I love this shake mix and so do my picky little ones!

I am a busy mother of twins. As my boys got older I realized I needed a quick, high protein breakfast to keep up with them! I've tried several milk-based protein shakes, but all of them upset my stomach. I was so happy when I found this Vega Essentials shake! I love chocolate flavor! I tried vanilla but I didn't really like it. Chocolate tastes like chocolate cake batter to me. Delicious! I drink this smoothie every morning! Since smoothies are the only thing I eat/drink for breakfast, I usually mix 1 scoop of this powder with 1 cup of frozen berries, 1 teaspoon of almond butter, 1 banana, 1 cup of almond milk, and a handful of spinach. This is my favorite smoothie mix! I find it gives me the energy I need! This cocktail gives you a feeling of satiety for several hours! Sometimes when I run out of frozen fruit I add 2 bananas and some more almond butter! Almond oil makes it very smooth and creamy. I've seen some people find this smoothie a bit "chalky" and I think adding almond butter or even a little yogurt helps make it creamy instead of chalky! When my little ones started seeing me drinking this cocktail, of course they wanted it too! Now I make them smoothies with it every morning! My only son is very picky but he loves this smoothie so I know he's getting important nutrients! Even though I knew this shake was safe for my little one, I checked with her pediatrician again and she agreed! Since my little ones are underweight, I add whole milk and ground flaxseed to their smoothies for extra healthy fats! I think it's a great alternative to drinks like Pedia.
