1happybecky Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Oh man, I LOVE the Chai flavored Vega! I requested the Whole Foods near my house to carry Vega so I didn't have to order it online anymore. Chai is the best! Berry is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennessee Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Since being vegan, I've yet to try any protein powders. I purchased some Sunwarrior rice protein powders, however I really really want to try vega. I've heard and read outstanding things about vega products. The only thing that's stopping me is this fear that I may be allergic to hemp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenjimac Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 for those of you that know all the proteins in vega better than myself, when is the best time to take it? I have a large tub, but want to get the most of it. is it more a slower protein that you would take at night before bed like a casein, or is it a pre or post protein like whey, or a between meals powder more like pure hemp? any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works out for me and I've definitely noticed a difference! I am NOT a morning person and let me tell you...no more coffee required. I don't feel "buzzed", just at energy levels I should be at. And that's good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenjimac Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks BlueRose, I may use it as a "1st breakfast" lol. I love my breakfast foods, but I may take a vega shake as soon as I wake up or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellar Yeti Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Was struggling with vitamins and crap. For a dollar a day I can cut a lot of calories and fluff and still get all my nutrients. Going to order 3 tubs tomorrow when I get money. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetVoices Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Just found out my mom buys Vega products, gonna have to go visit her to sample it (She asked me to keep my eyes open for sales or cheaper location to buy it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRose Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Bought yet another tub on sale. Have discovered that the chocolate variety mixed with almond milk and muesli makes a great breakfast in Ireland, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossfix Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I used to live in Bend, and had tried, unsuccessfully, to get Nature's and Devore's to carry Vega. I wish I could have done more.I live in Portland now, am a full-time student, and just got heavily involved in competitive cycling. (Track and Cyclocross)I've been into climbing and dancing semi-competitively for a long time, and Portland is a great town for all of this! Especially with all the amazing vegan options for food and clothing and lifestyle! (Food Fight, Held, Herbivore, Organic Athletes, Vegan Bodybuilding, etc.) I'm heading over to Food Fight right now to buy some Vega Chocolate Powder from Chad and Emiko personally!Robert, you still supplementing people's purchases?Let's meet up for lunch sometime, I'd like to pick your brain and get plugged in with the vegan fitness community here in Portland now that I'm a full-time, permanent Portlander again!

braddd Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Unfortunately I had to stop taking Vega due to the intense gas pains and flatulence it was causing. I did bring it up to the Sequel team, and they are quite aware of the issue from their Vegacommunity site. We think it MAY be inulin but there's really no way to know. I had to switch my proteins, and I am upset at that because Vega really has everything in one convenient (well 2) scoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Yeah, some people have had those issues for sure, myself included at times. Something we've been aware of and some of the newer products don't have those issues at all. We have the Shake & Go Smoothie, the Sport line, bars, etc. www.myvega.com for more info on updated new products. Also www.veganessentials.com and www.veganproteins.com are great places to get Vega since both owners are long time members of this forum -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rizumu Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The Green Synergy vibrancy bars are my favorite bars in the whole wide world. Seriously, I need an infinite supply of those things. I'm thinking about ordering a couple boxes from Food Fight for this summer when I get shape, grr! ;] I love the Vega powders too, I've just yet to hop on the smoothie train. I love just chowing down on whole fruit. I'll open up a banana to put it in something and end up eating > half of it before I realize it, haha. Vega Sport was sooo good, too, when I tried a sample. Watching Robert's trailer of him training in LA that he just put up made me want lots of Vega Sport and nifty Vega water bottle to rep to boot. :] Umm, in short, I think Vega products are pretty rad.

Belle.le.disko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I have been using the VEGA Complete powders in my smoothies for about a year now. I haven't tried the bars, the Performance Optimizer, the Recovery Accelerator, the oil, etc. What do you guys recommend? And, what flavors?xoxo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaDen Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Okay, Newbie Vegan Bodybuilder here. What is the difference between Vega Protein Powder & Vega SPORT Protein Powder. I know a large tub of Vega only has 15svgs in it and cost $75 at my local Whole Foods. A tub of Vega SPORT has 30svgs in it and cost $10 less. Any help is appreciated,Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
