Hi Tara,
I dont usually use the chocolate WHO unless I am making my own protein bars which is GREAT for! I am addicted to the natural flavor! At first, maybe 6 months ago when I started ingesting the natural flavor I hated it, I thought it was disgusting but now I blend it with all natural fruit (bought fresh, then frozen) and it blends very well and taste absolutly GREAT! I would not change the natural flavor for anything (I wish they had the Optimizer Performance and Protein Performance in natural flavor) because it blends so well. I use to buy the really big tube of natural flavor but I was in my local health food store showing a workout buddy the brand and discovered that they have the berry flavor in the WHO so I decided to get the smaller tubes of different flavors to switch it up since I use the WHO, OP AND PP....which is alot of protein but mandatory since I train at a high endurance athletic level.
I've also found the protein bars (chocolate) to be a great source of energy and keeps me full after a very long workout in the sun. There are still some other items on the list I would like to try such as the smoothie packets and the oil but I will slowly ease into those, I spend quite a few dollars on all the protein and meal replacements powders. Not only does the WHO keeps me full before a workout or throughout the day but the OP (pre-workout) and the PP (post-workout) provides so much nourishment along with the frozen fruit I blend with that my body stays hydrated and I barely suffer with soreness unless I run completely out!
So, I would try mixing with some fruit, maybe banana, apples and pears and then try making your own protein bars with the chocolate and when its time to replace get the smaller tubes of the WHO in different flavors to discover which ones you like best, so if you perfer 1 over the other it wont be such a financial loss.
Ejoy!

I just started using the Vega~ complete whole food health optimizer so I don't have much of results yet...but when I had the chocolate flavor I would blend with mint! Now I'm trying the vanilla chai and I love mixing a banana and blueberries in it, it taste like a vanilla muffin! I was thinking of just buying a couple of jugs of flavors to mix it but short term finance planning I think I'll stick to Golden Natural idea. Because two weeks of the same shake can get boring!
Also in the beginning of drinking vega I found that after a shake I would feel nausea an hour later... but lowering the scoop size help get rid of that. Enjoy your creations!

Hi Hannah,
the nausea feeling is the detoxing effect, you will feel that for a quite a while but do contiue to use the product. If you start experiencing acne, just buy a vegan based facial and body wash and it will go away.

funny you should mention acne... but I was wondering if it was the detox symptoms Brandon was talking about in Thrive Diet or if it was the Food Sensitivities.
Thanks

hi again,
its the detox (most liekly) which is bringing oil to the surface of the skin and the only way for it to release itself is through the skin cells.....I did massive research on it because I couldnt understand how I went from having clear skin to all of a sudden having acne like a teen. Not only was my face breaking out but so was my chest, neck and back area. I did a post a while ago on acne and some other women were having the same problem and 1 lady was like try a vegan facial wash and literally after a week my skin cleared up....I WAS SO GREATFUL, because my self-esteem started suffering a little bit! LOL

The choco late is the best flavor but I think that the natural flavor does not get enough rotation. For the best results follow the Thrive diet book by Brenden.
And to give you the point of making it your own diet not just a product and diet that you subscribe to.
Add ingrediants you like, like chocolate powder from your fair trade bulk bin, check the smoothie recipe section.

I use the Vega wholefood optimizer in the Vanilla-Chai flavor and I too am in love with this...
I don't know whether it is my brain realising this is good for me and thus has a slight "placebo effect" on my mental state, but when I started using Vega (again... I had been off of it for a few months) I instantly had a mood lift and just different state of mind regarding my health and physique.

Thanks for starting the threat which highlights the huge success of Vega for many folks. you definitely can't go wrong with Vega and Sequel Natural products that are top shelf in terms of quality and providing the health benefits they highlight. VEGA gas been central to my own "rebalancing" of my own health and each year continuing to reach further and rise higher.
Hannah mentioned to Adam in another threat not to loose sight of eating a whole foods diet of your own design as promoted by Brandon in the Thrive Diet. also check out Vega Ambassador Rich Roll's new ebook 'JaiSeed' which has been getting alot of counter time in my kitchen. Other great resources include Diana Strobo's Get Naked Fast, David Wolfe's Sunfood Success, Gabriel Cousin's Rainbow Green Live Food, Dr. Hyman's Ultrametabolism and 'Dan the Man' the Life-Regenerator on YouTube serving up his from-scratch juice-soul-goodness.
Vega is my security net when lack of time, lack of gumption or exhaustion steps between my best intentions and my nutritional reality - its great to know Vega delivers up complete whole-food based healthful nutrition allowing me to stay on track. The VEGA wfho, pperformance protein, EFA oil and Sport are always stocked and on hand along with Sequel Naturals Maca and Chlorella.
But when I've got the extra bit of time, gumption and energy some 'from-scratch' whole food provides the textures, showcases individual flavours and a gives me a connection to living vitality that is my true "comfort food" - fresh peaches in season, sugar snap peas right off the vine, sun-sugar tomatoes, endive, arugula...not to mention the soul inspiring colours in it all - its a feast for all the senses.
I certainly couldn't live without my VEGA but I always remember where Brandon got his inspiration for it too.
Keep Rising.....
