Premier Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter 30g and Vega Essential Protein in chocolate
I use Liquid IV Firecracker, Vega protein powder in chocolate (I prefer vegan protein powders) and I take 500mg mag citrate at night to help with sleep and keeping things smooth.
I like Vega chocolate protein shakes. They’re made with pea protein.
I like Orgain for vanilla and Vega for chocolate (the Vega vanilla is a little too cake batter-y for me)
Such a frustrating process with no good solutions as NSF and Clean Project both recommend products that are either loaded with fillers and thus lower actual protein vs cost ratio. Clean Label Project recommends only one plant based product (KompleX) and of course it's sold out on their website and Amazon. NSF recommends Vega and Thorne. Vega is organic BUT only the flavored versions. Thorne not organic, cost prohibitive for daily use. Also very concerned how much lead I've been consuming from my daily pea and previous soy protein smoothies for the past 25 years. As a 9 year vegan, 30 year vegetarian, I only get about 30-40 grams of protein a day, which is definitely low for running 3 miles daily and weight lifting.
Yeah I tried vega too! Turns out it’s not entirely Canadian anymore, and i didn’t quite like the taste!
Yeah I tried Vega earlier but I didn’t like the taste tbh😬
I realized recently I’ve been using Vega for almost 20 years and that makes me feel so so old lol. I currently have 3 different formulations in my kitchen.
I enjoy Vega as well especially the price.
Feeling your last point about affordability. I use Vega every day so it goes fast but, can be found on sale or on the Zon if need be.
Vega is disgusting I don’t know how people stomach it 😂😂😂 it is good on ingredients and price because DANG is it heavy on the flavorings
Costco has great brands like Good Protein and also Vega which I like. Also consider some Creatine Monohydrate which also at Costco for a great price.
