You may remember my Vega Sport review (HERE) a few months ago. Well now it's time to talk about another Vega product line, the Vega One All-In-One Nutritional Shakes.
Here are a few of the stats and details you might want to know about the shakes:
- Contain 50 percent of your daily intake of vitamins and minerals
- Dairy, gluten & soy free
- No sugar added
- Clean, plant-based choice
- Comes in chocolate, natural, vanilla chai and berry
So now for my thoughts. I first tried the natural flavor. I put it in my morning smoothie. I was a little surprised by the greenish color when I first added water. But it turned a lovely purple once I added blueberries, strawberries and bananas. I thought the Vega flavor would blend in subtly with the fruit, but it kind of took over. And it really changed the texture. I wasn't in love with it and prefer my Vega-free smoothie. But that wasn't the end of my Vega One adventures.
Next I tried the chocolate. I really like the Vega Sport chocolate Performance Protein Shake, so I had high hopes for the Vega One shake. The flavor was pretty good. They all have a similar underlying taste, but this had a good chocolaty flavor. But again, the texture got me. I tried the chocolate mixed with just water, and it was a little gritty.
So I decided maybe blending the shakes with a little ice was the answer. And it worked wonders. I am a vanilla fan, and the vanilla chai blended with water and ice was my favorite. It has a subtle flavor and the ice masked the gritty texture, as it did for the berry as well. 
I am not a berry fan when it comes to things like shakes, but I think anyone who likes berry protein type shakes would like the Vega One berry shake.
Now, I don't have a cool Vega shirt for you that you can take a really bad picture of in really bad lighting like mine, but I do have a sample of each flavor for one of you to try. Here's how you can get them:
