You Asked: Can Kids Have Vega?
Each month, our “You Asked” column reviews popular questions from you. This time around, you asked: “Can kids have Vega?”
Our answer: yes, absolutely! The nutritional content of Vega is great for everyone. As with any food, kids just need a smaller quantity. We recommend starting with about a ¼ serving (or ½ a scoop) of Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer per 6 oz. shake.
Charles, Sequel’s president, has three little ones who gulp down Vega daily. (And have been drinking it since they were one!) Their family-favorite smoothie recipe includes chocolate Vega, banana, frozen blueberries, almond butter and hemp milk. Blend and serve. Easy breakfast when getting kids out the door in the morning and you know their starting the day off with excellent nutrition.
My tip: get your kids involved in their food choices early. My son is happiest when he picks (with gentle suggestions from mom) what goes in his smoothie. Then he presses the buttons on the blender, gets his own cup and straw, and feels like he made his own breakfast. A big deal when you’re three!

ICE CREAM! What a great idea, Sara. My son would love to have ice cream, it's one of his favorite things, but hemp or coconut ice cream is pricey and never lasts long. I'll try this with some rice or almond milk and see how it works out.

My niece (3) & nephew (9) drink Smoothie Infusion with added fresh fruit for breakfast. Sometimes my sister blends blueberries & Smoothie Infusion, puts it in the freezer and her kids think they are having ice cream for breakfast.
Her son plays hockey and sometimes his practices start right after school. So she gieves him a shake & a vibrance bar. My nephew is excited to try the new Sport drink. While all the other players are drinking Gatorade (which he chooses not to drink) he will be so excited knowing he can finally drink a healthy Sport Drink. Even though he is nine he understands that what you put in your body is important especially when you play a lot of hockey.
