Vega Protein Made Simple Protein Powder, Vanilla - Stevia Free, Vegan, Plant Based, Healthy, Gluten Free, Pea Protein for Women and Men, 9.2 oz (Packaging May Vary)

Great price and quality vegan protein!!! Nice texture with a high protein content per serving! Live the flavor and low carb content! This makes my life so much easier as I cut calories and aim for 100 grams of protein per day.

After reading some of the negative reviews, I realized I need to write one. This protein powder fills a very tiny niche in the market—flavored, plant-based, with no artificial sweeteners. I’ve tried a lot of powders and realized I can’t do no-calorie sweeteners. No sucralose, stevia, monk fruit, or anything else. I’ve also tried unflavored whey powder and realized that whey must be the source of the gross barnyard taste that I get from milk. So, my option for protein shakes leaves me with plant-based protein sweetened with real sugar. And that is what this is. It is the only product that meets this need. Yes, it has real sugar, and so yes, it has less protein and more calories that something with artificial sweeteners. For me, the less sweet taste is a plus, and you still get more than 1 gram of protein for every 10 calories, which is pretty good. I mostly blend it into non-dairy milk for my iced coffee and I don’t use a full two scoops—usually just a little less than a scoop. And it works fine. My coffee is still enjoyable, and not two sweet. It blends ok, just a little chalkiness. I’m grateful to have found this product years ago, and even when I try something else, I have always come back. Now, I’m done trying other things and I just put it on subscription.

First of all, I really like this protein powder & the taste and usually have it simply with just 8 ounces of electrolyte water, and it mixes well. I’ve been using this Vega product ever since it hit the shelves because I don’t use others that contain chemicals & fillers and dairy & gluten. I like how this product contains only 4 ingredients. Though I don’t like the fact this contains the infamous “natural flavors” (because that term is ambiguous & the unknown) but I haven’t noticed any gut or inflammatory reactions so I can live with this. But here’s my main problem with this product: it is NOT “about 10 servings” as they claim. And not even close. They need to change the labeling because it’s more like 7-8. I hadn’t paid much attention to this before because I used to use only one scoop (serving) at a time with just water or added it to my oatmeal for extra protein. But now that I’ve been regularly using 2 scoops at once, I noticed it was disappearing too fast and I never pack the powder deeply into the scooper. I started marking my container with a Sharpie after each use and had been getting only 7-8 servings per container. And I never packed the powder into the scooping cup. Then I started to read reviews on the internet & here from several others confirming my claim. For my most recent container, I purposely didn’t fill up the scooper and filled it up only 8/10 to see if I’d finally get “about 10 servings” using less powder. Well, I barely got 9 servings and this is with not using a full serving 9 times, so it’s as if I was right back to the 7-8 servings I was getting before. I can tolerate the half-filled oversized container. But what I cannot tolerate is being deceived by false advertisement. Vega claims each container consists of “about 10 servings” when in fact it does not. They need to change their label because they’re lying & falsely claiming the amount of servings per container. They need to correct this and change the total servings to “about 8” because that’s what they’re providing & selling us. If they need to raise their prices then please do so and add more powder to the containers. Or, keep your prices the same, change the label and correctly claim you’re selling me & us “about 8 servings.”

Taste great!! Cheaper on Amazon then in the store. Didn't experience any clumpiness when enjoying a shake with fresh fruit.

I usually don’t write reviews but WOW if I could give 7 stars I would! I was looking for a good, dairy free protein powder that could go with my coffee & this one was definitely the perfect choice. It mixes BEAUTIFULLY, I didn’t even need a blender, you can just stir it thoroughly with a spoon & it mixes very well. No clumps whatsoever! (As you can see in my photos.) It made the coffee so smooth and creamy. Plus the vanilla flavor goes PERFECT with the coffee. Like a creamer, but better because it gives that boost of protein! Literally tastes & looks like it’s from a cafe!😋☕️ How I did it: 1.) Half cup of water + coffee concentrate or coffee (Mixes well with a spoon even in cold water!) 2.) 1 scoop of this glorious product 3.) Add ice (optional) (My coffee was already so smooth & creamy without milk, but if you wanted to add a milk of your choice for an extra creaminess, go ahead!) That’s it! So quick & easy for busy mornings. Very happy with my purchase!

Pros: Vegan, mixes pretty well, no stevia or monkfruit (huge pro!) or artificial sweeteners. Cons: Expensive(!) - only 10 servings per container & container is 1/2 full (plastic waste!), pretty chalky, minimal vanilla flavor. I probably wouldn’t buy it again, just because of cost, unless I couldn’t find anything better. It’s not an eye-popper, by any means, but it’s ok. I use it in conjunction with a lot of other things, like frozen fruit, peanut butter powder, cocoa, spices & flavorings, pumpkin, etc. and just call it good as being more protein in my morning shake.

I love this powder for easy use when I need a fuel source before or after a workout that contains a mix of carbs and protein without a bunch of extra stuff in there. I don't like the taste of most artificial sweeteners, and a lot of other drink mixes are sweetened with artificial sweeteners, so they're out. This works well, tastes pretty good, and mixes well with milk in a shaker bottle or blender to make for a super quick fuel source that hits the needs I have.
