Testimonials - Vega benefits for everyday health, fitness & vegan diets
Hi, just wanted to let you know that I'm a new convert to
Vega. Not only do I get my protein but it is also a meal replacement. I've
developed a lot of sensitivities and avoid anything unnatural these days so I
was doubly pleased to be able to enjoy and tolerate this great new drink. What
is neat is that I've tried hemp based and other green supplements and have just
not liked them so bravo to you!- Maureen L.
Having been a user of both protein bars and vegetable/fruit bars for a number
of years, finding a bar which combines the best of both has been impossible until
now.
Vega bars do just that. Beyond this, they just taste great. Leading an active
and hectic lifestyle such as I do, I struggle to include enough fiber in my diet.
Vega provides an easy and tasty way of supplementing my fiber intake and they
are a healthy snack on the go.- Eric H.
Vega is the best meal replacement I've ever taken. It works! Because it is
high in fiber it suppresses my hunger for a long time and I have no cravings for
junk food. Now that I feel satisfied for a long period of time it gives me time
to prepare a nutritious meal that I can sit down and enjoy. The best part for
me; drinking Vega was a great incentive, as I would finally get my greens, plus
all the extra benefits that came with it.- Angie G.
Vega has been a lifesaver for me as a mother of two young toddlers! It's been
a quick and easy breakfast shake for our older child ever since she was a year
old and I give both of them the
Vega bars whenever we have a "finicky eater" day. I feel good giving them
Vega because I know that it's organic and it has complete EFA's for my kids' brain
development. I recommend Vega to
all busy moms looking for healthy, convenient food for their kids.-Eve C.
I have been taking
Vega for about 5 months now as a part of my diet and fitness program. I thought
it might help curb my cravings for junk food and sugar. Did it ever! I went from
a soft 215 lbs down to a rock hard 190lbs! It's been months and no attacks. Lots
of people have seen the dramatic effects Vega has had for me and I have family
and friends all trying it now as well.- Jason C
Your
Vega bars is one of the best products I've used. Unlike other 'energy bars'
I've tried, it's easy to digest and doesn't leave me hungry and out of energy
an hour later. Training for endurance sports and working full time requires a
lot of fuel and your Vega bar gives me access to high quality nutrition at any
time, no matter where I am.- Ryan M
Vega has brought about some major changes, which have improved my health and
mind. I have since recommended your product to family, friends, and colleagues
and will continue to do so, as my results speak for themselves.- John K.
I am writing to compliment you on your
Vega whole food energy bars. I just had the opportunity to try one and it
was very impressive. From the moment I opened the package it was appealing. It
smells great; it's so moist and mouthwatering that it feels like you are eating
a desert square while at the same time, nourishing your body with incredible,
natural vitamins and nutrients. Now 2 1/2 hrs later, I still feel the fullness
from the bar.- Joanne M.
I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your
Vega product! I am now on my second container of it and it is the first time
that I have consumed a meal replacement that actually kept me feeling satisfied.
I love the flavor and the consistency of the product. It is really nice to see
a product so unique and with such a wide spectrum of healthy ingredients!-Valerie C
These
Vega bars have obviously been well researched in their creation. They are
highly nutritious and taste great. I love the convenience of having such a good
quality meal replacement readily available.- Trent N.
As long as I have
Vega around I will always have a sound and smart choice for a meal. I don't
feel guilty or like I am missing anything and have to play the guessing game with
supplements. With Vega it is a simple morning: Wake up, work out, take Vega. Thank
you for creating such a great product that has become a staple in my diet. Not
only does my Vega now have a permanent counter spot beside the blender I really
feel like I have the tools to create the body I desire.- Phil L.
Since having a daily
Vega bar, I have found that I now have a more balanced bowel function. While
working in a very busy office, the bar satisfies the need for food until I can
eat lunch. Thank you for such a great convenience food, which nutritionally would
help everyone, especially children and the elderly.- Sonia M.
I'm a new user of
Vega and was skeptical at first as I have tried so many meal replacements
during my life and I am also a meat lover. But after having it for the first time,
I knew I was going to be a regular! Vega sits easy on the stomach and you are
actually "naturally" not hungry. In other words, it's not like your stomach is
"forced" into comfortableness. The overall feeling after consumption is excellent
and I haven't found anything else like it on the market.- William A.
Congratulations on making such an awesome bar!
