Vega whole food meal replacement

Vega whole food meal replacementOriginally uploaded by ravisraman.

I am now addicted to Vega…a whole food meal replacement supplement. Available at Super Supplements and on-sale right now.

Vega was created by Brendan Brazier a vegan Pro Triathlete. It is a completely vegan product and is in-fact almost 1/3 raw.

 I take 2 full servings daily as part of my increased calorie diet. One serving in the morning (2 scoops) blended with 12 oz soy milk and one serving immediately following my workout (2 scoops shaken up with water). This provides an additional 600 calories a day (750 with the soymile) and 50-60 grams of high quality plant-based protein.

What I love about it:
1. it dissovles well in a shaker…no blender needed, not lumpy
2. doesn’t sit in your gut and feel heavy, seems to digest quickly
3. made with whole food, lots of raw stuff and micronutrients

What could be better:
1. taste is OK. I am getting used to it now, but I wouldn’t call it tasty :)
2. powder tends to settle to the bottom of glass unless you drink it quickly.
3. cost….the stuff isn’t cheap…but the ingredients are super high quality so I can’t complain too much!
