Hey everyone! Here’s a lovely afternoon pick-me-up… a GIVEAWAY from Vega!!!
(source)
As you all know, I’m a huge fan of Vega for their 100% REAL plant-based ingredients — their smoothie infusion rocks my face off. I was beyond psyched when Kelly (a rep from the lovely company) let me know that they were launching a sports drink.
Instead of the high fructose mumbo jumbo, artificial ingredients and colors, the new Vega Sport contains organic plant-based ingredients.
Here’s some info from the website:
Vega Sport Performance Optimizer provides a complete array of key performance enhancing benefits including:
- Immediate and sustaining energy
- Increases endurance, aerobic and anaerobic capacity
- Enhances mental focus and motor performance
- Reduces stress and enhances immune system function
- Replenishes electrolytes lost during exercise
- Reduces inflammation, joint and muscle pain
- Improves body composition and reduces body fat
- Supports healthy weight management
Ingredients:
- Coconut oil
- Kombucha
- Yerba Mate
- Green Tea
- Rhodiola Extract (which improves mood, physical and mental performance)
- Panax ginseng extract (for immune system and stress reduction)
- Devil’s claw extract (for joint vitality)
- Tumeric extract (increase circulation)
- Ginger extract (reduces inflammation and aids digestion)
- Electrolytes
- Sprouted whole grain brown rice syrup (for healthy carb fuel)
- Palm nectar (for sustaining energy)
So in a nutshell, it’s the perfect pre-workout beverage and I CAN’T WAIT TO TRY SOME!!!!
So here’s what the lucky winner gets:
- A tub of Vega Sport (valued at $49.99) in lemon lime or acai berry
-Vega shaker cup

*****Winner will be announced Thursday morning at 8AM EST
I would use it for any kind of strenuous workout, but also if I have a migraine — gatorade generally helps, but it’s so fake!
I just love your blog and this giveaway is awesome!! I love working out in the mornings (before my coffee) so this would be a great substitute from boring old coffee!=)
Ooh, how exciting! I think I would use this to fuel me for spinning at the gym. I also think it would be great to use before a couple of the P90X workouts that I have recently started doing. There have been more than a few times that I have “run out of gas” during these workouts, so a drink like this would be ideal. Glad to see healthy sports drink on the market!
I would use this after a morning run!
I would use this after/during an intense spinning class!
First, let me say, you have become my favorite blogger.
Your the first blog I read when I start for the day.
I would probably use this for our after work workouts. We don’t get to the gym until about 6pm and sometimes it is hard to get us going (us is my fiance and I). So I’d mix this up as a pre-workout drink while we get dressed ad head over there. “Improves body composition and reduces body fat” caught my attention because I have been BATTLING with my fiance lately because he wants to get Hydroxycut so bad (bc he is frustrated and is not seeing the results he wants) and I am having a hard time keeping him at bay about. I DO NOT want him puting that stuff in his body! So, any little help I could get in that department is great!
hey becky,
thank you so much
do NOT let your fiance take hydroxycut. he will see way better results doing some interval training and cutting out white starches than that pill will ever do, i promise!
I would use the Vega while training for my first marathon that’s only three weeks away!!
This new Vega drink would be the perfect fuel as I train for my first half marathon!
I would use this amazing stuff to power my hectic college days as a freshman at Aurburn University!! WAR EAGLE!!
I try to eat healthy every day and hit the gym five times a week for RAD sessions and pilates
I’m a vegetarian, so the extra protein is great!!
Your blog rocks my socks with a feiry passion
Love!
Chardy
with a fiery passion?? i’m so honored
and hooray for fellow veggies and RAD sessions
Awesome giveaway! I will drink this to fuel for my runs.
I would drink this for spin class!
Tweeted! @MissyMaintains
I’d use it in spin class!!
Vega Sport would be great fuel for weight lifting and running – my activities of choice.
I will drink this to fuel for my runs.
vega sport is amazing!! i got to sample it and I am in love with it!
running, yoga, and hiking!
I would use this before pilates or before an early morning run (I’m training for a half marathon!). Love the blog by the way
OMG look at the comments! Wahooo! Hmmm, I think I would use it to recover from a “marathon THRIVE DIET reading session”
Really though, I would use it to get further up the Pikes Peak hike trail since last time it kicked my a$$!
Thanks for the giveaway, very fun!
i think vega would be great for step class at my gym!

I’d use it after a long run or to fuel up for a long day of teaching! Thanks!
before kickboxing! =D thanks gina!
I would love to use this in conjunction with my Walt Disney World 2010 Marathon training- it would be awesome!
i’d love to try this before running…i’m just getting into it!
I’d love to try this after my weekly Saturday 9 mile run…ahhhhh
Weight lifting, running, basketball, and tennis! I don’t have a blog but sent you an email!
I’d love to try this after a cardio workout! Seems like the perfect natural alternative to a gatorade type beverage!
the packaging is so pretty! I’d drink this during a spin session!
Almost leaped through the screen when I saw this! I am so impressed by Vega as a company and like you said for being natural. Ok so I would use this for my runs, I just moved to Miami and I’m realizing that I will be sweating about 10 times more during marathon training.

I would definitely drink this after my runs. I usually get a tummy ache when I run first thing in the morning and have found that watered-down gatorade helps. This would be a MUCH better alternative.
I would definitely use this for my running! I would love to try vega products!
I would be downing this stuff before my run! I haven’t been able to find vega products and would love to try them out!
I would drink this before my african dance class, it’s SO intense!
for my elip sessions at the gym. getting my cardio on!!!
I would be using this post running! I love to run!!

I’d use it for training for a half marathon.
I am currently an elementary education grad student and work at an internship with first, second, and third graders. I would DEFINITELY use it to fuel myself in order to keep up with them and to keep healthy in general. I love working out and would also use this before my workouts.
I’m training for a half marathon, and hopefully, a full marathon after that, so I would definitely get good use out of this!
OMG I SOO want this! Anyway, I’m a nurse and a runner and I can definitely see using this for both! I just finished my first marathon October 4th, and it definitely won’t be my last.
I tweeted @hawkjen!
I would use it to refuel after a long hike in Colorado or soon after snowboarding!
I’d use this for spin class, since I don’t carry water on me during my short runs, and I sweat like a beast in spin, this seems like a great alternative to Gatorade
yumm! I run a few miles everyday and I am always starving a few hours after no matter how much or what I eat lately. Maybe this will do the trick and nip hunger in the butt
yum berry sounds delish
If I won this giveaway I used it to fuel up for when I go running and give me the healthy nutrition to sustain my energy!
