MY VEGA LOVE


Vega products
   Hi Beautifuls!


 
I’ve noticed something about my workouts. I function better off of smoothies and shakes before working out. I honestly thought that I needed to eat solid foods before working out but I’ve seen (and felt) the difference between the two. And when I say, "before a work-out", I'm referring to breakfast and all things an hour or so before I exercise. When I’ve only had shakes, smoothies and/or juices, I have more energy during and after the workout. When I’ve eaten solid foods before a workout, I feel a bit sluggish and have to push more thru a workout.


 
Anyhoo, I want to tell you all about a product that is really turning out to be a plus for my workouts, as far as recovery and energy is concerned. I’m using Vega products that I won some months ago thru a giveaway by FitBottomGirls.com.

 
The products that I'm lovin' for my workouts are the Vega Sport Natural Plant-Based Performance Optimizer and the Vega Sport Natural Plant-Based Performance Protein powders.
 
Vega Sport Natural Plant-Based Performance Optimizer


 
  • Provides immediate & sustainable energy.
  • Increases endurance, aerobic & anaerobic capacity.
  • Enhances mental focus & motor performance.
  • Reduces stress & enhances immune system function.
  • Replenishes electrolytes lost during exercise.
  • Reduces inflammation, joint & muscle pain.
  • Improves body composition & reduces body fat.
  • Supports healthy weight management.

 

 
Vega Sport Natural Plant-Based Performance Protein

 
  • Improves exercise performance.
  • Maintains strength in workouts.
  • Increases muscle protein synthesis.
  • Develops and maintains bone strength.
  • Assists in muscle cell repair after exercise.
  • Reduces inflammation, soreness and fatigue.
  • Reduces length of recovery between training.
  • Provides immune support following exercise.

 
It honestly took me a minute to get used to the taste of these. Both products seemed to have a bit of an after-taste, but it seems that I suddenly am fine with it. Don’t know why. I just am. I just know that I think this is a great product for those who exercise and are looking to use high performance supplements and/or meal replacements natural, plant-based, and healthy.
If you'd like to know more about the Vega company, here are their company principles.
  • Plant-based whole foods are the true future of optimal health
  • Raw, alkalinizing foods are the best defense against illness and disease
  • Nutrient density is more important than calories
  • Food should provide energy, not drain it
  • Food should energize through nourishment, not stimulation
  • Avoid common allergens to reduce food sensitivities
  • It is possible to grow a younger body

 
And based on my experience, I can vouch for a few of these. Don’t know about you, but I can’t help but love a company with these types of principles. You can find out more about Vega products and purchase them at MyVega.com.


Vega Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer

One of my fav products of theirs is the Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer, in Vanilla Chai flavor. Yummm. Often, when I go to refill on this, the stores are temporarily out of this particular flavor. Bugs the crap outta me but is certainly a testament to its great taste. I recently discovered my love for the Chocolate flavor, also. All I do is add a frozen banana and unsweetened Hemp milk and the result is a delicious and quick smoothie. When I’ve been in a crunch, meaning without Hemp milk or Almond milk, I use filtered water. Still tastes delicious.

I am definitely continuing use of their products as a part of my daily regimen.
