Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

THE GOOD: It tastes good in both flavors. I mean, actually good with no odd sweetener taste. Tastes a lot like cake batter and with a similar consistency. Compared to both Vega One and Raw Meal, Vega One is a stevia bomb (I passionately hate the taste of stevia) and Raw Meal doesn't taste bad but has a gritty texture. Filling and nutritionally complete. Price is fair per serving, Raw Meal is bit cheaper and Vega One is really, really proud of their stuff. All the normal good things that come with a vegan meal....good energy, satisfaction, good poops, no bloat, overall happy body, all that stuff. I usually drop in some frozen berries, quarter cup of oat flour for extra carbs, and some greens powder, a cup of almond milk and I'm on my way - good for 4 hours after that before I get hungry. Since it tastes good you aren't likely to tire of it soon. THE BAD: One serving size is two large scoops, and in a cup of liquid its pretty thick. Once you drink it, you feel a bit like you swallowed a tennis ball. It makes you FULL. And it sticks....an hour later you still feel full. It's almost uncomfortable at times and it takes it a while for your body to move it along. Not being hungry is good but it can be a bit of a brick in your belly. The container doesn't have a lot of servings, due to the large serving size. THE UGLY: The farts. Oh gawd, the farts. I went through three containers of the stuff, and I figured I just needed a week or so for my body to adjust. This was not the case. Being a vegan, I'm not exactly a stranger to farting. But this stuff brings forth the wind, and it comes knocking with a terrible vengeance. Not just in quantity, mind you, but blue-ribbon quality. It's ridiculous. It's a constant stream of gag-a-maggot indiscretions. I couldn't be in the same room with my family. Even the dog was ready to pack his bags, and he loves wretched stink. I had no idea that a perfectly nutritious meal could cause such insufferable winds of plague to be unleashed from one's body. Beware, you will NOT be popular if you are affected as I was. Vega One and Raw Meal do not perpetrate this vile crime against society when I consume it.
