Vega Protein Made Simple, Dark Chocolate - Stevia Free Vegan Protein Powder, Plant Based, Healthy, Gluten Free, Pea Protein for Women and Men, 9.6 oz (Packaging May Vary)

I usually don’t write reviews but WOW if I could give 7 stars I would! I was looking for a good, dairy free protein powder that could go with my coffee & this one was definitely the perfect choice. It mixes BEAUTIFULLY, I didn’t even need a blender, you can just stir it thoroughly with a spoon & it mixes very well. No clumps whatsoever! (As you can see in my photos.) It made the coffee so smooth and creamy. Plus the vanilla flavor goes PERFECT with the coffee. Like a creamer, but better because it gives that boost of protein! Literally tastes & looks like it’s from a cafe!😋☕️How I did it:1.) Half cup of water + coffee concentrate or coffee (Mixes well with a spoon even in cold water!)2.) 1 scoop of this glorious product3.) Add ice (optional)(My coffee was already so smooth & creamy without milk, but if you wanted to add a milk of your choice for an extra creaminess, go ahead!)That’s it! So quick & easy for busy mornings. Very happy with my purchase!

Clean ingredients and tastes amazing! I make my morning smoothies with this powder, a banana and almond milk. Definitely worth it!

Good macros and pretty clean ingredients.Not a bad taste and is certainly better than other vegan protein mixes I’ve tried.

really gross tasting! its chalky and weird and not really a chocolate flavor at all but with that being said its the only protein powder i can find that is stevia (or monk fruit or whatever artificial or natural sweetener) free and i love it because of that!also it really keeps me full the mornings im too busy for a mid morning snacki mix it with oat milk and it’s tolerable enough to get down but i mean its protein powder so you cant expect much flavor wise, probably would be better in a smoothie or something with multiple ingredientsill keep buying it though for the fact its made with natural cane sugar

I want to start off by stating this. I decided to go on a smoothie cleanse this month. In the past I have went on smoothie cleanses however this this is my very 1st time using a protein shake, therefore I have no other protein shakes to powders to compare this to. With that out if the way, I purchased this Vega Protien Powder, all in the same size, in the flavors of Vanilla, Caramel Toffee and Strawberry Banana. I tried them in the past couple of days in the order mentioned above. I have only used one scoop per smoothie. I am using this smoothie as a meal replacement, only drinking it once a day, and along with the powder I am adding one or two spoon full of frozen fruits, one or two hand full of fresh vegetables, almond milk, plain greek yogurt, and sometimes I will add ground cinnamon and a small dash of maple syrup to mask the flavors of the powder. I first mixed the powder with almond milk, very well, then incorporated the other ingredients afterward. For curiosity sake, I have tried all of the flavors with almond milk alone and with water, alone. Being that I have only had this protien powder for a couple of days, I honestly cannot judge it by its nutritional value as of yet. However preparing it as a hearty smoothie and only drinking one smoothie a day with nothing else other than a cup of hot tea at bedtime and water through out the day, has kept me satisfied and energized all day long, without feeling like I am starting myself. The texture is not chalky and the powder seems to mix well with the right amount of almond milk or water. I prefer it with plain almond milk as I find it to be more tolerable that way when drinking it alone. Out of the Vanilla, Caramel Toffee and Strawberry Banana flavors, I find the Vanilla and Coffee Toffee to taste the same, except the Caramel Toffee has a slightly salty after taste. But honestly, if someone blindfolded me and had me drink the Caramel Toffee, I would easily mistaken it for Vanilla. Neither if them taste good in my humble opinion. The Strawberry Banana isn't much better but it has a slightly more tolerable taste, especially while drinking it with just almond milk and it smell better. I believe I read somewhere in these reviews that it tastes like Caption Crunch Berries and I agree that it does taste like that but maybe like a less sweet version of it. My only major concern is that at the end of the "simple" ingredients, it says "Natural Flavors" but since these natural flavors were not specified and listed it makes me feel like the company has something to hide. I bought this protien powder after researching many of them because I trusted this one will be the healthiest but not knowing what all the "Natural Flavors" are makes me feel a particular type of way. I took a picture of all of the powders as they are immediately after opening them, before using them and it is dissappointing to see that all of these containers are about half way full. If the company isn't going to fill it up, they need to put the formula in smaller containers. Despite what the serving size says, on the container, its deceiving and annoying that Inhave to stick half of my arm in, to get the scooper out and scoop up some of the powder. None the less, this is one of the least expensive protien powders I have seen on the market, and from what is provided on the packaging, it seems to be the healthiest choice, at this point in time. For those that are hyped up about buying the Caramel Toffee flavored powder, it may not be worth they hype. Too many people hyped it up which is why I bought it, but I'll try it again with two scoops next time to see if I can taste the different between this flavor and the Vanilla flavor. Your best bet may be Strawberry Banana if you are looking for flavor but don't plan on adding other things to it and Vanilla if you are going to incorporate other flavors to the drink. I also noticed the difference in the prices although they are all the same size, I don't know why that is, but if you are budgeting, it's worth paying attention to. None the less, I wish everyone buying these products the best....cheers to having better health!

Pleasant taste. Mixes well with oat milk, bananas, and almond butter. Blends well

I bought this assuming it was the same as the other Vega protein powder that I bought, but it is FAR from: aside from having 6grams of added sugar (boke🤮) it also has 5grams LESS protein than the other powder I bought from the Vega brand. It’s so different that I actually dread using it because i HATE sugar and I burn between 1500-2500(sometimes 3000) active calories a day and frankly, the other Vega protein powder was already less protein than I wanted and I only bought THAT one because Orgain is getting ridiculously expensive and I’ve had to make adjustments to how much I spend on things because of the tanking economy, so if I’m to be honest, I feel duped. I cannot simply send it back for reasons I don’t feel like getting into, but yeah, I feel ripped off and I’m not happy at all with the crap that Vega is peddling; it simply doesn’t live up to the rest of their products and I will not be buying or using Vega products anymore. I’ll pay the extra for Orgain; it may cost a little more but at least their products are consistent.**update**As if I wasn’t already livid after reading the nutrition label, the photo above shows how much product is actually IN the containers that are ALREADY so small that having the 10 servings that the product claims to have is unlikely. In this photo, I have barely opened it and I even dumped what had filled the scooper during shipping back into the container with the rest of the product. Vega should be ASHAMED of their business model. I’m NEVER buying this brand again. Absolutely abysmal.
