Vega products I tried and liked!

I tried a number of Vega products and created yummy and vitamin-rich smoothies for my morning meal. Now, one thing I have to say is that it will take getting used to the taste of the Vega Complete Whole Food Meal Replacement. This Vega product does have an aftertaste and the best way I found to camouflage the taste was to add raw sugar and plenty of fruits.

That said, my little morning recipe did bare a delicious tasting smoothie in the end. When it comes to the Vega Whole Food Smoothie Fusion, it’s your basic greens powder that you add to juice to create a smoothie. The taste should not be an issue at all … unless you’ve never had this type of green-powdered drink before.

Vega Whole Food Smoothie Fusion
As I’ve said, this is essentially your basic green powder. You can drink it with only juice or add fruits, ice and yogurt to create a smoothie.

Vega Whole Food Smoothie Fusion is made exclusively from natural plant-based whole foods. This green powder is packed with raw and organic superfoods. If you’re not big on eating greens, this is a great alternative. You’ll also get your requirement of protein, fibre, carbs and Omega 3.

One glass of Vega Whole Food Smoothie Fusion takes care of so many nutritional basics. If you don’t like your diet to become the centre of your universe and if you don’t want things to be too complicated, you’ll find this green powder drink to be as easy as easy can be.

Vega Complete Whole Food Meal Replacement

As little as 20 grams of this product will provide your body with protein, 24 vitamins & minerals, Omega 3 essential fatty acids, carbs, mixed berry complex, probiotics, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, fibre and a full dose of ChlorEssence (chlorella) and Maca Sure (maca).

Just in case you’ve not heard why chlorella and maca are important in your beauty regime, let me elaborate: chlorella is rich in protein, chlorophyll (chlorella is a species of fresh water green algae) and nucleic acids. Chlorella cleanses, nourishes, rejuvenates cells and activates support immune system. It’s also effective at removing heavy metals and other toxins from the body

MacaSure (aka organic gelatinized maca) is rich in alkaloids, glucosinolates, minerals and sterols. Maca increases energy levels, reduces stress, balances hormones and improves libido. The gelatinization process enhances potency and the ease of digestion/absorption of the maca in your body.

This is the Vega product that took me a bit of time to adjust to because the taste is like nothing I’ve tried before. The first time I tasted it, I basically poured the powder in a glass of water and after one sip, I knew I would not be able to finish the drink. I remember thinking, there’s got to be a way of turning this around, so the next morning, I created a smoothie with cranberries, a banana, an apple and I also added a little raw sugar (as the product doesn’t contain any sugar). The end result was a success!

I found out after creating my own signature Vega smoothie, that you can find many more smoothie recipes on their Web site.

Vega Complete Whole Food Meal Replacement bars

I also tried Vega’s bars and unlike most protein bars that make me sick because of their aftertaste, the Vega bars were very tasty. Until doing research on the product I had no idea most other bars on the market used processed and cooked ingredients in their formulation. Vega bars are 100 per cent raw foods and they require less energy to digest and provide a greater net energy gain to your body.
