Not bad when mixed with milk, coming from a meatatarian
First off I'm not vegan, vegetarian, or even close to it. I heard about Vega products on someone's blog who I think highly of and thought I'd try it because my diet is awful. I picked up this exact almond smoothie package at a local Whole Foods.<br />The instructions say to mix with water, but seriously... NO! That was not tasty at all, and I love almonds! Drink this mixed with some kind of milk. Rice milk, almond milk, soy milk, whatever. I've tried it now with a rice milk and a vanilla almond milk and it's good when mixed with those. The instructions also say to mix with 8 ounces of water, I mix with about 16 ounces of milk and it's better that way IMO.<br />Mix in a blenderball and sip on the drive in to work. It's not bad, I try to chug it. The rice milk isn't as thick and I shake it more but with the almond milk I see the little specs floating and don't shake as much.<br /><br />Yes it has a greenish tinge but I'm guessing that's what veggies look like (j/k). It has a ton of good stuff in it, so if you want some nutrition, drink some of this as a breakfast or afternoon snack. But definitely use milk<br /><br />Updated 5/30/12: I updated this from 4 stars to 5 stars after tasting the other Vega products. This is the tastiest Vega health smoothie I'd had, the least gritty, and best blending. The packaging has changed, I'll upload a picture of the old vs new packaging.
Rating: 5 stars
