for the past 4 years, yes that is a 4. I have been searching for the perfect health shake supplement. I have tried close to 100 different ones. I am looking for more than just a protein shake, but also
For something that offers nutrients I just can't seem to get enough of on my own diet.( I have an autoimmune disease and it blocks my body's ability to absorb nutrients so this was a very personal quest for me) I wanted something with the following specifications:
No soy- it is bad for skin and digestion
No whey- don't even get me started on how that chemical junk is made
No artificials
No metalics
No gimmicks, lies or tricks
Yes to as natural as possible
Yes to fair price
Yes to great taste
Yes to healthy
Here is a run down on a few
1.Warrior food- not bad but forgettable as the taste was bland
2.Shakeology- the price is out of this world!!!! Also only the vegan is worth the health benefits. Taste I preferred vegan chocolate and vanilla.
3.The whey from off the counter at your local store- processed crap, no other healthy ingredients and taste awful!
4.Spirutein- nice try claiming 0 sugar when replaced with fake processed crap that makes your bowels explode. Some include soy and others whey.
5.Herba life- soy protein so it looses so soon
6.Arbonne- Avon calling, not a great ingredient list.
7.Raw Fit- price and dang a lot of calories in a serving!
8.Raw Meal- taste so so, ingredients could be made better.
9. Hemp or pea- yuck!!!!!!!!
10.peanutbutter powder- where are the rest of the nutrients????
And many more. The control in the shake was how I prepared it. Each mix was made with 8oz unsweetened 30 calorie almond milk, 4oz cold water, one banana, one tbls of natural peanutbutter and ice to taste. Of all the shakes I have tried, Vegansmart is hands down the best!!!!
It has the extra minerals/ nutrients because your body needs those also to function properly, it has protein, no soy! No whey! No BS. It is a very fair price and it taste awesome!!! Even with just almond milk it is not too bad!!
Of the many I have tried, the many that have failed one way or another this one has risen to the top. Have energy, feel full longer, regular from a healthy fiber/carb balance, and easyily obtained for purchase. I highly recommend this product!!!
(Prime Member) In a search for a vegan protein shake that doesn't have bad chemicals/additives and doesn't taste like chalk, I found Vegan Smart. I have tried the Chocolate and Chai flavor (both are great!). For a healthy, high protein snack I usually put one scoop of the protein powder, a cup of almond milk, a single serve size Chiobani coffee greek yogurt and a few ice cubes into a blender. Super delicious and much healthier version of a frozen coffee drink with lots of protein! Now, I did make the fatal mistake of buying Beachbody's Shakeology once before. If you are familiar with that, I'll be honest, you aren't going to find another protein poweder with that many superfood ingredients that blends so rich and creamy. But if you are like me and can't afford to pay that kind of price for your protein, this is the next best thing I've found. We've been using this brand for the past year and are still enjoying it.
This is a good powder. I can't stand the taste of stevia but it's not real noticeable in this powder. I mix mine with unsweetened almond milk and cinnamon and it's pretty tasty. I don't stay full long with this but that's most likely because I only use one scoop of powder...overall I feel like this shake was a really good choice and I'll continue to order.
Perfect, as always. The Lot Date had a 'Use By' date that was several months out, so it's a Fresh product. I've used this for a couple of years, as my go-to quick morning meal, I'm NOT a morning eater. I'm an artist, so if I'm working on a project and can't break during the day for lunch, I have another. I know I'm getting Quality ingredients, etc., with this product. Compare the Nutrient % in this product to ANY vegan or whey/soy (yuck) protein drink and you'll be a convert, it supplies much more in terms of Nutrition than any other I've found. Love the flavor, not at all chaulky or that weird aftertaste I've had in every other shake I've tried. I also add Cold-Pressed Flax oil to one shake a day, and it masks that flavor well.
i had a difficult post operation experience due to severe hemorrhaging. I couldn't even hold my cell phone for almost a week after the procedure. The simple act of chewing food was exhausting. I had half a container of Naturade Vegan Smart in the house from when I attempted to become vegetarian earlier that year. (I failed to become a vegetarian back then because i wasn't patient enough to find the right mix to make it enjoyable.)
