- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2016Flavor Name: ChocolatePattern Name: All-In-One - DiscontinuedVerified Purchase********* An Amazon Abecedarian Assessment of Vega One All-in-One Nutritional Shakes! ********
A is for ALMOND, which is part of the new Coconut Almond flavor. This is my favorite for an evening snack, because I sleep better if I avoid all sources of chocolate (a mild stimulant) in the evening.
B is for BERRY. The Mixed Berry flavor is also a good choice for an evening snack, though it took me a little while to get used to its greenish color that comes from the broccoli, kale, spirulina, etc. I like that it only has 3 net grams of net carbohydrate (net carbohydrate is the total grams of carbohydrate minus the total grams of fiber), because recent research suggests that the timing of carbohydrate intake is a factor in whether it is used for energy or stored as fat. Evening carbs are more likely to be stored as fat, so I keep my carb intake low in the evening. The Mixed Berry flavor is also a good base for a banana-strawberry breakfast smoothie.
C is for CHOCOLATE. This flavor is my personal favorite. This is my favorite breakfast smoothie ingredient. But if I am in a huge hurry, I just throw a scoop in a water-filled shaker and run out the door. It will get me through the morning either way. C is also for CONVENIENCE (see the sentence above about huge hurry) and for CAMPING. I often repackage some and throw it in my backpack to be mixed up fresh in the CAMP or on the trail. .
D is for DAIRY-FREE. Dairy allergy and lactose intolerance are two different but common food sensitivities. I have had to deal with both.
E is for ECONOMICAL. Although at first glance this stuff is pretty expensive, it has a lot of supplements built into it and it saves a lot of money over buying separate protein powder, vitamin, mineral, antioxidant, probiotic, fiber, spirulina, and omega-3 supplements. Amazon's price is cheaper than I would have to pay in our local stores, plus through Subscribe and Save, I get an additional discount on the price. E is also for EGG-FREE. Egg is another of the "top ten" allergens. Again, it is one of the protein foods I have to avoid because of a life-long allergy.
F is for FRENCH Vanilla. This is another flavor that is good as a smoothie ingredient. I also sometimes use it as a milk substitute for cold cereal. It is very, very sweet. Be warned: this flavor is also green from the veggies it contains. F is also for FOOD-based ingredients. All the flavors seem to have only food-based ingredients. with no synthetic vitamins or other synthetic substances added.
G is for GMO-free. Nobody knows the long-term effects of genetically modified foods because genetically modified foods have not been around long-term. I don't want to be a guinea pig in this unprecedented experiment. G is also for GLUTEN-free. Gluten is a health issue for many people, some of whom don't even realize that a sensitivity to this group of proteins is a factor in their less-than-optimal health. I happen to have a known sensitivity, so I am very glad this product is gluten-free.
H is for HEALTHY. It contains a balance of superfoods and plain, old-fashioned "eat you vegetables, they're good for you" types like spinach and broccoli.
I is for INCREDIBLY complete. One level scoop provides 20 grams of protein, 50 percent or more of the Daily Value of most known vitamins, significant amounts of magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus, and other beneficial ingredients like probiotics, fiber, and antioxidants. And it has dehydrated greens and fruits that are packed with nutrition. I is also for ICE. Some people feel that ice or frozen fruit makes it taste better, but I find it tolerable without ice.
J is for JUICE. I sometimes use a mix of fruit juice and water as the liquid for my morning Nutritional Shake or smoothie. Organic mulberry juice is my favorite to mix with either the Chocolate, Mixed Berry or French Vanilla Flavors.
K is for "K", the symbol for the mineral potassium. One scoop gives you six to ten percent of the Daily Value of potassium. As a reference, a medium banana give you nine percent of the Daily Value.
L is for LOW-sodium. One percent of the Daily Value seems to be typical.
M is for MOCHA. I personally don't like anything with mocha flavor, but if you like mocha, you might like this. It is one of the newer flavors. M is also for MAGNESIUM, a mineral many people do not get enough of. Most flavors of Vega One All-in-One Nutritional Shake provide ten percent of the Daily Value of Magnesium. The Chocolate flavor, though, provides twenty percent. I KNEW there had to be a good excuse to enjoy chocolate every day!
N is for NATURAL. I haven't tried this flavor yet, but some people report it is their favorite.
O is for ON-the go. When you need to get some serious nutrition into your body in a hurry, this is a quick way to do it. I usually keep some in my backpack so I always have a healthy alternative to junk food.
P is for PROTEIN. There are twenty grams of protein per scoop, so it is a decent protein supplement.
Q is for QUALITY. This product is of excellent quality.
R is for REAL food. All of the flavors of Vega All-in-One Nutritional Shake are made from real, plant-based ingredients.
