I find Hemp based proteins to be the best, Vega, Shake and Go and just bumping up your protein in general, I always add in a bit extra Mums Hemp protein, also Salba is great for controlling your sugar cravings and provides a great fiber along with a…
Congratulations Charlene!!! I love your recipe's!
Thanks for the heads up! I got it too!
Hey Johnny,
No need to worry bud, it happens.. I didn't have much of an issue when I lived in the Bow Valley, but now that I live in Vancouver and the water quality isn't so great, it happens a lot! but just clean it out from time to time, and you…
John Mackey!
For those of you that live in Vancouver, you can purchase it now, at all Genesis Nutrition locations!
Tried all 4 flavors, and they are all GREAT!! Wow I am very impressed, I never thought I would find a Vegetarian protein that tastes this good!
Thanks Vega!
Hi Shanelle,
Another product I really enjoy is Achiva! It has such a smooth taste! it's a bit hard to find, but a great product!I personally use both Vega and Achiva.
Hi Derek. I thought I was the only one who didn't like the taste right away, but I guzzled it anyway. I purchased the chocolate yesterday evening since WHole Foods does not carry the Vanilla Chai flavor. I'm used to the almost sand like composition…

To me the WFHO would best serve to 'Break the Fast'...breakfast; complete nutrition with out the heavy feeling in your stomach. I have not yet seen the VSP but from what I understand it is to be a protien boost for heavy training days to s…
Try playing around with it a little more! Last weekend at the calgary health show we blended it with water and frozen fruit...it was great!
Hey Allison - VWFHO is more of an all-in-one meal replacement including complete protein, 100% RDI vitamins and minerals, probiotics, MacaSure, ChlorEssence, antioxidant blend, and digestive enzymes. The VSPP also has complete protein but instead in…
I got the email last week, sadly, a week after I re-ordered 3 large canisters of Whole Food Optimizer. Can anyone tell me what the difference (nutritionally) between WFHO and the Vega Sport Protein? I currently do an intense 5x weekly bootcamp, work…
Tried it for the first time today.... AMAZING
Would love someone in the know to weigh in on when one would use Whole Food Health Optimizer and when one would use the new Sport Protein in their daily routine. I exercise just about everyday (4 days swim, 3 days run, 2 days weight train after swim…
I just tried this as well - purchased several single-serve portions at Choices in Vancouver. I really love it!
I love the nutritional profile of the Whole Health Optimizer, but the taste is TERRIBLE. At least I can get my protein from Vega now with…

Yes Of course I am on this site :) I really enjoy some of the articles and it's such a great community of people! Still waiting for the product, but I imagine it will take a couple of days to get here. Thanks for sending it!

Lisa said… - Hey Derek! If you have a chance and have any helpful tidbits please respond to my forum question re: suitable footwear. Thought maybe you may have tried some of those brands/shoes. Also- I assume you might have some outdoorsy friends, maybe you may happen to know what some of them prefer?
Thanks appreciate it!! Later skater

- Thanks so much for the great feedback Derek! Really appreciate it.
Sometimes its not easy to guage each time how those sorts of things went over. As you can see I'm behind on my vega community page!
Time to leave a recipe to everyone to help make up for it, talk soon!
ps- so far the rest of the tour is going great!

Chelsie Hodge said… - haha I know! I was replacing coffee with sport for a while but I didn't want the extra sugar every morning. I will try the glutamine though thats a great idea! THANKS!

- Hey Derek! Yes, I use the soy version and its really the only soy product that I don't react to. I'm eating a lot of the same foods as before as my diet was pretty clean and I haven't had dairy in years. I saw a ND a couple weekends ago and we will probably do an allergy testing soon....hopefully that will help! I'm wondering if its the coffee...well i'm pretty sure the coffee can't help but its a tough habit to kick! haha

- Thanks Derek! Yes, soy does NOT agree with me at all. It seems though that I suffer from bloating from most foods I eat and there is rarely a day that goes by that my stomach doesn't hurt. I take lots of enzymes and Bio-K but nothing seems to help 100%. Do you have any other suggestions for me? I don't think its gluten because there are some days I feel fine and I know I've had bread or something that day. Any advice would be great :) Thanks!

Sorry that I mispelled your name when I commented that it was you who introduced me to Vega.
Hope all is well with you in Van.