Vega whole food energy bars are loaded with nothing but healthful ingredients
with no junk or fillers. They are the perfect bars for me when I'm busy working
or before or after a training session.- Shelly H.
As a vegan expecting mother I am thankful to Sequel naturals for introducing
Vega to the market. It was the only 100% plant based complete formula I could
find. As for the taste, it was so delicious I double-checked all the ingredients;
I couldn't believe it was good for me and tasted so good. My husband and I are
both hooked on
Vega. I love the product and would recommend it to absolutely everyone. Whether
you're a top athlete or a pregnant woman, anyone can benefit from Vega.- Ilana B.
I chose
Vega for my protein, fatty acids, fiber, antioxidant, vitamin and mineral
supplement. I must say, it is the best tasting, most complete whole food meal
replacement out on the market that is alkalizing. The best thing about Vega is
that it's a fast, easy and practical solution anyone can incorporate in his or
her lifestyle and achieve great health benefits.- Mark B.
I was in the middle of a big move of home and office, and tight on budget with
little time for outside dining and no means of cooking due to an unfinished kitchen.
My choices for nutrition were few, but I was fortunate to have had two containers
of
VEGA meal replacement (chocolate and natural), which were quick and easy to
make and wonderfully delicious. For two weeks, I consumed two servings of VEGA
and one full meal per day. I felt great! I lost body fat and maintained muscle
mass, while enjoying energy levels that were comparable to my usual diet of eating
5 or 6 meals per day. As an added bonus, the high fiber content of VEGA was apparent,
as my daily movements were regular. The great taste, the high nutritional value,
the ease of preparation and the benefits I experienced through two weeks of continual
use has prompted me to become a regular user of this potent and delicious meal
replacement. Thank you for creating the most nutritionally dense meal replacement
product I have ever used!- Andre S.
I just want you to know that this product is the most amazing supplement I
have ever come across. I took the it to my Alternative Doctor to have it muscle
tested for me. (I have to do this as I am extremely sensitive to almost everything).
The results: very strong - as if it was personally designed for me. I feel soooooooooo
good when I drink this plant-based superfood. In fact, I find it hard to put into
words and just tell my friends that it is something that you have to experience
for yourself. Thanks to Brendan Brazier and to anyone connected in making this
wonderful product available. I just wish that this could have been around much,
much earlier, but now it is and I am so grateful and know what appreciation is
every time that I enjoy a shake. Thanks again!- Armella R.
I really had to take the time to write to you guys. Vega is the greatest product
I have ever had, and the fact that it's also alkalizing is even more impressive.
I really give this product two thumbs up but it truly deserves more, and it would
get more if I had more handslol. The product is so healthful and it's helped me
become far healthier than I could imagine. Before I found out about Vega I was
only eating high acidic foods and the majority of my diet came from meats. This
product has given me a total face lift and an attitude change towards vegans.
This product delivers, and I'm so happy a company like yours has taken peoples
health into consideration rather than just profits. But truly the product is worth
every penny! I just wanted to express my feelings and I'm sure many people feel
the same way about the product. Thank you!- Dean B.
I'm no professional bodybuilder (by a long shot!) but nevertheless have some
experience with using protein supplements since the mid 1980's. I've used them
all (including egg, milk & egg, soy, rice, spirluna, etc.) so I have an idea of
what is out there and the different types of formulations and flavours available.
I have been using a whey protein isolate formula exclusively for the last 6-7
yrs now. However, with all the recent and continuing controversy about animal
derived products (Mad cow disease & the feeding of animal ruminants to cattle)
I have been trying to wean myself off whey protein. When I came across an advertisement
for Vega, I was quite intrigued. Now, having read "THRIVE" and tried the samples
you sent me, I now believe I have a viable alternative to whey protein. The ingredients
in Vega have obviously undergone careful consideration. I believe quality and
flavour were first and foremost on your list when you formulated Vega. In my humble
opinion, Brendan Brazier & your product development team deserve a standing ovation
for this. Hip hip hooray! My favourite flavour is Natural. It has a naturally
pleasant sweet flavour & mixes easily in water. It is most excellent! I love it!- Winston L.
I just got
Vega from Lifestyles in Sidney here, and I am amazed at how delicious it is.
How did you do that, when nobody else can do it??? Your book and website and your
personal message have deeply motivated me and I have bought all necessaries today
at Thrifty's for making your recipes and for doing a juice fast also. You are
a true inspiration and how much courage it must have taken for you to just strike
out and do what you loved to the ultimate, it is so impressive and inspiring.
