(More customer reviews)I am vegan, and pretty into healthy eating, and I love Vega Smoothie Infusion, so when I saw Vega Shake & Go at my local health food store I decided to give it a try, even though I had my doubts as to how good something mixed with water could be.
I bought the Choc-a-lot; this review is only about that flavor. The directions say to mix 2 heaping tbsp with 1/2 - 1 c water, shake, and go. I tried it with 1/2 cup water, 3/4 cup water, and 1 cup water. In all cases it was almost un-drinkable. The texture is gritty and chalky, and the taste is chalky too, with an odd 'fake sweetener' aftertaste. Just, yuck. I also tried it with plain soy milk ... the texture was better but the taste was still unpleasant.
I didn't want to give up - Vega products are pretty expensive (though cheaper at my local natural market than here), and super-healthy. I wanted to find a way to make this palatable. What finally worked for me was mixing it into a smoothie. I already have a smoothie I like made with frozen bananas, dates, and almond butter - I added a tbsp of Shake & Go to that and I liked it. The good flavors and texture of my smoothie overpowered the chalkiness of the Shake & Go, and the Shake & Go gave the whole thing a mild chocolate flavor (good with bananas and almond butter... not so good, I imagine, with a berry smoothie).
I have a smoothie with the Shake & Go a few times a week and will until the pouch is gone. But I would not buy this again and I can't recommend it. I wholeheartedly recommend Vega's Smoothie Infusion - which you can throw into anything for a huge health boost.