S is for SMOOTHIE. If you don't lake it straight, use it as a smoothie ingredient and give your smoothies a big nutritional boost. S is also for STEVIA, the sweetener used in the Vega One All-in-One Nutritional Shakes. These shakes are very, very sweet with a definite stevia aftertaste. I would have preferred less stevia, but I much prefer stevia to sugar as a sweetener.
T is for TASTE. If you would like to taste the Chocolate, French Vanilla, and Mixed Berry flavors before committing to buying a big tub, you can buy the Vega One Nutritional Shake and Bar Variety Pack, 4 Count.
U is for ULTIMATELY. Ultimately, this is the best overall supplement I have encountered thus far.
V is for VANILLA Chai. This is another popular flavor. If chai is your cup of tea, you might prefer this flavor.
W is for WTSHTF. If you are a prepper, you will want to have some lightweight, nutrient-dense food you don't have to cook to keep in your bug-out bag. This is a good option. Just rotate your stock and keep track of the expiration dates printed on the packaging.
X is for XYLITOL-free. If sugar alcohols upset your digestion, you will be very glad of this.
Y is for YUMMY smoothies, a quick meal solution.
Z is for ZERO synthetics and fillers.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2015Flavor Name: French VanillaPattern Name: All-In-One - DiscontinuedVerified PurchaseI'm going on 3 months now of using Vega One, vanilla and vanilla chai flavors. Over the past 26 of my 41 years I've tried and used several different kinds of protein/supplement shakes, involving any protein source out there; they've come a long way in that time. That's the background by which I'm measuring Vega One.
EDIT 4/3/16: About a year into using Vega One now; I have lost over 100lbs, gained muscle, and generally improved health. I'm staying with this stuff for life. Vanilla Chai now my preferred flavor.
EDIT 1/4/17: I'm 43 now. Started at 41. Have kept the weight off and continue to build muscle.
*I have hypothyroid, celiac disease and lupus; these conditions affect my options.
*I am on Coumadin (warfarin), an anti-coagulant, and the 'greens' content does affect INR; talk to your coag clinic BEFORE you start using Vega One so they can adjust your dosage correctly.
*I am recovering from major spine injury/surgery following a car crash (got hit by a drunk). I am back in the gym to lose some weight and rebuild my body; prior to the crash I was in good physical and athletic condition.
If you are in similar straits, I hope my review may be particularly helpful to you.
My most recent go-to had been NutriBiotic's rice protein powder over the last few years. Good product, but I need more from a supplement now than I used to. I discovered Vega through Twitter, described as "the Dior" of protein/sport supplements by someone whose opinions I trust, and decided to give it a shot.
The research I did gave me pause; some of the negative reviews out there on other sites described becoming severely ill within hours of consuming it, some even calling it "poison" due to the gastrointestinal effects they claimed they experienced. There was talk of a reformulation which occurred a few years ago and claims that the current version is inferior. I can't speak to that, so on we go.
Vega One is the best protein/supplement shake I have ever used.
I had no stomach/gut upset whatsoever. I mix it with unsweetened almond or cashew milk in a shaker cup and let it sit for a few minutes before drinking it - this greatly improves the texture. I already use stevia so the sweetness is just right to me -- if you're not used to stevia it may seem too sweet on first trying it, or may have an odd aftertaste. You get used to it pretty quickly.
[EDIT: Thanks to Carybear for this info - there is a 'natural' flavor with no stevia, for those who dislike it!]
Let's be real here -- a lot of reviews complain about the taste/texture, but come on. It's a protein&supplement shake, not a Fribble, and your expectations need to be ready for that. On its own it mixes up thick, sweet, smooth and green and it's a little odd at first but easy to get used to. With a blender you can add anything you like to alter the taste, texture and nutrients - fruit&veg, spices, peanut butter, cocoa powder, whatever, it makes a great base to concoct your own über-shake or meal replacement.
Since January 2015 to now, July 2015, I have lost 50+lb of retained water and fat and gained back several pounds of muscle. That is directly attributed to getting my butt into the gym more often and using Vega One as one of my daily meals. With Vega One I have found I have more energy, less hunger, more endurance, and better recovery time than before I started using it, helping me stay on schedule and improve my workouts. Those looking to gain muscle & strength faster may want Vega Sport Performance instead as your post-workout protein.
I now have a monthly subscription for Vega One. I hope it works for you as well as it has for me.
As a postscript, I should add that around the two month mark I discovered that apparently between using Vega One regularly as well as generally improving my diet, my digestive system seems to have recalibrated itself. I indulged in a 'cheat day' meal of gluten-free fish'n'chips at Legal Seafood and the results were not pretty. Too greasy for me now - definitely not a celiac reaction or food poisoning. Plan accordingly...
