Simple Smoothie Goodness

Simple Smoothie Goodness

We all love a cool, delicious smoothie, but the effort that goes into making one — not to mention cleaning up afterward — is another thing altogether. Many people don’t always have the time or the ingredients on hand to make great-tasting, nutritious smoothies part of their everyday routine.

Until now.

The all-new Vega® Real Food Smoothie eliminates the need for fancy ingredients like mint and agave syrup. Heck, even if you have no clue how to make a smoothie, it’s got everything you need to whip up what could be the best protein shake you’ve ever had — in a flash.

Here are just a few reasons we’re so darn excited about Vega® Real Food Smoothie:

  • 20g of North American pea protein in each scoop, which will help you stay satisfied longer.
  • It’s made with real food ingredients such as oats, spinach, and other whole food ingredients (the actual breakdown varies by flavour).
  • You’ll get 3g of fibre per serving, which will help keep you feeling full and satiated.
  • There is zero added sugar. Like, none. Rather, you’ll find the stevia we use to be subtle yet sweet, with no aftertaste — something we’re super proud of with this new formula.
  • It’s 100% blender-free! Just shake up one scoop with 12 Fl oz of ice-cold water.
  • It comes in three new flavours: Chocolate Peanut Butter Blast, Wildberry Bliss, and Tropical Green Paradise. While we may be biased, we can say they are all extremely delicious.
  • And of course, Vega® Real Food Smoothie is Non-GMO Project Verified, certified Vegan, and Gluten-free.

Welcome to the family, oats.

You’ll have plenty of reasons to love our newest feature ingredient as much as we do:

  • Oats are a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of fibre, healthy fats, and antioxidants.
  • They’re packed with important micronutrients like magnesium, manganese, zinc, iron, and b vitamins, among others.
  • They provide the creamy texture that smoothies are famous for.

Just scoop, shake, and enjoy.

Preparing a Vega® Real Food Smoothie really is as simple and convenient as it sounds. Simply scoop your favourite flavour into your favourite shaker cup, add water, give it a shake, and voila — a quick, tasty, ultra-smooth smoothie at your fingertips. While technically not a meal replacement shake, it will keep you feeling satisfied and ready for wherever your day takes you.

Chocolate lovers unite! This smoothie is so creamy, delicious and incredibly healthy! Packed with whole food nutrients, antioxidants, and 20g of the best plant protein to keep you satisfied and energized throughout the day. This smoothie is the perfect breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up!

Decadent Chocolate Bliss Smoothie

Decadent Chocolate Bliss Smoothie
Serves: 1

Smoothie Bowl Ingredients:
1 scoop Vega® Real Food Smoothie Chocolate Peanut Butter Blast
12oz ice-cold water

Chocolate Rim Ingredients:
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. To make the chocolate rim, simply melt some semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler. Once melted, dip your jar or glass and swirl it back and forth to coat the rim completely. Then, give it a minute or two so that the chocolate drips down the sides. Place your jar or glass in the fridge for about 10 minutes to let it harden.
  2. Next, combine real food smoothie and cold water in a shaker cup, and shake until creamy. Pour your smoothie into your glass and top it off with some toasted coconut flakes, strawberries, and raw cacao nibs.