I offer my thanks for the effort you have put forth. Just last week I made a written
and spoken affirmation to repeat twice a day: "I now have found a perfect high
protein vegetarian food that is digestible and perfect for my needs." (I can't
digest the soy or whey ones, and I tried the hemp protein but it is a bit hard
on the tum). Then in a couple of days, there you were on a front page of the Times
Colonist, and now I have the perfect high protein food! God at work!- Vanayssa W.
I would like to offer some valuable feedback. I have been a student of herbalism
for over 20 years and counting. As a result, I read every ingredient of every
label of everything. In respect to protein powders, only in frustration did I
create my own formulation of a protein drink with the first ingredient being hemp
(been doing this for several years now). I work part time at a large health food
store and I found the largest request with our clientele is protein drink mixes.
I have characteristically sent them off with some power supplements and a canister
of hemp protein, that is until I had the good fortune to try
Vega. I wish to say that your formula is magnificent! The ingredients have
been well researched and are appropriately balanced. I honestly cannot properly
articulate how impressed I am with Vega. Now, anyone coming into the store in
search of protein mix leaves with your product in their hands. It is then only
one I care to support. Well done folks! You've done your homework!- Cheri W.
Running on empty has got to be one of my worst feelings when I'm immersed in
juggling work, workouts, and a workload. It gives me an inner confidence to know
that I can readily grab a
Vega shake and go forth with vitality! I can assure the swimmers who I work
with that this is a live food that will give their bodies the conviction of sustenance
needed for optimal performance before practice, after practice and at swim meets.- Pam W.
I am an extremely active vegetarian Scuba instructor and I don't think I would
have the energy to brave our recent weather if I wasn't drinking your chocolate
Vega meal replacement. I don't have time to eat properly some days and find
eating whatever is in my glove compartment while I drive to the next site just
doesn't cut it. Keep me posted with new innovations.- Amber G.
A few weeks ago I read on Brendan's website about this new product "Vega."
I was THRILLED to have discovered a meal replacement that was entirely vegan b/c
- as you know - they're not easy to find. I was disappointed, however, when I
tried to use your store locator to purchase some near me, and it didn't work (assuming
b/c I'm in the US)... so I had given up until yesterday, when I was in my Whole
Foods in Chicago and was delighted to see a new Vega display! I tried the berry
flavor, both the shake and the bar. I was really pleasantly surprised w/ the taste
and, as an ex-athlete (NCAA Division I vegan athlete!) and now a runner, I couldn't
be happier with all of the nutrients provided. I was a little sad about the price
but, I agree, you get what you pay for. I will happily purchase this product again.
Thanks so much for creating such a terrific VEGAN product!!- Rebecca Koehler
I've tried other bars before and they felt bland and boring....but what you've
got there is a magic recipe. Finally something without honey!!! I've included
your Vega products in my raw vegan lifestyle! Thanks again for your generosity....
and for creating such a high quality really healthy product!- Sonia N.
To assist me in my new lifestyle change I recently completed a 30 day cleanse
which my energy and overall health improved but more noticeably and significantly
when I started your Vega natural flavour product and have used it as a meal replacement
for breakfast and lunch. I'm hoping regular use of your
Vega products will improve my overall health as over the years my body has
reacted to several major health problems. I have found since I switched to an
alkaline based diet, including regular use of your Vega products my health is
improving!- James B.
Finally, I think I've found exactly what I'm looking for. I have only started
taking
Vega for 2 1/2 weeks, but I feel so much better. I have much more energy,
my hypoglycemia seems to be under control for the first time in too many years,
and it tastes great!
I now have a request that my sister receive a sample packet too. I'd lend her
my book, but she is 536 miles away! She is fighting a daily battle with weight
loss, has many food allergies, asthmatic, and the list goes on. I really feel
that this product will make her feel as wonderful, and help her problems, as it
has mine. Thank you so much for introducing me to this great product. I'm hooked,
and will use it forever.- Vicki G.
I recently purchased the
Vega complete meal (chocolate) and I must commend Brendan Brazier, for such
a wonderful product. I also was able to purchase his book Thrive. I am not a vegan
but I enjoy trying new products, for a healthier life and am hoping to lose some
weight, by having this as a meal replacement once a day. Thank you all.- Yvonne H.
