Review: This product tastes like sipping chocolate dirt through a straw....very gritty. I used a blender to mix mine and it still tastes very gritty, to me. It's also a bit on the sweet side. The first time I blended it with a banana and almond milk. I thought maybe that's why it tasted so sweet. So, the next time I blended it with water only. It was still on the sweet side. This product definetely takes an acquired taste. I'm going to try and finish this product and hopefully by the time I reach the bottom of the barrel, I will have become accutomed to the taste. I was look for a product to meet more of my "green" needs. I believe I could've met those same needs grazing in the hay field...and with a much more palatable taste. With such a pricey price tag (but I've yet to find a protein powder that wasn't pricey), I'm not sure I'll order this again. It'll depend on how I feel once I get to the last scoop in the jug.

Review: I drink this before and during exercise. The taste isn't that bad actually. And unlike some of the other sports drinks, it's not too sweet. Because this contains yerba mate, I tend not to use this product for late evening workouts or I'll lose sleep. There is about 100mg of caffeine in Vega Sport from the green tea and yerba mate. But unlike coffee, this product didn't cause me any 'jitters' or dehydration.
