Vega Energizing Smoothie Review/Giveaway

Categories: Giveaways, Stuff I Love, Vega Sport Nutrition Review

 

I am a huge fan of all things Vega. These Energizing Smoothies were no exception. What could be easier than a complete shake in a convenient, portable envelope? Each serving has:

  • 2 servings of veggies
  • 10 grams of complete, plant-based protein
  • 5 grams of fiber
  • 1 gram of Omega-3.

Shake it up just with some water or splash in some of your favorite juice, almond milk (hello beloved coconut milk), add fruit, spinach, whatever floats your boat. I may have added coffee to the chocolate one…just saying… While I enjoyed the ease and convenience of tossing one of these packets in my gym bag and just adding water, I admit I preferred the taste when I added frozen fruit, spinach, coconut milk, etc. and whipped it up in the blender.

There are 5 great flavors:

  • Chocolate
  • Berry
  • Vanilla Almond
  • Tropical
  • Natural

Be sure to enter Vega’s Get Energized Photo Contest! 110 prizes are up for grabs! Here’s me with my ‘black beauty’ recovery shake after yesterday’s crazy humid long(ish) run. I made it with Vega Energizing Smoothie in natural, coconut milk, Spirulina, Spinach, frozen berries and a splash of cherry juice.

Win It!

One lucky reader will receive 3 large envelopes of Vega Energizing Smoothie in their most popular flavors: chocolate, vanilla almond and berry.

What is your favorite shake/smoothie ingredient?

Do you name your shakes?

  1. They look good.. I have never tried any of the flavors but would love too!

  2. Such a “cop-out” answer, but the chocolate sounds amazing!

  3. i love the vega one and protein powder!
    i’ve never tried these and would love to win :)

  4. I would try any of the flavors but Tropical would be my first pick :)

  5. lindsay says:

    OH I LOVE THESE!! I make little banana protein puddings with the chocolate and the vanilla almond. So good!!

  6. I felt the same way! The shakes were a little gritty when you just mixed them with liquid.

  7. Kristy Doyle says:

    I think Chocolate most appeals to me, because I use vanilla protein powder so much already.

  8. I would like either the berry or the tropical, those sound really good!

  9. I LOVE Vega, especially that it’s plant-based nutrition, without all the extra junk a lot of so-called energy drinks have that our bodies just don’t need. Their sports nutrition line is great, too, especially their electrolyte drink powder.

    Never tried their stuff before, but would love to. Love plant-based nutrition.

    Tropical flavor sounds great!

  11. Obvi I’d like to try anything with chocolate in it! You don’t look like you just ran a hot and humid run!!

  12. Leslie says:

    I would love to try this!

  13. Terzah says:

    Chocolate! Of course!

  14. Woot! I just bought some samples yesterday at Fruitful Yield! Can’t wait to try esp the chocolate!

  15. Hilary says:

    Chocolate looks great for having by itself, but natural seems ideal for mixing with smoothies! Yum!

  16. Mmm, the berry sounds good to me. I’ve never tried these, what a great idea!

  17. Kathy R says:

    Nom!!! Chocolate – absolutely!!!

  18. Carly says:

    Definitely the chocolate!

  19. Kelsey says:

    Berry sounds best to me! :)

  20. Laurel C says:

    Definitely chocolate!

  21. I’m all for vanilla flavored smoothies. I’m a little “eh” about berry smoothies, because they can sometime taste a little to forced in flavor. I LOVE adding frozen bananas to my smoothies, as well as pineapple.

  22. Vanilla almond sounds tasty, although I usually opt for the most ‘natural’ option available :)

  23. Jordan D says:

    The vanilla almond sounds delicious!

  24. Renata says:

    Vanilla Almond sounds like a tasty unique flavor!

  25. Georgiana says:

    Berry would be sweet in fruit smoothies!

    I’ve never had Vega but I would love to try it. They all sound good.

  30. Mandy says:

    I have not had good experience with protein/workout drinks in the past…but I’ll try anything once. The vanilla-almond appeals to me the most, because it’s different. ;)

  31. Jenna Z says:

    Vanilla almond sounds great, I LOVE almond anything!

  32. My favorite shake/smoothie ingredient is chocolate:)

  33. I’d love to try the Vanilla Almond.. interested to taste how the almond affects the flavor!
