We love this question because we get to talk about nutrient density (AKA the amount of nutrients compared to calories). Vega One is a nutrient dense food, so you can use it any way that you would use a food. You can enjoy it on its own or as a part of your favorite smoothie. You can even cook with it, making pancakes or muffins (and you can find recipes at MyVega.com/recipes). Vega One tastes great, and offers 20 grams plant-based protein, veggies and greens, and 4 grams fiber in 150 calories. If you’re trying to lose weight, consult your health care practitioner to know what’s right for you.
