Vega

I read here 2 reviews about this thing saying that it is tasting good. really have no idea about what are you talking about. I have also tried this thing, back in November (2015) and I know that I won’t ever purchase it again and that’s because of the taste. I have been and I am still on Love and Peas, it is a plant based nutrition powder that it is made by Nature Sunshine company but somewhere in October I have decided to give a try to something else (might be something better – I have thought), so that’s how I got the replacement for the Love and Peas. I have placed my order and in November it appeared to me. I have read all the information that it has contained on the container and I have compared it to other products too (I have done it before I placed my order) and what I have noticed is that pretty much all of them are sounding to be just about the same… anyway, out of them all, reading the reviews, nutritional values etc. etc. etc. I have liked this product called Vega and I have been exciting on giving it a try as a replacement for Love and Peas. VERY bad idea. This thing was the most terrible testing thing that I have ever tried in my life. I definitely haven’t thought that this is how it is going to taste. Generally I’ve been thinking that it is going to taste good. the container has showed that it is a French vanilla flavor. I do know very well that all types of these products are all fake tasting, however, people making this product haven’t even bothered to fake it because it was simply non existent. The taste of this thing was… aghhhh.. like I have been drinking a rotten salad in a cup and because I haven’t expected that it is going to be so and drinking a lot of it (I mean, as much as I could) at once I was just about to throw up. I have been so much disappointed… even though I did tried, I was unable to finish it. I have tried to mix it with different smoothie recipes that I really enjoy, however, even so, I was unable to finish it… that’s how horrible it tastes. I really cannot understand what’s the point of purchasing a nutrition product if you are not even able to drink it because of the taste. I am surely never going to spend my money on it ever again, I know that later I simply need to throw it away. No thanks. I personally cannot recommend this thing but I do recommend the Love and Peas product, much more better tasting. They are both in the same price range and they are both having pretty much the same stuff, however one of them is drinkable… hope some of you will find my review helpful…

I have not used this product for about 4 years or so now. guess a bit less than that. however, in the past i did used this product and I really loved it a lot. I have used the original Vega product and that was the real thing. I have been on it for some months and I loved the effects. however, later, after a few months of being on it I have found out that they are going to reformulate this thing and honestly I have been very excited to see how it is going to be. I’ve been thinking that they are trying hard there to make all of their products better. it seems that this was not the case. As soon as the reformulated product came out I immediately went after it because as I said, I’ve been excited in finding out how it is going to be. I have purchased the Chocolate and the Vanilla Chai in the same order. Tried them and both of them tasted really fine, as much as I can remember (because as I said, this was nearly 4 years ago) I have not noticed any improvement in the taste but it was not worse either.
So well, here I can say that I have had a pretty hard time on trying to understand their marketing strategy. Pretty much it seems that they have had a quite dishonest marketing strategy because I remember very well that for the same price you have been getting fewer ounces of Vega per container than how it used to be in the time I’ve been on it and they have also tried to sell it as an improvement because I remember that supposedly, you would need only 1 scoop and there are also more servings per container. Which I doubt. Everything seems to be fine and good until you start to compare the nutritional information to the old formula and you can easily find out that the nutrients have been cut in half per serving so in the end you get that you pay much more for much less. as I said – quite dishonest because this really smells a lot like it is a marketing scheme in order to get out more money from the consumer for a less product and I really hate when something like this happens. I personally have been a true believer in this product and I have expected better of a product. I was ready to pay more money for a better formula or I would even pay some more money for the same old product. However, I don’t want to pay much more for much less. so this is how I have started and how I have stopped to use this product after some months of being on it. but, as I have said, this was 4 years ago, they changed the formula somewhere in 2012. Having all of this said, I am not aware how it is their current product. Maybe they re-changed it back to how it used to be, maybe they kept it the same since then or maybe then even made it worse, I don’t know. guess I am going to give it a try soon and I will see. And yeah, by the way, good thing is that there are alternatives for it. after I stopped to take this Vega product I started to search something else so I have found out one other product from another company. I am not sure if I can or even if I should talk about that product here, but if you are interested you can write me privately and I will let you know what I am talking about. I truly believe that it is worth it because you are paying a lower price for a product with some better nutritional stats. This really makes a difference. I only know that it doesn’t taste as good as the Vega but sacrificing with price and nutritional stats for taste… I’m not sure. And this product I am talking about is also fully organic. Pretty sure you would be interested in it. I will be glad to respond to your questions but until then I am going to try out Vega, I guess.

This thing is really awesome!! It is pretty expensive but it is truly amazing. really worth the money. guess everything that is good must be expensive. Or at least to what I’ve seen. I am living in Australia and here we have available soy protein (that thing kind of tastes fine, however it is def not the healthiest option out there, especially if you are trying to minimize the soy intake), rice protein (this thing is also good, but is kind of grainy and I can say that it is not so high, not high enough of protein content), as well as pea protein (this thing is very and very gross and also it is not mixing so well). I’ve told all of this letting you know that despite all of these things, there’s one that, IMO, is fully complete, talking about quality and what it should have. this product Vega is amazing because it is a mixture of 5 different proteins and it is a mixture of some really good proteins which makes it an amazing mix and it is giving you a very HIGH protein intake from a mixed source. I really love the fact that it also tastes good (unlike other things) and it is also mixing very well. I’m just trying to point out so much that it has 5 different GOOD proteins because as we know, our bodies need different things, different kinds of proteins, liquids etc. etc. so here is it: 5 types of proteins. I one really like it a lot. there are different tastes of it but so far I have only tried the vanilla one because I really really like vanilla and generally I can say that I am trying everything out there that tastes vanilla-ey. I really can see the effects as I am having it once or maybe 2 times per day for muscle bulding and I am mixing it with some varieties like for example almond milk, oat milk or maybe coconut milk as well as frozen berries. It is like I am eating a very and very healthy yogurt that it is tasting very good and it is very smooth. It is a lot more healthier and a lot more tasty than it, however, as I said, it is more expensive than a yogurt, of course… BUT, even so, I can say that it doesn’t work out to be so much more expensive than the non soy protein powders that I am able to purchase here in Australia. Having all of this said: it is so so much better on so many levels. A product that is truly worth both your money and your time because soon later you are going to feel the effects and you’ll understand why I am telling it. this is truly the best addition that I have ever had to my diet. Especially since I am a vegan. I recommend you all to go after it because once again – it is worth it.
