Vega Sport Vanilla Granola Hemp Smoothie.

I’m so sorry that I didn’t get to share this last week when it was released. Life has thrown me a curveball that derailed me. So my sincerest apologies but here it goes PLUS a new smoothie recipe I’ve been obsessing over lately.

My absolute favorite vegan pre-workout, workout and post workout recovery fuel is Vega. I’m not getting paid for this – it is just my honest review and testimonial. I’m not fond of chemicals and weird ingredients to fuel my body. Plus I have a sensitive stomach, as I’ve mentioned before. My stomach revolts especially during training. Vega works like a charm. In fact, I just trained and ran a marathon using all of their products and I loved them. They just came out with a totally free resource for new to experienced runners. The Vega Sport site will be jam-packed with free resources including 8-weeks of training guides, meal plans, recipes, playlists, and nutritional education for preparing for your first or 30th 10K race, Half or Full-Marathon. From playlists, training programs, to fueling – it has EVERYTHING! Seriously – if you’re looking to training, work on speed, finding your comfortable pace to tackling race day… the information is all here. If I didn’t love Vega – I love them more now! All this information in one place… one resource created by experts. Love it!

So let me get on to my recipe and then share a little bit more about how to sign up for this free running resource.

Ingredients:

1.5 cups of whichever nut or soy milk of preference (I used cashew 25 calories unsweetened Silk milk)
1 banana (frozen preferably)
1 scoop of Vega Sport Vanilla recovery powder

1 teaspoon Hemp Hearts
1 handful of fresh baby spinach or kale leaves
8 cashews
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 cup of granola + some for topping (I love Purely Elizabeth)
5-7 ice cubes

Directions:

Place all of your ingredients into your high powered blender. Blend on smoothie setting. Pour into your glass and top with a bit of granola. Get a straw and enjoy!

So are you a new runner or experienced looking for more training information? Have you plateaued and want to push forward? Need playlist ideas? Fuel? Whatever you goals are Vega Sport has put together a wealth of information that is free of charge to you.
