Customer Reviews of Vega Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer, Vanilla Chai Flavor, 34.9 ozCustomer Review: Great Addition To My University Meal Plan Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Vega since my sophomore year in high school (06'/07'), didn't enjoy it much then. Now I love it. For the past three years I have been using it as often as I can get my hands on it, normally once a day when I have it. I have used other meal replacements such as RAW MEAL and others in attempt to get a 'better deal', and Vega has consistently come out on top. During my University experience, Vega has become an essential part of my diet when my fruits and vegetable intake is sometimes not as high as it would normally be. Best of all, this meal replacement is plant based and mostly raw.
Other meal replacements such as RAW MEAL provide similar benefits I'm sure, but the taste, although I can get it down with water, is a challenge. As well, the taste cannot be masked in Raw Meal I found. Vega is ENJOYABLE to drink, and it is a part of my day I look forward to.
As for the taste, I strongly recommend the original flavor if only using with water. I find the three flavors including Vanilla Chai harder to take with water. I purchased the Vanilla Chai this time because it tastes great in smoothies and it was at a great price. Over the years I have found that my taste buds have slowly adapted to love the taste of the original flavor mixed with water, I strongly attribute this to cutting out most of the junk food in my diet, making my taste buds 'cleaner'. I recommend that you stick with it, and the taste will come along with your vitality and health. If you can't take it with water, make a smoothie. The original specifically, blended with fruit is great. There are also a myriad of smoothie recipes at the Vega Community website and other users sites.
I am a Vegan now for the most part. However, when I started Vega I was not even close. It is nice to know that Vega is not formulated with meat or dairy products. Don't let not begin a Vegan however, stop you from using it.
NOTE: The original flavor comes with 2 extra servings (17 vs 15) compared to the flavored versions, which is another benefit of purchasing that flavor.
PROS
+Taste, original flavor is easily masked in smoothie if you can't take it with water. Chai tastes great in smoothies, however if you are planning on mixing with water, I would recommend the original.
+Low in fat, and any fat in this meal replacement is beneficial.
+Naturally filling.
+Great source of plant based protein.
+Good source of probiotics and vitamins and minerals (nonsynthetic).
+Maca for hormone balance and support.
+Easily digestible, very easy on digestion.
+Controls cravings well, especially when taken in the morning.
CONS
+Cost can be a tad expensive, but considering a meal replacement, I believe the price is fair. Keep your eyes open on Amazon for a good price, the lowest I have seen this flavor for is 48.99 so far. I have seen the original for 50.99 as well.
BOTTOM LINE
Great taste, high quality, fair price. Don't expect a magic pill, but incorporated into a well balanced healthy diet, Vega is an amazing addition that will help you stay on track.
