Autumn is fast approaching and soon the lazy, hazy days of summer will be replaced by the rush of a new school year and a new season. That means you’re going to need a little more energy to get through the day, and the right nutrition can go a long way in helping. That’s where Vega comes in. This health-conscious and environmentally-aware company offers plant-based nutrition in the form of protein powders, bars, shakes, and supplements. Best Buy and Vega want to help you keep up with your busy lifestyle, so keep reading and you could have a chance to win one of two Vega prize packs.

Clean energy for your body

You don’t have to be a weight lifter or marathon runner to benefit from Vega’s products. Whether you hit the gym, chase after toddlers, or run after the bus, Vega has bars and protein powders that offer hassle-free energy and nutrition. All of Vega’s products are plant-based and vegan, as well gluten-free, grain-free, and made without artificial flavours or preservatives, so Vega can meet your dietary restrictions and health needs.

Shake it up

Protein shakes aren’t just for post-workout power-ups; they also make great breakfasts and snacks. The Vega One All-in-One Organic Shake in French Vanilla (827g) has a whopping 50% of your daily recommended serving of 11 vitamins and minerals, plus 20 grams of plan-based protein, antioxidants, Omega-3 polyunsaturates, and probiotics. All of these contribute to a healthy, well-functioning body and digestive system, so the All-in-One Shake is ideal for those hectic mornings that lead into hectic days.

If you want to add more vegetables to your diet, consider Vega One Proteins & Greens (618g). Like the All-in-One Shake, Proteins & Greens has 20 grams of protein, but it has fewer calories and is loaded up with powdered greens like alfalfa, spinach, broccoli and kale. Vega recommends both powders to boost your everyday nutrition when you lead an active lifestyle, whether your day involves jogging with your dog or dashing through your office.

And just like you, these protein powders are multi-taskers and can also be used in more than just shakes, including smoothies and baked goods. That’s right, you can substitute 1/8 to 1/4 of the flour in sweet baking recipes with these Vega protein powders. How’s that for having your cake and eating it too?

To mix up your shakes, there’s nothing better than a shaker cup, so we’re giving away one with each prize pack. The Vega Shaker Cup is BPA-free and includes a surgical-grade stainless-steel blending ball which will ensure your shake is perfectly mixed. And because you’re busy enough as it is without having to hand wash kitchenware, it’s also dishwasher safe.

 

Snacking made simple

There are days when it’s all go, go, go, and I don’t have the time to prepare a snack before I hit the gym. Instead, I like to have a snack handy, preferably something that’s nutrient rich and calorie dense, because that will give me a much-needed pick-me-up. With 10g of protein and 4g of fibre in several delicious flavours like Blueberry Oat, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Coconut Almond, Vega Protein Snack Bars are perfect for keeping in your handbag or backpack. If you’re someone with a lot of dietary restrictions that make it difficult to find food options when you’re out and about, having one of these on hand will silence the tummy rumbles without compromising your health.

  32. I’m doing the Golden Ultra in a few weeks. A grueling 3 day mountain run in Golden, BC.
