Vega Shake & Go Smoothie!

Vega Shake & Go Smoothie products are delicious!
Vega Shake & Go Smoothie products are delicious!

I just discovered a new reason to love Vega products so much!

Have you tried Vega’s Shake & Go Smoothie products yet?

If not, I’d really encourage you to try them because you breakfast will never be the same.

These practical smoothies are literally shake and go! You only need water. I actually will admit to have added juice to my “bodacious berry” and “tropical mango” flavours and I will admit to have added some rice milk to their “choc-a-lot” flavour.

Theses Shake & Go Smoothie products are practical because you get a lot of nutrition in just one glass – each serving contains:

* 2500 mg of Omega 3-6-9

* 11 g of complete protein

Fish oil is so essential to your health

If you haven’t integrated omega3 fish oil in your diet, I hope this new study will make you change your ways.

Look at those amazing winter veggies!

I had the pleasure of touring the St Lawrence Market with Sam Graci a few days ago.

Sam Graci (aka creator of Greens+ – the best green supplement in my opinion and I just wouldn’t see myself starting my day with my glass of Greens+!)  is one of my favourite people in the world because every time he sees me he greets me like a family member he’s not seem for a long time.

This latest market tour was really another huge learning opportunity because Sam is a walking encyclopedia of nutrition and good health (did you know his grandmother opened her first health food shop in 1929? No wonder Sam is such a passionate advocate of proper nutrient and good health) .

During this tour we really focused on fruits and vegetables we should focus on during the colder months of the year! I’ve documented some of his recommendations via the photos below.

The biggest revelation for me is the whole idea of how many different sprout varieties are available and how easy it is to grow them. Wheatgrass juice was another welcomed surprise.
