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

  9. Sara on October 13, 2009 at 2:04 pm

    I would LOVE some of this!! I would use it for my long runs that I have coming up! In the next month my runs are increasing from 5-7 mile long runs to 9-16 mile long runs! this is a whole new distance I have never run before! I would LOVE to use this to help energize me and give me the energy my boyd needs to complete it!

    Great giveaway Gina!

  10. Kelly on October 13, 2009 at 2:06 pm

    OMG, Need to win this!! This would be perfect for before spinning classes, especially on days that I have to run straight from class to make my favorite spinning class at the gym. My class ends at 9:15 and spinning starts at 9:15 so its a straight out sprint across campus to make it there.

  11. Kristin on October 13, 2009 at 2:06 pm

    I would use it before long runs! I’m considering doing a marathon…yes I just wrote that!

    Do we need to comment again when we tweet and link???

      nope, i can keep track of the extra entries for ya’ll 😀

  12. andrea on October 13, 2009 at 2:07 pm

    I read you every day!!! =) The Fitnessista and my Oh She Glows friend have jointly inspired me to do a 10K run FOR THE FIRST TIME!! My boyfriend who is my #1 fan (..=)…) is supporting me by doing it with me. So we started training for it mid Sept and he has been nothing but wonderful and supportive since I got this bee in my bonnet! So I would use this to fuel me for training for the race…I know a 10K is nothing major, but at 36 and having the self realization that, um, the older you get, things don’t work as fast as they did when you were 21, for me this is my first major goal to complete. It’s in Dec. so I thought ‘a great way to end the year and be inspired for the upcoming one!’….
    Congrats on completing your culinary school!!! I think I was living vicariously through you! Good Luck and keep up the great work! – andrea

    • Fitnessista on October 13, 2009 at 2:12 pm

      that’s AWESOME! ahhh i’m so excited for you and you’re going to be on cloud nine when that race is over. and probably fall in love with 10ks-they’re my favorite!
      you know i’m cheering you on and thank you so much for reading my little blog <3

  13. Michelle on October 13, 2009 at 2:07 pm

    I would love to use this for pilates and jogging!

  14. kristin on October 13, 2009 at 2:08 pm

  16. stacey on October 13, 2009 at 2:12 pm

  40. Leigh on October 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm

    Hi Gina,

    This is such a cool giveaway! My twin sister and I read your blog every day. Our season is coming to an end (we are barrel racers)and we spend all winter and spring running, doing yoga and weights to stay in good shape to be ready for our barrel racing season. When we are competing we ride our horses 4-5 times a week and compete on the weekends and that keeps us in pretty good shape. Although, now that we are slowing down, we up the cardio and strength training. We would definitely drink this while out on our runs! Thanks! We love your blog!

    Leigh

  41. Julie @savvyeats on October 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm

    I’d use this to fuel up for my half-marathon training and for training for my honeymoon (biking through Italy or Greece!)

  42. Lee on October 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm

    This would be so helpful during marathon training!!

  43. lexi on October 13, 2009 at 2:27 pm

    I am training for my 1st half marathon in addition to teaching 9 group fitness classes a week. I need refueling majorly and this would help.

  44. niccilerline on October 13, 2009 at 2:27 pm

    Definitely for training runs for my first 10km at the end of the month…I’ll be happy just to drag myself across that line 🙂
