As a holistic nutritionist, I can honestly say that I have never come across a product as nutritionally complete as Vega. Vega has everything I recommend to my clients, whether they are athletes or are looking for a clean, alkaline, healing diet. As an athlete, I have always tried to stay away from too many supplements, but it is becoming harder and harder to find quality, organic, whole foods that give you accessible energy for training. Vega goes beyond anything I could prepare in a whole foods meal. It has everything I need in one quick shake when I'm on the run, perfectly balanced.

I was so impressed with it on paper that I had to give it a shot. And what a difference it has made to my training! Using Vega both for pre-workout fueling and for recovery has allowed me to add mileage to my weekly training without getting worn out.

Knowing what I do about nutrition is one thing, finding time to prepare alkaline, plant based meals for myself and my family is another. Not only has Vega given me more energy to train, it has changed the way I look at food. While I used to leave for a run on nothing but coffee and a banana, now I have completely cut coffee out of my diet, and feel satisfied all the time. My blood sugar is stable, my protein requirements are met (without having to consume copious amounts of acid forming animal products), my digestive system gets a break, and I rest assured that I am getting a great dose of healthy bacteria, essential fatty acids and micronutrients, vitamins and minerals all in a great tasting shake! Vega is an absolute must in my day. I don't know what I would do without it! And the best part is, even my 2 year old twin girls love Vega! I have to make double servings for sharing when I finish my runs with them in the Chariot. How great is that?!
