Vega Product Review
Recently we had the opportunity to try some of the Vega line of products.
Specifically, we tried the Whole Food Health Optimizer, the Whole Food Smoothie Infusion, and the Antioxidant EFA (essential fatty acid) Oil Blend.
The Whole Food Smoothie Infusion is a high quality protein powder that also provides fiber and Omega 3 EFAs. I added it to my morning shake, in place of the protein powder I usually use. It had a pleasant taste and the added benefit of the fiber and EFAs which I wasn't getting in the hemp powder I've been using. So, as soon as I finish my stash, this is my new protein powder.
The Whole Food Smoothie Infusion is a great product to take on the road with you. All you need to do is add water and you have a vegan meal replacement. Personally, I thought they were a bit on the sweet side, but Jane loved them. She especially liked the chai flavor blended with ice to make a nice summer concoction. You can also add the smoothie infusion to the fruit based smoothie of your choice. They also provide you with a few recipes.
The Antioxidant EFA Oil blend makes a good salad dressing. We found it to have a slightly nutty taste which is a nice change from the extra virgin olive oil Jane usually uses.
Overall, we feel these are high quality products that are a welcome addition to our pantry.

They are sending me a sample of their new Sport powder. Can’t wait to try it - sounds tasty and nutritious.

I bought a large container of the vanilla chai vega powder and tried it 5 different times, every time it made me feel sick to very sick. I tried it with water and even blending in a banana and it just made things worse throughout my work day. I don’t know what is in it, but I gave it away to a friend and will stick to plain fruit smoothie for breakfast instead.
I met brendan brazier at a health talk and he said that the products were not cooked, but they were milled at a high temperature and they do get heated through the process. I don’t know if this has something to do with it. But I won’t be using his products for health reasons.
