Many of you know I love my green smoothies. I’ve been making them daily for about 10 years, and so far haven’t tired of them! I pretty much make the same combination most days. No recipe needed, just a general sense of ingredients and proportions, and modifying as I go.
Initially when I started making green smoothies, I didn’t add any protein powders. Later, I started experimenting with Vega products. Over time, I found a few favorites I really enjoyed – and over time, I noticed that the flavor profiles of Vega really improved. Now, Vega has quite a wide range of products from nutritional shakes to sport drinks to incredibly delicious snack bars.
Why do I use Vega? I just love it! It’s not that I feel we “need” the protein. I do appreciate its nutritional profile, especially when days are busy for us and the kids. But I also just love the flavors. Is that peculiar? When I make my green smoothies and add the vanilla, coconut almond, or tropical powders, the flavor is elevated… tastier! Plus, because of its nutritional profile, adding vega to our smoothies does make them more satisfying when “on-the-go”.
After experimenting with my favorite vanilla and tropical flavors, I turned to chocolate. (What took me so long?) 😉 I tried the chocolate powder and created this Chunky Monkey Smoothie recipe, now in Plant-Powered Families.
…and then used it in these Protein-Power Balls (also in PPF)…
I use the vanilla and tropical Vega powders in a couple of other PPF recipes as well. Given my love for Vega, and use in PPF, it seemed a natural fit to bundle a giveaway of my Plant-Powered Families cookbook with some of my favorite Vega products.

Being a pretty ardent runner, I’ve gotta say that the Vega Sport Endurance Gels work like a charm. First of all, they taste good (unlike many sport gels that may be taken by runners). Second of all, they give me just the perfect boost in order to see my workout through with a strong finish! In addition to the gels, the Vega Protein Smoothie powders (specially the “Viva Vanilla” flavor) are my favorite way to recover after a rough workout. Thank you Dreena Burton for giving me the keys and recipes to using these powders in your “Plant Powered Families” book!

I’d like to try many items, but I think the protein powder plus greens will be most versatile. Just ordered your book, can’t wsit!

I have been vegan for 3 months and am LOVING how my body is feeling! I am always seeking out suggestions and new knowledge. I would love to try the recipes and since I am a chocoholic I would love to try the Chocolate Powder could also really use the snack bars as I am on the go a lot!
