I know you guys are going to think I'm making some kind of commission from the Vega sales with all the plugging I do, but I thought I would share this with you...got new literature in at work regarding the nutritional value of the powder mix:

1 serving of Vega equals:


Calcium = 5 cups of Milk
Fiber = 7 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread
Omega 3 = 6 oz Wild Salmon
Chlorophyll = 1 Head of Lettuce
Vitamin E = 23 cups of Spinach
Iron = 29 oz. of Beef
Potassium = 6 Bananas
Protein = 4 eggs
Antioxidants = 1 cup of Blueberries
Probiotics = 100 g of Probiotic Yogurt


I'm taking this on my camping trip to help stay raw!

Helpful for people who have trouble controlling their sugar levels like Diabetics
Help emulsify & absorb the fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E, & K
Because the carbohydrates are released slowly you will get the feeling of being full.

Rather stick to raw foods!!

To supplement my workouts I use hemp protein powder or hemp butter raw and fabulous!

However 90% of the time, just raw food or juice! works great for me..train 3 times a day:D

I also figured out something :D



It would cost me $80.45 a month to use this product. I go to the gym 5 days a week and drink a shake after every workout. There is no way I can afford it unless someone donates it to me or the price comes waaaayyyy down. As great as it is, I think $$68.95 for 15 servings is a little out of control.

$4.60 per serving. EEEK.