Once I got discharged to come home, my dad came to help with my recovery process. He looked in my pantry and found the VeganSmart. First he mixed it with orange juice. It wasn't great but it was much better than any other attempt I had in the past and I was able to drink this cocktail for almost a month. Unfortunately, my stomach muscles are still weak and I developed silent acid reflux. Now I have to skip the orange juice. I hate yoghurt but now I'm trying to drink a bit a day to restore my health. I found the combination of this Naturade VeganSmart Vanilla (one scoop) with 3/4 glass of unsweetened original Almond Breeze almond milk along with a 3oz Dannon Danimals smoothie (strawberry explosion) and use The Greek Gods Kefir Cultured Milk (honey and strawberry) for the remaining glass space to be a comforting blend. I can now have two or three glasses of this cocktail throughout the day without making a face or holding my breath. I use a fork to beat it instead of a blender and it's much less mess and easy to clean up. From the photo, it's easy to see there are no clumps to make one go bleh.

I am so happy with this shake!
My baby is dairy intolerant so I chose a vegan shake while I'm breastfeeding to help me cut out some calories.
The chocolate flavor is great and the nutritients/protein is really good. I have this for lunch and am full and energized all the way til dinner, even on days when I work out in the afternoon.
I make this drink in a blender bottle and I find that it is smooth as long as I put the powder in first then add liquid. Otherwise it comes out chalky. Another great thing to try if you don't mind a few extra calories is putting a bit of peanut butter or PB2 to the mix.
Thumbs up, I really recommend this product!
I am vegan but never consistently used a protein supplement... yeah I know don’t ask. I obviously have been having trouble getting enough protein and wanted to cut out all the soy I have been eating. I have been drinking this everyday with two cups of unsweetened organic almond milk, mixing two scoops in a blender bottle and it has definitely become one of my favorite parts of the day! I look forward to it, tastes like a milkshake and I’m super picky. I hate that fake chocolate taste and this does not taste like that at all. Overall amazing, I feel great just after using it for a week. Has a lot of added benefits like biotin.
From the point of view of someone who never eats dairy, and therefore rarely has any chocolate, this shake is perfectly fine, quite palatable, and I enjoyed it. It was not awesome or decadent because that would have gotten 5 stars, but it was pleasant, I like it, and I'll buy it again.
I say this because in my experience people who do continue to eat dairy or meat have a very different pallet and I want to inform vegans like me who search for enjoyable healthy meal shakes.
I've tried a lot of protein shakes and I've been on the search for a chocolate vegan shake that has a good amount of protein AND fiber. This is the crown jewel. I don't have to mix it with anything but water. 2 scoops in my blender bottle and I'm in chocolate heaven. It's smooth and slightly thick, almost the consistency of chocolate whole milk, but without all the bad stuff. There is no aftertaste, no chemical taste, it's vegan, non-gmo, and AMAZING. Now that I've found this I can stop my search. The fact that there are only 15 servings (2 scoops/serving) isn't even really bothering me because this is SO good, but if they had a bigger container, I'd definitely invest in it. This is now my one and only and I'm in LOVE.
I didn't fully appreciate VeganSmart until I tried another product in the same niche (it's Raw Meal - can't recommend it). The other product bore only the smallest resemblance to a chocolate shake and tasted dreadful. VeganSmart is not going to taste like something from Wendy's - but it tastes *good*. I find myself looking forward to my VeganSmart "meals." Another huge plus...I am a "gnosher," i.e. I tend to snack rather than eat proper meals, and I have (had) a bad habit of skipping breakfast. It turns out the body doesn't like this and responds by holding on to fat! Within a week of starting to drink the VeganSmart shakes regularly for breakfast and sometimes in the evening, I lost a dress size! I highly, highly recommend this product.
