Dietitian Pick of the Month: Vega Protein & Greens

Date: 4/9/2019 - 4/30/2019
Time:  1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Type: Health & Wellness
Location: Gladstone Hy-Vee

Vega Protein & Greens is made from a multisource plant-based protein blend, including pea protein, brown rice protein, and sacha inchi protein (an omega-3-rich seed from the Amazon rainforest). By combining several different types of plant-based protein, it offers a well-rounded amino acid profile, with each serving containing 20 grams of protein and between 110-120 calories. Because this product does not contain diary, grains or soy, it's a great option for individuals with allergies. It's also vegan-friendly and gluten-free. As an extra bonus, Vega Protein & Greens contains a dose of vegetables, such as spinach, broccoli and kale-- but in flavors including Vanilla, Berry, Chocolate and Salted Caramel -- and has only 1 gram of sugar, making it a smart choice for a breakfast smoothie or post-workout shake.
