What made me interested?

My family eats a non-vegan diet most of the time so it is hard for me to intake my daily nutrition. I researched online and found that Vega One was a popular choice!

I went to my local health food store and found the Nutritional Shake in Berry. 

Unfortunately, I was let down by the unpalatable taste. The only way I was able to consume it was by putting it into a berry smoothie with peanut butter as an extra step to hide the flavor. I still wanted to try this shake so I opted to try another flavor.

Purchasing the Nutritional Shake in French Vanilla was a great choice! I fell in love with it the first time I tried it and I don't think I will ever buy another flavor because I like this one so much. 

The first time I tried the French Vanilla was with only soy milk.

The second time, I blended it with soy milk, a banana, and a dash of cinnamon. 

Both were very delicious!

Tips and notes:

1. Increase your daily intake of water for more hydration!

2. Start off with 1/4- 1/2 a scoop (the scoop is pretty large) for the first week or so.

3. Close the cap tightly so that no air gets inside

4. Store in a cool to room temperature environment

Would I recommend it?

Heck yes! Especially in the French Vanilla flavor. 

It is quite pricey at an average range of $36-40 for a 15 oz (10 serving) container. But I think it is well worth the investment! 
It is available in health food stores such as Whole Foods, Trader's Joes, and Fairway. You can also purchase them online at Vega One and Amazon.
