So it seems like an unnecessary indulgence to buy tropical fruit that has been shipped in from another country. Plus, there are all the issues around Banana ecology and labor. But, every once in a while I do break down and buy some for a special treat - I always try to get the Fair Trade ones. They sure are great in smoothies. :) <br /><br />Also, I am so lucky to have a Vitamix, so that's what i use. But I'm sure that these Vega mixes would be fine in any sort of blender. They are very fine and not gritty, so they don't require any extra blending power.Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-9937587074632586522012-08-22T13:25:50.541-07:002012-08-22T13:25:50.541-07:00two questions: is there a reason you stay away fro...two questions: is there a reason you stay away from bananas? And what do you use to make your smoothies: a blender, Cuisninart or one of those Vita-mixers? (I think they're called that.) Definitely sharing this post with some friends who want to go vegan, but worry about the protein issue. Thanks for the great post.

The only problem is that the shipping is $9.95... so maybe go in with a pal, or buy a bunch, so that the shipping fee is worth it. I wonder where else you can buy them?<br />Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-5384229221720518012012-08-15T17:23:14.528-07:002012-08-15T17:23:14.528-07:00Hi LInda,

I eat mostly fruits and veggies, so now I'm making an effort to eat more beans with lunch and dinner, eat more quinoa, nuts, and just generally be more mindful of it. So, there you have it!Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-60480350318979861132012-08-14T11:52:36.597-07:002012-08-14T11:52:36.597-07:00I'm so jealous!

I'm so excited to learn that Vega will now have a Natural, non-flavored option. I love fruit smoothies but I like the Vega nutrition profile. This will allow the best of both worlds.
