About Vega: Vega is a plant-based nutrition company founded by vegan professional Ironman triathlete and bestselling health author Brendan Brazier. The company specializes in clean, plant-based nutrition products.
The Vega Energizing Smoothie provides a convenient, on-the-go nutrient boost, and is a great way to energize your day! The Energizing Smoothie is alkaline-forming, free from dairy, gluten and soy, and contains no added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners.
The Energizing Smoothie gives you the all-natural, plant-based goodness you expect from Vega, complete with protein, fiber and omega-3s. And unlike traditional smoothies and powders, this mix combines easily with water so you can simply shake and go!
The One Green Planet Verdict: Vega continues to be the superstar of vegan protein powders with their amazing Energizing Smoothies. We sampled all five flavors and loved each one!
The Oh Natural (vanilla flavored), Choc-a-lot, and Vanilla Almondilla flavors are the most traditional of the group, and taste best mixed with a plant-based milk or in a smoothie. The Tropical Tango and Bodacious Berry mixes are also awesome options if you’re looking for a fruity flavor.
Each powder is available in convenient, on-the-go, single serving packs or larger pouches that come with measuring scoops. One serving packs in two servings of vegetables, 10 grams of complete plant-based protein, 5 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of omega-3s. This combination of nutrients makes Vega Energizing Smoothies a winner for refueling and staying energized throughout your busy day.

I won a bag of Vega energizing smoothie mix and it is definitely my new favorite way to start the mornings! As an active rock climber I need my fuel, so a homemade granola bar and a quick vega smoothie with strawberries mixed in is my favorite go-to meal!
Cheeseburgers are covered in salty ceshee and ketchup most of the time- that’s what you’re tasting. Pretty much all of the meat humans eat is seasoned, because if it were not seasoned it would be completely bland. If you want a sample of what pure, unseasoned meat tastes like, boil some chicken breast in water and don’t add any seasoning. Blech. Humans like the taste of the sugar, salt, fat, and spices added to meat- not so much the meat itself.
