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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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’m training for a half marathon, and hopefully, a full marathon after that, so I would definitely get good use out of this!

    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!
