I have been a regular consumer of Vega Chocolate protein powder for years. I hate the new formula. Its gritty and doesn't dissolve. I am very frustrated that i will have to find a new brand.
I use the Vega Plant Based Protein w/Supergreens and it is solid and has good numbers.
Have you tried the Vega? Unreal price, especially on sale ($34/2kg bag). It tastes good in a smoothie, but it doesn't mix well if not blended. But for the price, unreal. All pea protein and vegetable extracts.
Seems a bit sensationalized to me. What is a "consumer report %". Is that based on anything? The vega protein and greens is the one costco has at a great price, this tested specifically the sport blend. It was also at the bottom of the concerning list, honorable mentions if you look at the "CR%" vs other recommended brands. Again, not saying there isn't any heavy metal in the product, but this data means nothing...
It takes a bit to get used to using any of these powders. I prefer vega protein and greens all plant protein. Still took a few days.

Vega Protein + Greens chocolate is the only one I can handle.
ON is good. Vega vanilla is pretty bad, tastes like dusty grass clippings.
i should add, the one i got is +supergreens (where that funky taste might be coming from)
