These smoothies are a bit of a departure from others since they have green leafy vegetables added.

Romaine lettuce is deceptively sweet and of course rich in chlorophyll, as is the chlorella in the Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer. The two combined are powerful cleansers. Blended with melon, this smoothie has an especially “fresh” taste.

Before we launched our new Vega Whole Food Energy Bars, I made these bars up myself, a fresh batch each week. No cooking required; all you need is a food processor.

A nutritionally balanced blend of easily digestible high-nutrient foods, Vega energy pudding is an ideal pre-exercise snack.

Just blend together and enjoy!
