Vega One Organic All-in-One Shakes provide Plant-Based Nutrition

Smoothies are a daily ritual in our home, whether it’s a toasty 90 degrees out or snowing and hovering at the freezing mark. We simply bundle up! So I’m always interested in smoothie supplements, and had heard so many good things about Vega One Organic All-in-One Shakes (formerly known as Vegan One Nutritional Shakes). Vega offers a huge line of protein powders, but according to the company, Vega One is their best seller.

Vega One Organic All-in-One Shakes provide Plant-Based Nutrition

As the name implies, Vega One Organic All-in-One Shakes are actually intended as an addition water, milk alternative, or juice. To accurately test, I tried a couple flavors straight-up in a glass of cool water. I don’t typically like shake mixes in this fashion, but they were surprisingly drinkable – perfectly sweet, nice flavor, and just a bit of that protein powder texture that seems near impossible to avoid.

Nonetheless, I still liked the Vega One Nutritional Shakes best when blended with a frozen banana and milk alternative, for a true shake experience. It also cut down on the slight powdery texture and added a nice, naturally sweet flavor to the mix. Whether with water or a banana, I would personally use a little less than the recommended serving as it thickens tremendously! I tend to like thin and drinkable or super thick, cool and creamy, but not so much in between.

But it would be remiss if I didn’t discuss the actual nutrition aspect of Vega One Organic All-in-One Shakes. They recently went organic, and increased their protein per serving to 20 grams. But these aren’t just protein powders. They also contain omega 3 fatty acids (from seeds), probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, greens, and are fortified with vitamins and minerals.

I’ve included detailed information for the flavors that I tried, followed by a quick list of the other flavors available.

French Vanilla

So far, this flavor is my hands down favorite. It has the perfect sweetness and a nice warm vanilla flavor.

Berry

I thought this was good, but lacked the depth in flavor of the other two.

Loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, protein, fiber, omega 3s, probiotics, prebiotics, and more, it’s actually a bit hard to believe how good this vegan supplemental mix tastes. I really liked the French Vanilla, voting the Chocolate in as a pleasant second. They do work well simply stirred into water or dairy-free milk alternative, but we liked them best when blended with a frozen banana, too, for a true cool and creamy shake experience.
