Vega Shake & Go Smoothie

For the last few weeks I have been trying out the Vanilla Almondilla Vega Shake & Go Smoothie and I have come to the conclusion that I like it sometimes.  I know you’re going how can you like some just sometimes? Well in the case of this Vega Shake & Go Smoothie I really didn’t like it as a shake & go smoothie.  I appreciated the simplicity of adding 2 tablespoons to one cup of water and shake to create a smoothie filled with

• Two servings of veggies
• 2500 mg Omega-3-6-9
• 11 g complete protein
• Only 100 calories
• 1 billion probiotics cultures

However the flavor was just off for me.  I felt that the smoothie was just too sweet and it over powered the drink.  I alternatively used the smoothie powder in my one hour oats and I thought it was great because the bland oats helped to balance the sweetness.  I also found the smoothie powder great when added to a blender with water, spinach, banana and flax meal.   Overall I did like the Vega Shake & Go Smoothie however the forms in which I enjoyed it was not in the intended “shake & go” style.
