Kathryn, question pls?

Hi Kathryn,

http://www.justmagnotherapy.com/vegan.html

Can you please tell me is this is the protein powder you use?
I was actually looking up information on Hawaiian Spirulina and came across this.

If this is the one you use, what flavour would you recommend?
I have tried Vega protein powder but did not like the taste or consistency too much.

Thank you,
Sham

Yes, this is what I use (but I also have started adding Manitoba Harvest Hemp Protein Powder to my smoothies as well, since I've been reading how hemp protein contains a very assimilable type of protein, and it can help with muscle growth and recovery).

I get the vanilla, but I mix it up with juice and frozen fruit, so I don't taste it (by itself, there's a bit of a 'fake vanilla" or "fake sweetener" taste to it...even though no ingredients are fake. Odd!)

I did try the "vegetable" flavor, and it would be good added to vegetable juice (kind of a "V-8"-like flavor, without the tomatoes, if you can imagine that! I'm actually using it in my fruit smoothies now, because I'm low on the vanilla, and it tastes a bit funky, but it's drinkable!).

Vega is extremely healthy, but I agree about the taste and consistency (the bars are SO MUCH better!). It took me a long time to use up the one container of it I got, because I could only stand a little bit in my smoothies, mixed in with my other stuff. Tastes kind of like dirt to me!)

Sham,
I'm just curious....what Vega flavor(s) did you try? I don't like the chocolate at all (ewww...yeck.....), I haven't tried nor would I even think of trying the original flavor, but I do like the Berry.

Thanks for the response Kathryn. I use the Manitoba Hemp Powder as well, just so I can have a variety. I put it in my oatmeal, with cinnamon, hemp seeds and a little flax seed.

Hi Robin,
I tried the chocolate and had the same reaction...yeck!!!
My aunt actually did try the plain and likes that best, but I tend to stick to the Vega bars. In the Vega bars, I have only tried the chocolate and liked it.
