Vitasave Plant-Based All-In-One Shake - Vanilla (716 g)

Vitasave Plant-Based All-In-One Shake in Vanilla Flavour is a vegan drink mix that puts 20 g of plant protein, greens, a fruit and vegetable blend, a probiotic culture and added vitamins and minerals into one 36 g scoop. The 716 g tub holds about 19 scoops. It is Vitasave's own formula, and the tub is marked Made in Canada.

Nutrition per scoop

One 36 g scoop has 130 Calories, 20 g of protein, 9 g of carbohydrate and 4 g of fat, of which 1 g is saturated and 0 g trans. Fibre is 7 g, a quarter of the daily value, and sugars are only 1 g. Sodium is 220 mg and there is no cholesterol.

The vitamin and mineral premix is spread evenly. Vitamins A, C, E and K, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, biotin and pantothenate each sit at 33% to 35% of the daily value. Vitamin D is 45% (9 µg), folate 38%, vitamin B12 75% (1.8 µg) and iron 50% (9 mg). Calcium, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium are lower, from 2% to 6%. The full panel is under Ingredients.

What is in the scoop

Pea protein is the first ingredient, with brown rice protein added, so all of the protein is plant-based. Inulin, flaxseed, acacia gum, apple fibre and chia seed supply the fibre. The greens are spirulina, chlorella, kale and kelp. The fruit and vegetable blend adds spinach, broccoli, carrot, sweet potato, orange, apple, strawberry and shiitake and maitake mushrooms, alongside acerola berry, açaí juice powder and Concord grape powder.

Papain, an enzyme from papaya, is part of the mix, as is the probiotic Bacillus coagulans at 1 billion CFU per 36 g serving. Natural flavours and stevia leaf extract give the vanilla taste, and there is no added sugar in the list. The tub states it is made without gluten, soy or dairy, and it is non-GMO.

How it compares

The same shake also comes in Chocolate, in a 799 g tub with a 40 g scoop and 20 servings. Vanilla is the plainer base of the two and blends easily with fruit, nut butter or coffee. Next to a plain pea protein powder, this tub adds the greens, fibre, probiotic culture and vitamin and mineral premix, so a single scoop replaces two or three separate tubs on the shelf.

How to use it

Add one scoop to 250 mL of cold water or another drink, such as oat or almond milk, and shake or blend until smooth. It also works in a smoothie with fruit and ice. Use it at breakfast, at lunch or after a workout, whichever fits your day. The full directions are under How to Take.

Who it suits

It suits vegans and vegetarians, people who avoid dairy, soy or gluten, and anyone who wants a quick shake with protein, fibre and a wide range of vitamins in one scoop.
