• 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. If you’re concerned about an allergen that isn’t listed on the ingredient list, check out this to learn more.

• 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!

• 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
