I’ve never been a big protein shake drinker. Sure, I could use more Protein in my diet. I could a lot more general nutrients that I’m sure I’m missing. But, in my busy life with commuting, work and school; I don’t have time to properly balance my eating. In the past, I try to squeeze in workouts when I can (pretty regularly) and make healthy choices.
But I’ve heard of meal-replacing shakes, and I was intrigued. But, if I was going the meal-replacing Shake route, I was going to do it right. I wanted to get everything I was missing, protein, vitamins, fibre, etc., all in one, easy package.
I don’t know how long I sat in the grocery store, reading labels and googling simultaneously. But, eventually, I walked out with a tub of Vega One.
Why Vega One, All-In-One Nutritional Shake?
- It isn’t marketed as a diet shake. I’m not into ‘dieting’, I’m into healthy living. Nor did I just want a protein shake. The promise of ‘nutrition’ was appealing.
- It’s made from whole, vegan foods. Animal products are more likely to be pumped full of chemicals. A lot of animal based shakes had high grams cholesterol and fat, whereas vega one has 6g fat, .5g sat. fat, and 0mg of cholesterol.
- The nutritional line up! 20 g protein, 6 servings of greens, 50% of daily intake of vitamin & minerals, 25% of your daily intake of fiber, 1.5 g of Omega-3s, 1000 orac antioxidants, 1 billion probiotics, and only 160 calories. Count me in!
- It’s so easy. You just mix it with water and go. Packing my lunch has never been easier.
- I’m saving money on lunches! A tub is about $35, which comes out to about $3.50 per lunch.
I’ve been trying the mixed berry flavor, but samples of the vanilla, vanilla-chai, chocolate and mocha are available at whole foods for about $3.50. The samples are great, because you don’t have to commit to a tub if you don’t like it too much. I think they all taste fine. They’re not milkshakes, but they’re easy to down.
The Vega Sport Energizer is just as amazing. It tastes worst, but makes me feel like I’m soaring. I ran faster than I’ve ran in months after one drink.
I’m hooked, and I completely recommend it. I feel less hungry and I’m craving less junk food. I feel slim, energized, and ready for anything.
