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.

Yes, the vanilla vega is surprisingly good! I use it as a meal replacement with a cup or two of almond milk when I am in the run. Tasty and incredibly filling.

Actually, I just tried my first Vega product recently, the vanilla-flavored Protein and Greens and wow, was it tasty! Completely elevated the flavors of the smoothie. Possibly the best tasting vegan protein powder I’ve had. The tropical flavor sounds divine too. Would love to give it a try next. Or the Cranberry Almond snack bar. Yum. Thanks for the giveaway!
Kris says
The bars sound delicious!
