All your fruit and a bonus prize

What if I told you that you could get all the fruit you need for the day AND get Omega 3s, Omega 6s, fiber, protein, probiotics, antioxidants, and a 1/2 the vitamins, calcium, b12 that you need for the day in your breakfast? I think you wouldn't believe me.



Well it's true. I'm in love with Vega Complete Whole Food Optimizer. I put in one scoop of the Natural Flavor** into my smoothies and barely notice it. And yes, it does contain all of that. Take a look at the label (Note that the label shows amounts for 2 scoops, so divide by 2).

It is kind of expensive, but seems worth it to me. When I am out of Vega, I hit Whole Foods on a Tuesday, as my local Whole Foods has 10% off on Tuesdays on supplements and body care.


Here are some smoothie pics to get you started:

Post Blending

Banana Blueberry Pineapple Strawberry Smoothie (amounts are approximate)

1 frozen banana (broken into chunks, then frozen)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/4 cup frozen strawberries (a few)
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 scoop Vega Natural Flavor
1-2 ice cubes (optional)
~ 1 cup water

Blend.

The Vega has a green tint to it, so sometimes smoothies will come out green despite the fact that you added no other green ingredients. Like this one:

Banana Pineapple Smoothie (amounts are approximate)

1.5 frozen banana chunks
2/3-1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 scoop Vega Natural Flavor
1-2 ice cubes (optional)
~ 1 cup water

Blend.

And finally, one of my favorites:

Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie (amounts are approximate)

1.5 frozen banana chunks
a handful of frozen blueberries
1-2 Tbsp peanut butter
1 scoop Vega Natural Flavor
1-2 ice cubes (optional)
~ 1 cup water

Blend.

** Don't bother with the other flavors if you are mixing into a smoothie. You don't need extra flavor and the flavors don't taste very good to me. I only like the Natural. And just ignore all instructions on the container and add one scoop to a smoothie for best results.

I am not getting paid anything by Vega. I just think it's a great product.
