Recipes

From the Kitchen of Brendan Brazier

I formulated Vega to be nutritionally complete when mixed only with water, but you may choose to use soy, rice or almond milk or even juice instead. Alternatively, you can blend up your own smoothie creation using your favorite fruit, juice, ice, nuts and seeds etc. Vega can also be used as a fortifying topping for your cereal.

Though I usually take Vega just shaken up with cold water, sometimes I pull out my trusty old blender and indulge myself. The following are my favorite Vega smoothie recipes – just blend together and enjoy!



Vega Ginger Pear Smoothie

Just blend together and enjoy!


  • 1/2 serving Natural Vega
  • 2 cups cold water (or 1½ cups water plus 1 cup of ice)
  • 1 banana
  • ½ pear
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (finely grated)

Vega Chocolate Almond Smoothie

Just blend together and enjoy!

  • 1/2 serving Chocolate Vega
  • 2 cups cold water (or 1½ cups water plus 1 cup of ice)
  • 1 banana
  • ½ pear
  • ¼ cup almonds (soak raw almonds overnight)

Vega Energy Pudding

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

Green Smoothies - (Great for detox!)

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.

Chocolate Blueberry Energy Bars

High in antioxidants and flavanoids, these bars help reduce free radical damage in the body and improve cellular recovery.
