Disclosure: I was provided with samples of Vega Sport Sugar-Gree Energizer in exchange for my honest opinions about the products. All opinions are my own.

A little over a month ago, I was getting ready for our long vacation to Australia. Around the same time, my favorite sports nutrition company launched a new product. That means I had to wait a little longer than I wanted to try it, but so far I think it was worth the wait!
Why a new energizer?
For me, I am trying to limit the amount of sugar in my diet (focusing on eating clean), so I was excited from the moment it was announced. Others may wonder why they created a new sugar-free version. And only 5 calories!!
In Vega’s own words, here’s why they created it:
· Provide a natural Vega Energizer that is low in calories
· Intended for medium intensity or 60 minute duration workouts where additional calories or carbohydrates are
not required.
· Perfect fit for yoga, barre fitness, Pilates, or HIIT (high intensity interval training) which is typically less than 60
minutes in duration.
· Healthier alternative to coffee. Many of our consumers use Vega Energizer instead of coffee, during their day.
The sugar-free now gives them a closer option, relative to the calorie consumption.
I’ve been using this before my interval runs as part of LiveFit Trainer and it really seems to make a difference! I feel like I have more energy from the beginning, instead of taking a bit of time to get into the groove.
And check out these ingredients. This is the kind of natural, plant-based nutrition that I love (and expect) from Vega:
Instead of strange sugar-free sweeteners, this is made with easy-to-digest Stevia. I’ve become a huge fan of stevia over the past few months, so I was happy to see that this is what they chose to balance the flavors.
Not surprising, my favorite flavor is Acai Berry. I’m just not a big fan of Lemon Lime (reminds me too much of the drinks you get on most race courses). The berry flavors are almost always my favorite with any sports nutrition.
