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.

HAPPY FRIDAY, VEGA PRODUCT WINNINGS & FIT BOTTOMED GIRLS!!!

Hi all of you gorgeous people!

I hope that you've had an awesome week full of growth and productivity.

Just had to share with you my winnings that I'm so stoked about! No. 1, because it is quite timely. And no. 2, because I loooooove these products.

I'm a member of the Fit Bottomed Girls facebook page and recently participated in one their giveaways.

Fit Bottomed Girls is a great site for women and girls who are seeking to get and/or stay fit. Here's what FBG is all about per their website.

Launched in May 2008, the Fit Bottomed Girls website features multiple weekday posts with fresh fitness content for real women and girls (and even the guys) interested in increasing their health through physical activity and sensible eating. The blog offers workout DVD reviews—including both new releases and Retro Reviews—fitness news, new product information, personal accounts of their exercise endeavors, tidbits on healthy food, workout music suggestions and playlists, and fitness humor. The FBGs pride themselves on their honest reviews and aren’t afraid to tell it like it is.

Okay. So on to the winnings. I participated in their We Like It Raw-Vega Giveaway.  I've tried Vega products and fell in love with them from the start. Their products are 100% vegan and full of good and necessary ingredients that promote well-being. Gotta love it!! In particular, I'm lovin' their Vanilla Chai flavored Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer. I'm such a fan of the Chai tea flavor. Dee-liscious!

What I like even more is one of the items that I won. The Natural Plant-Based Performance Optimizer. It is definitely a high performance product that is said to replenish electrolytes and provide sustaining energy among many other things. It's touted as a pre-workout drink but I prefer drinking it after exercising. I'm a stickler for water-only workouts.

I love high-energy workouts that are challenging. However, they can leave me feeling a bit washed out.  After a few rigorous workouts I've drank this product and have felt replenished every time.  Without the product-drained. But each of the times that I ingested this after a serious workout, I've felt great.

The only con I have about it is its slightly bitter after-taste. And I've found this to hold true for each flavor I tried so I've just come to expect it.

Bottom-line: I'm lovin' this product! The performance & benefits that the Optimizer delivers far outweighs the after-taste. So this was definitely a BIG win for me. *insert grin*

Can't wait to try the other products which include the Sport Performance Protein Powder and a running jacket. I've already begun reading the book, Thrive by Brendan Brazier, so I'm eager to try, test and implement the things that I read about.

I certainly hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. I know what I'll be doing. Reigniting my workout routine and eating plan which I'll definitely be sharing with you.

What are your plans for the weekend?....
