Nutritious & tastes good
My normal go-to smoothie powder is Vega Smoothie Infusion, but I have this on occasion for a change of pace.<br /><br />I like that it's plant-based (I'm a vegan) and I can't really taste it in my fruit/veggie smoothies. I haven't ever tried it with just almond milk or whatever, so I can't say how it'd be plain with liquid. But with some kale or collards and water or almond milk (or hazelnut milk -- yum!) and a banana, plus usually I add Spirutein cappuccino flavor and a dash of cinnamon and maybe a soaked date, it's super yum. Also I often add a dash of peppermint extract. Toss some ice and maybe some frozen wheatgrass juice in the Vitamix and I swear, it's like mint ice cream.<br /><br />I don't like things too sweet, so most protein powders (including all of the other Spiruteins except maybe vanilla) are way too sickly sweet for me. I like that Vega isn't.<br /><br />I did try another Vega product, Whole Food Health Optimizer, and I didn't like the taste. So I stick to these two. With the Smoothie Infusion powder, I also use Amazing Grass and sometimes TJs fruit-based powder and some frozen fruit.<br /><br />I also only use one scoop of the Vega powders per smoothie.<br /><br />I did buy a shaker cup to use with powders, so maybe sometime I will try this powder with just almond milk. If I do, I'll report back. For now, I'm happy with this powder and order it regularly.
