Vega Sport

I am not a Vegan, however, once in a while I do go on a vegan cleanse. I don’t like giving up on all my favorite foods. Vega makes it easier for me to enjoy some classic make overs. I do have a lot of friends who are vegan who live on Commercial Drive. It’s awesome that I can make them desserts and shakes with these products. The price is very reasonable. I am a fan of their «Tropical Mango Smoothie» mixed with coconut milk. I feel as though there is a guilt free healthy island in my mouth. Sometimes I pour the shake into a martini glass with an umbrella to jazz it up. I appreciate that these are gluten free and contain no soy. My best friend who really isn’t into health shakes but loves tropical flavors = huge fan. We have a shake before we go to concerts since time is always slim from point A to B. No one wants to sit through a show on a growling stomach. Most grocery stores carry this product. I get mine from Super Store and selected London Drugs.

This is my first dealing with any product made by Vega Sport and I have to say I am really impressed. I am a fitness freak. I have been working out and working out hard since my earliest memory. My Mother believed that free time was not an opinion. From the earliest age I was either surfing, skateboarding, running, playing soccer, football, baseball and taking Martial arts classes not to mention trumpet, trombone, saxophone & piano lessons. My current workout routine still includes all the above as well as 3 – 4 hours at the gym 5 – 6 days a week. That might seem excessive but to me it seems normal.
The lessons my Mother instilled have stuck with me. I went on to serve in the Military and Police Department. During that time I have competed in Marathons, Mud Runs, strength and conditioning courses and truly pushed the limits of what I knew I could get out of my body. I am currently training for a Triathlon in hopes to qualify for the Kona Ironman within the next 3 years. I say all of this because I am no stranger to Protein bars, what I am a stranger to is plant based Vegan protein bars.
Well yesterday (05-​17-​2013) I came across Vega Sports Chocolate Coconut Vegan plant based protein bar. It had a pretty hefty price tag attached to it basically $ 3.00 a bar or a box of 12 for $ 29.99 at a local shop in the Los Angeles area. I thought to myself why is this bar is so expensive and how good can a plant based Chocolate coconut bar taste. Well I purchased one took one bite and I was amazed at how good these bars are. They tasted nothing like I thought they would, they tasted like I was on a cheat day eating something I wasn’t supposed to.
At the time I had this bar I was quite hungry and this bar really curbed my hunger cravings. I also felt jazzed with a rush of energy and I look forward to adding this bar into my daily or weekly routine. I am known for carrying a Knapsack around with me pretty much everywhere I go. My Knapsack is filled with healthy snacks so when at work or on the road I can stop and have a healthy snack not matter the location I find myself, well these bars just made the cut and will be added to the Knapsack.
As for Vega Sport itself and their website they offer meal plans, recipes, a forum and a blog. If you are interested in a plant based diet and looking for a meal replacement plant based protein bar you might to look at your local health food store and check this bar out. I am not sure about the other flavors that are out there but the chocolate coconut is amazing. As for the people out there that are currently using Vega Sport as part of their diet, they include UFC fighters, MLS Soccer players, Olympic skiers, Olympic Water Polo team, Professional Tennis players and of course me=)
I will be searching out various places where you can find Vega Sport at a discounted rate. Anyone who reads this review and is interested in these bars and this Company send me a comment and I will post an update on this review when I find these bars on the cheap.
