Vega “made simple” variety actually tastes good and is vegan (pea protein)

I like Vega’s Protein Made Simple, but it’s only 15g per serving. They have other ones with more protein but they all have Stevia which I can’t stand. All vegan. I also have bought Naked Pea in the past which is totally unsweetened but would be way too grainy in coffee! It also has a bit of a savory flavor (like peas). I mix it into overnight oats or smoothies but wouldn’t drink it in something less flavorful. I have mixed collagen powder into coffee before and it’s basically flavorless and has a nice texture, so that’s another option! It’s not actually a complete protein, though, so might not e what you’re looking for.

YES. It was the only one that I liked and now I can't stand it. I hate that it's one of the few that doesn't use fake sugar. It actually tasted good. Now it's just another trash protein powder. Some of us want to enjoy life, not just GANZ BRUH. Boo.

The opposite happened with me. Used to use Vega for the last year and a half. This new formula always gives me diarrhea now. Stopping immediately and looking for a new brand.

Vega protein made simple - the chocolate one Just one - maple & banana Just one - unflavored The chai was also good but after surgery I couldn’t stomach it. Vital harvest electrolytes powder sticks. I would mix those with water and unflavored protein powder after surgery (and still do)

I spoke with them and they admitted to changing their formula. I don’t buy it anymore

I like the Vega “protein made simple” powder mixed with soy milk. It doesn’t have sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners in it which seem to upset my stomach

I ordered a ton of this to save on shipping and regret it as it give me the most violent stomach pains right after swallowing it. I never had a problem with the old formula.
