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

Amazing giveaway! I would totally use it after a long run. Or maybe even after jump roping, which learned tonight is extremely hard!
it IS hard! i thought i could go all rocky style with it but alas, i am not that coordinated
I’d use it after a tough spin class or weight class!!!
This would be awesome after a long-run, or even on a recovery day. I’ve been looking for a new smoothie mixer and would love to try it!
Recovery from long run!!!!!!!!
This would be great after spinning!
I’d definitely love to try this! I’d like to pretend that I run long enough to require a snazzy fuel belt like my roomie/co-blogger, and drinks this through my run. BUT since I’m not quite up to this level yet, I’d definitely have it after one of my lovely, shorter runs.
Am I weird that I really want to wear a fuel belt?!?
I would love to use this before heavy weight workouts when I don’t like to eat too much and enjoy smoothies.
Thanks so much!
This would be so great for fueling long runs – I’ve been on the lookout for a natural Gatorade forever!
I would love to win some Vega to fuel for my runs…it is race season after all!!
Thanks Gina!!
I would use this to fuel my Spinning, Pilates, and Body Pump classes!
Another lurker here. I’ve been very inspired by your blog. I ran my first 5K this past weekend and now I’m starting training for a half marathon! I would use Vega sport to fuel for runs and strength training workouts.
Thanks for all your inspiration!
I love Vega products and was thrilled to find them locally! I am dying to try this new product on my runs!
i would have to go with before my morning runs

If I won I’d definitely use it for cardio kickboxing.. it’s such an intense and awesome workout!
Hey Gina, love your blog
I don’t think I’ve commented before, but I just had to now. I tried Vega once when I first went vegan but got turned off with how expensive it is. This would be great for my long cycling rides when i’m on the bike for 2+ hrs!
Yay! I have been REALLY wanting to try this but it’s a little expensive and I can’t even find it locally! I would LOVE to use this as fuel for my morning run, spin class, or pilates!
I’m training for my first marathon, and I would love to use Vega to fuel up for my training runs!
I would love love love to be able to use this Vega drink for fuel while I am taking Body Step, Body Pump, running or kayaking!
Would love to try this to see if it can help me run longer than a measly two miles
I would love this as fuel for my treadmill runs! I’m relatively new to the running world and am thinking of training for a half marathon!
I would love to use this for after my longer runs during my 10k training! Thanks for the opportunity to win! (I also tweeted about it)

This is an awesome giveaway!!! I would most likely use this after a run, or any workout for that matter! I love the lime Gatoraide I just hate the yuckie HFCS in it so this would be amazing!!
Right before my morning run!
i’m still looking for the perfect pre-workout warm up that will get me through a 3-4 mile run AND a strength training session that doesn’t give me stomach cramps…i’m really hoping to try some!
I would use this right before my morning walk! Great giveaway!
Oooh post- spinning or soccer fuel for sure!!
I love your blog and this giveaway! I would totally drink this awesome fuel when I train for my first marathon
I have run 4 half marathons now and I think the only thing standing in the way of me and a full is a lack of Vega Sport. Seriously, this is such a great giveaway!
I would use this as fuel for a jog in the crisp, fall air. Pushing 25 pounds in a jogging stroller requires some quality fuel!
ooo this looks great! and I’m always looking for something new to fuel my runs!!!

i’ve never tried powders before. i would love to try it on my runs!
I just learned how to play racquetball and tennis with my boyfriend, so i would love to try it for that!
I’d love to have some Vega to fuel for running and biking!
this would be perfect for my long runs!
I would use it to fuel for my cardio workouts, which I try to get in at least 3 times a week.
What a great gift!!! I am currently training for the PF Chang 1/2 Marathon and could seriously use this fabuuuulous product. Thank you!
I would use it after a long day of work, right before a good Zumba workout
Awesome give-away! Id drink this right before my after-work run/walk!!
I would definitely use for a post-kickboxing class that I’m addicted to! YUM!
I would use this after a tough kickboxing workout, or perhaps after a run. I’m trying to psych myself up to train for a 10 miler!
I would definitely us it before I run!
I would love to use this product while training for the Flying Pig Half!
I would use it after a trip to the gym!! Looks wonderful!!
Not only would I use it on my gym days, but living in Chicago and not owning a car I’m constantly a’ stair climbing and getting to and fro on my own two feet. I want to make EVERY day a vega day! It looks delicious:)
I would drink this just to get me through a full day of trecking back and forth campus for college!
I would drink this after my buttcrack of dawn spinning classes!
I work a 9-5er by 4pm I usually hit a slump and need something to get my butt into the gym for spin at 5:30, but I hate all of the sugary energy drinks on the market now.I would love to try the Vega sport!
Love your blog!
I would use it pre-running. I just started running longer distances over the summer, and am… pre-training for next seasons long races. Disney marathon 2011??
Serious lurker!!! I would totally use it before/after my runs.
Wow I haven’t even seen this at Whole Foods yet. It would be perfect to drink before running. It would be cool to win but I know I’ll probably end up buying it!
oooh I would want this for running
