VEGA: Complete whole food meal replacement

Has anyone tried it?

I tried the berry flavored one (and barely got past the taste) and now I just bought the natural flavor but I can't stomach it. It tastes like the mold of a rusty tailpipe.

Your experiences? What can I mix it with to make it taste better?

I'm guessing the only way to hide the taste would be to make it into smoothie form, that's what I do with my greens+. Just throw some frozen fruit/berries, plain no-fat yogurt (or soy), a banana, and some water into the blender. If you still can't stomach the full recommended serving, just half it and then keep adding a little more each day until you're used to the full serving.

I think meal replacements are a terrible idea. Both physically unhealthy, and lead to an unhealthy lifestyle.

Any kind of magic replacement.. sure you can choke down everything you "need" but it's the things that are in the food itself and the digestive process that release them/make them work properly. IMO

True - and I would never replace regular food with it. I use it for its 25 grams of protein for pre and post workouts (I don't need much anyway).

Disco_Whore - is the plain yogurt necessary? I can't imagine a bunch of grinded up greens and herbs to taste good with it...

No No.. Greens+ is a nutritional supplement, Tigran. She adds fruit to the yogurt, not herbs and such.

As for the VEGA... not a fan of meal replacements. I prefer the feeling of food in my belly.

if that's the case, u should get a protein powder then.

if u don't need much, go buy the GNC brand iso whey protein mix. it tastes great and it works wonders.

if ur intake is only 25g, i suggest u only take half the recommended amount.

and i think GNC is having a buy one, get one half off sale right now on all GNC brand products, so u can probably get a couple kg's of the stuff for under $50, which with ur intake, would last u 4 months or longer.

I'm sure the yogurt isn't 100% necessary, I just find that's what gives it all the smoothie-like texture. Expirement till you find something you like.
