Since 2012, I’ve been creating digital wellness guides and researching natural beauty products, HIIT workouts, functional exercises, body positivity, self love, and tips helping you explore wellness and feel good.

Welcome to this post: Vega Sport Supplements Review.

 

Vega Sport

About Vega Sport:
You are what you eat.  And what you don’t.
Told from the onset that a plant-based diet wouldn’t cut it on the professional Ironman circuit, Brendan Brazier’s nutritional journey as an uninformed plant-powered endurance athlete began with reduced energy levels and the need to eat constantly.
But Brendan’s stubborn curiosity persevered and after years of research and experimentation, he discovered what sets a top athlete’s performance apart from the competition isn’t training or natural ability alone.  A big difference is nutrition. After intense study, Brendan created a plant-based, whole food diet that helped him recover faster and train harder – propelling him to become a top professional Ironman triathlete.
Constantly on the road competing, Brendan was challenged by both a lack of time and kitchen space to prepare the carefully composed, nutrient-dense, clean, plant-based meals that gave him his edge.  Deep down, he knew there had to be an easier way to get nutrition on-the-go.
And he was right. Over time, Brendan’s vision led to the formulation of the original all-in-one nutritional shake – now known as Vega One – which ultimately inspired the creation of the complete award-winning Vega line of nutritional supplements.”

Vega Sport Supplements Review

I was psyched to meet Brendan Brazier (creator and mind behind Vega) at Natural Products Expo West this year. It was also a fantastic chance for me to sample all of their products–as they had all of their drinks premixed in almond milk and/or water. I was impressed with the flavor!
Trevor from Vega reached out to me to participate in Vega Sport’s #FuelYourBetter mission to bring active individuals together & share how they fuel their on-the-go lifestyle.
All of these products taste great, feel like they help boost my performance, stamina, recovery & energy–but I wish that the ingredients used were raw & organic. That’s what has kept me from diving in head first to Vega as a brand.
Vega Sport impacts my exercise habit & helps me to #FuelYourBetter by:
-Providing me a convenient, portable way to get a dose of energy before a workout (via the Preworkout Energizer & Energy Bar), help me sustain my performance level intra workout (via the Electrolyte Hydrator) and gives my body the means to adequately grow and replenish after a tough workout (via the Performance Protein Powder & Protein Bar).
What better looks like to me:
Lean, inspired & ready to take on ANY challenge!

How does having the right nutrition help me get there?
Nutrition is the centerpiece of my daily routine. I can’t be anywhere close to my best self without fueling my body well. Getting nutrients into my body is absolutely essential–it’s not optional! It fuels my adventures; and adventures make me feel alive.
