Vega Shake & Go Smoothie
For the last few weeks I have been trying out the Vanilla Almondilla Vega Shake & Go Smoothie and I have come to the conclusion that I like it sometimes. I know you’re going how can you like some just sometimes? Well in the case of this Vega Shake & Go Smoothie I really didn’t like it as a shake & go smoothie. I appreciated the simplicity of adding 2 tablespoons to one cup of water and shake to create a smoothie filled with
- Two servings of veggies
- 2500 mg Omega-3-6-9
- 11 g complete protein
- Only 100 calories
- 1 billion probiotics cultures
However the flavor was just off for me. I felt that the smoothie was just too sweet and it over powered the drink. I alternatively used the smoothie powder in my one hour oats and I thought it was great because the bland oats helped to balance the sweetness. I also found the smoothie powder great when added to a blender with water, spinach, banana and flax meal. Overall I did like the Vega Shake & Go Smoothie however the forms in which I enjoyed it was not in the intended “shake & go” style.
I agree with you, I didn’t like the taste of it as a shake and go smoothie either. I appreciate all the benefits and how easy it’s to make but I still throw it back into a blender with a banana and macadamia nut butter. I’m just not able to drink the sweet thick beverage on its own.
