Vega Clean Protein Review: My New Favourite Vegan Protein?

Today I’m reviewing the new absolute love of my life Vega Clean Protein which has been my no.1 supplement source of protein since I started Crossfit in June 2019.

I’ll be completely upfront and honest with you. The chocolate flavour is the best thing I have tasted, forget that it’s vegan, forget that it’s a protein supplement, it feels like a cheat meal to me.

The best way to ensure your supplementing your diet with high quality protein is to enjoy drinking it. Vega Clean Protein does that for me.

Vega Protein Review

Vega Clean Protein Review

Vegan protein is becoming more popular year on year. It’s better for you and better for the environment – we can all do a little
bit more to fight climate change after all while making gains! Even Arnie is on a Vegan diet these days to look after his health.

I personally use vegan protein exclusively now because I follow a Low-Fodmap diet. I have IBS (fun!) so have trouble digesting dairy and lactose.

Vegan protein then is a no-brainer for me. I use Vega Clean Protein.

Vega Clean Protein

The Vega Clean Protein range comes in 2 flavours, chocolate and vanilla. I only use the chocolate flavour, well because it’s chocolate, and I’m a stickler for routine and consistency these days.

It’s completely plant-based and is made up of a blend of pea, hemp, alfalfa, and pumpkin. It’s also non-GMO, suitable for vegetarians and vegans, gluten-free, and uses non-diary ingredients. I would also add that, anecdotally,  it’s ok on a Low-FODMAP diet and I have used it for months with no issues.

The Taste Test

When it comes to vegan protein, the taste is the most important part in my opinion. So many companies get the texture wrong and it ends up tasting like drinking a shaker full of grit and sand.

Vega Clean Protein’s chocolate flavour is immense.

It was yummy!

Hands down the best tasting protein that I have tried, and I have tried a lot of supplements (plug: many of which you can see on this blog).

It’s chocolatey. It’s smooth. It’s creamy.

Well, you get the gist, I think it’s the no.1 tasting protein on the market and given that it’s a vegan protein makes it all the better.
