vega Sport sample pack that included a berry, vanilla, and chocolate protein sample (among other things). I started with the vanilla thinking this would be the easiest flavor to incorporate into my routine which consists of a veggie/fruit smoothie for breakfast and sometimes a pre or post workout smoothie. I am not a big fan of the vanilla in my breakfast smoothie, but it's not too bad in the one I make with bananas and/or sweet potatoes, almond milk, and peanut butter powder. I think the vanilla leaves a bit of a noticeable after taste and seems to sweet in an artificial way (I can't think of a better way to describe it). That being said, I really like the chocolate in the aforementioned smoothie. It complements the peanut butter powder really well and I don't have the after taste issue I have with the vanilla. I was somewhat surprised to find that I love the berry flavored powder. Now I miss it when I make a smoothie without it. I think it helps smooth out the texture a bit (I mix my breakfast fruit/veggie smoothie with non-sweet green tea that I brew). I ran out and used some of the Vega Protein & Greens berry flavored powder (which was available at Target when I ran out while out of town). I definitely prefer the Vega Sport. I do always cut my portions in half so it's nice that the big container comes with a scoop that measures out a half portion. Adding some protein to my breakfast smoothie has helped me not be hungry before lunch. I'm a terrible morning eater, I'm just not usually hungry first thing, so having a liquid breakfast is very convenient.I'm also not an athlete per se. I chose the Vega Sport over some of the other Vega options because I have arthritis in my hip and the Vega Sport contains a number of ingredients that help with inflammation (turmeric and tart cherry are two of these) and the lack of animal proteins is beneficial too since I'm just not ready to go full vegetarian in my daily life but I am trying to limit things that can trigger my inflammation when I can. As part of my anti-inflammation eating, exercising, and weight maintenance program, Vega Sport has really been helping me. It tastes good and seems to work. I haven't been using the Vega Sport as much as a post-workout protein option as it is probably intended, but I do still think I'm getting some performance benefits from it (I use some other Vega Sport products as well).

This clean protein powder is a game-changer! It mixes effortlessly into water, smoothies, or recipes without any clumping, and the taste is naturally smooth without being overly sweet or artificial. I love that it’s made with high-quality ingredients and free from unnecessary fillers, making it gentle on my stomach and perfect for post-workout recovery.

My little brother put us onto this vegan protein powder. I tried the Vega chocolate flavor first and found it to be good but a little bland, esp when mixing with just water. This Mocha flavor has more depth of flavor, almost like a hint of coffee. I really enjoy it. It’s easy to shake into water or milk—it’s a little gritty but I don’t mind that. Helps my recovery. Ingredients are pretty clean. I make smoothies in the blender with milk + ice and it’s delish.

This protein powder is PACKED with a whopping 30g of dairy free protein which is a perfect option for vegans & those who are lactose intolerant. The taste is great (I bought vanilla) & when blended in a blender, the product mixes up pretty well. I rated this product 4-stars because it doesn't blend as smooth as some other plant-based protein powders I've tried. If mixed in a shaker, the product maintains a pretty gritty texture. Even after blending in the blender, when a bit of product gets on your lips & you push them together (like after you apply chap stick), there is a slightly gritty texture. The vanilla taste of pretty authentic so if you're a vanilla fan like I am, you'll like the taste of this one. Besides the slightly gritty texture, the only other downside to this product isn't really the product itself, but more about the scoop. The scoop is bugger than most I've used contained in other brands which allows for the user to use a full scoop & get the full 30g of protein which means only 20 servings in a 1lb container, but a user has the option to measure out 1/2 scoop allowing a lesser amount of protein but gives the user 40 scoops. The scoop works well & seems to be made of rather sturdy material. My problem lies within the length of the scoop handle. See attached picture. The lack of handle length does not allow for the user to get to the bottom easily. In addition, scooping period is a hassle & messy! I always get powder on my hands when using the scoop. As the product is used & I have to scoop deeper into the container, I end up with powder on my wrist & forearm. No exaggeration. If I got to change one thing about this product, it would definitely be the handle length. I hope that at some point in the near future, the product is refined to a thinner texture which blends better leaving a less gritty texture. Would I buy it again? Absolutely. Some things like protein content in a plant based product are hard to come by. Vega is a clean protein (no crummy additives) so I'll make the sacrifice & deal with the grit. For a different flavor, try adding 1/2 cup blueberries or pineapple. For a creamy, sweet shake, try adding 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter (any brand), 2 tbsp cocoa powder (any brand), & 2 tbsp agave liquid (any brand) YUMMO! I'll be ordering another container very soon!

I am not good at eating three meals a day and my primary nutritional need is protein. This mix made with water taste good. I don’t add anything when I make it. I use a bullet blender and chilled water. I find it very effective to drink before going to sleep, helps me feel better when I awaken. I have been drinking VEGA protein in various formulas and I don’t add anything like this one. In both chocolate and mocha.
