So, it's Saturday night. It's been a long week, with New Years Eve, a poorly Seth whom has had tonsillitis and a fever for days, ( thankfully it's passed now, and he's getting better ) and work. Now it's the weekend and I'm still super busy. It's 10pm and I haven't eaten since lunch ( which was late, as I got carried away going through the boys clothes that they've outgrown to take to the thrift charity shop !) then we headed out and had so much fun on my sisters farm, got back and I flooded the kitchen. FUN!
So, as you can imagine, I'm not in the mood for cooking, which is RARE for me, as I would live in the kitchen. So, this post is going to be about my go to product. Yes, You guessed it..... Vega One.

Vega One is a meal replacement powder/ protein powder that has so many amazing things packed into it, it's hard to believe. Per serving it contains
- 50% daily intake of vitamins and minerals
- 15 g protein
- 6 g fibre
- 1.5 g Omega-3
- Antioxidants
- Probiotics
- GreensSo, it's pretty lovely to be able to go and grab a quick product that is super healthy, raw and packed full of goodness. Pauly isn't a fan of Vega - he's more of a Sunwarrior fan as he mixes his with lots of frozen fruit and almond milk, but I love Vega so much that I just have it with water or Koko coconut milk.
Pauly bought me a big tub of it as one of my Christmas presents, odd gift you might think?! I'm all about the food and he knows that! ( I love food related gifts the best, I'm not really bothered about clothes, or shoes, it's all about the food. )
I have tried them all over the last 2 years, and my favorite flavour is Vanilla Chai, it has a fresh 'green' taste to it, which is kind of refreshing yet warming in an odd way?!
You get 22 scoops per tub, and it averages at around £50-55 a tub depending where you buy it. Yes, it is pricey, but you get what you pay for! I know what you must be thinking, that's £2.50-3 per scoop but Pauly and I don't drink, smoke, have TV, spend loads of money on clothes or other materialistic things. We prefer to spend our money on nourishing our bodies, which obviously includes Seth and Opeie. So I'm fine with buying protein powder, after all a pint of beer , or glass of wine in a pub is alot more.
I can't imagine not having Vega One, it's utterly divine and I'm so pleased we're now able to get it in the UK.
( Also, a thank you to the lovely folk who emailed me this week with a few tip offs to someone copying my Instagram photo's and links to the persons Vegan blog who had mirrored many of my blog posts. I understand that some things circle the vegan world when a product is new but, copying personal photo's and blog posts is something else. So thanks guys! )
