FAQs

Product Questions

• Can Vega One® help me lose weight?

  We love this question because we get to talk about nutrient density (AKA the amount of nutrients compared to calories). Vega One® Organic All-in-One Shake is a nutrient dense food, so you can use it any way that you would use a food. We love Vega One because it 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.

• How much caffeine in Vega products?

  Vega’s plant-based protein powders Chocolate and Mocha flavors all have less than 25mg of caffeine from cocoa powder. For the exact amount of caffeine, check out this blog post. Vega Sport® Pre-Workout Energizer, and Vega Sport® Sugar-Free Energizer both have 100mg of caffeine, from green tea and yerba maté, per serving.

• Can Vega One be used as a meal replacement?

  Vega One® Organic is a food—so you can enjoy it anytime you would eat other foods you love—meals, snacks or anywhere in between. Check the Nutrition Facts Panel to ensure that it has the amounts of macro and micronutrients that you are looking for.

• Can I use expired product?

  We have a robust Quality Assurance program that methodically tests our products up to the expiry date. We do not recommend using expired products.

• Can I use Vega® with a nut allergy?

  Vega® plant-based protein powders do not use nuts as ingredients, however they are not produced in a certified nut-free facility. For that reason we cannot make the claim that our nutritional shakes are nut free. Speak to your health care practitioner if you have a nut (or other) allergy before using Vega products.

• Why do the instructions say mix with a non-dairy beverage? Can I mix it with milk?

  Being a plant-based company, we recommend non-dairy beverages such as almond, hemp, coconut, or rice milk (to name a few) with all of our products, but by no means is this the end all, be all. If you like dairy, go for it! If you’re looking for a new recipe, start at the Vega Recipe Center.

• What happens if I blend my silica pack?

  If you are concerned about a blended silica pack, please call your doctor. While we're sure this made your smoothie extra thick, there’s nothing to be concerned about. The silica-based desiccant packet in Vega® products is non-toxic. While not recommended to eat, no adverse reactions are expected if the desiccant is accidentally swallowed. Silica is a naturally-occurring mineral that is processed into a silica packet. Since it is a moisture-absorbing substance, if you drank most of your smoothie before you discovered you blended the silica pack into it, drink an additional amount of water throughout the day to help you stay hydrated.

• Can I take Vega® products if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

  We always recommend you check with your healthcare practitioner on whether or not you personally should use Vega® products while pregnant or breastfeeding. To learn more about why, check out this blog post.

• Are Vega® products organic?

  This is a great question! When you check out the ingredient panel of our labels, you’ll see “organic” in front of the specific ingredients that are certified organic.

  Organic Vega products include:

  Vega One® Organic All-in-One Shake

  Vega ® Omega Oil Blend

  Vega ® Maca

  Vega ® Maca Chocolate

  Keeping your personal information private is very important to us. When you create an account on MyVega.com or sign up to our email newsletter, we do ask you for your first and last name, your e-mail address, a password.

• Can I use more than one promo code?

  No. The code you were provided would be good for one-time use only and is not able to be used in conjunction with any other offers.

• Why can’t I checkout?

  What’s the catch? It’s actually the cache! The cache is your browser’s history stored by the Internet. This is stored to help your web experience run smooth(ie). So, if you’ve visited a site more than once your computer can save time by not having to download the same files twice. How does this affect my visit on myvega.com? Sometimes the cache can interfere with your checkout process by collecting old information. If that’s the case, then a little refresher needs to take place. Think of it like a spring cleaning for your data. Please check with your browser for instructions on clearing your cache or contact us. We'd be happy to walk you through the steps to checkout success!

Product Questions

• Can I give Vega® plant-based protein shakes to my children?

  We recommend speaking to your pediatrician first to determine if a particular Vega® product is right for your child. To learn more about why, check out this article.
