I took it to the beach for volleyball, fueled up in the morning for breakfast, and tried it after my workout. It\u2019s hard to tell after having it only a few times, but I felt like I recovered faster than I usually do.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a tasty breakfast for on the go:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"recipeTitle\">The Purple Vega Smoothie<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"recipe\">\n<li>1 orange, peeled<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup organic blueberries, frozen<\/li>\n<li>1 cup raw almond milk<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. organic flaxseed<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 banana, frozen<\/li>\n<li>5 cubes ice<\/li>\n<li>1-2 scoops Vega One (original)<\/li>\n<li>2 handfuls organic spinach<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Just blend the frozen fruit, flax, almond milk, spinach, and protein powder up and enjoy! I left the spinach out and just made a purple batch of smoothie. Then I left a little smoothie in the blender and loaded it up with spinach. All because I like layering smoothies\u2026I think it\u2019s so pretty!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2215\" title=\"Purple Shake 02\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Purple-Shake-02-510x421.jpg\" alt=\"Purple Shake 02\" width=\"510\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Purple-Shake-02-510x421.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Purple-Shake-02-1024x846.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Purple-Shake-02.jpg 1306w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2216\" title=\"Purple Shake 03\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Purple-Shake-03-510x506.jpg\" alt=\"Purple Shake 03\" width=\"510\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Purple-Shake-03-510x506.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Purple-Shake-03-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Purple-Shake-03-1024x1017.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Purple-Shake-03.jpg 1087w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Back to Vega One\u2026here\u2019s what I thought of the individual flavours:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Chocolate<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s very chocolaty, which makes me extremely happy! I blended it up with just almond milk and ice for a refreshing treat. It has a slightly chalky taste, but hardly any. I really enjoyed this one and think it would fantastic blended with natural peanut butter and bananas!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2218\" title=\"Vega Shake 04\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-04-510x242.jpg\" alt=\"Vega Shake 04\" width=\"510\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-04-510x242.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-04-1024x487.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-04.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Berry<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I drank this just shook up with almond milk and it was good as is. However, when I got to the bottom of the shaker cup, it was really thick and made me shudder a little bit. I think this flavour I would enjoy in fruit flavoured shakes better (which I make all the time).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2219\" title=\"Vega Shake 03\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-03-510x258.jpg\" alt=\"Vega Shake 03\" width=\"510\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-03-510x258.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-03-1024x518.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Vanilla Chai<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Gotta save the best for last! I was so excited about this flavour\u2026it sounded delicious. I blended it up with water, 1\/2 frozen banana, and ice and drank it after a cardio workout. Dee-licous. In love with this flavour. Obviously, it\u2019s not as versatile as the original flavour as far as making shakes, but I loved changing things up! This kind was my all time favourite!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2220\" title=\"Vega Shake 05\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-05-510x332.jpg\" alt=\"Vega Shake 05\" width=\"510\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-05-510x332.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-05-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Vega-Shake-05.jpg 1656w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I feel so good about using Vega because every ingredient is pure and healthy.
