Review: #VegaBar

A few weeks ago, I was selected to be one of many luck #fitbloggers to review some Vega Bars by a company called Vega. Vega is a plant based, gluten free, non GMO product line that carries a variety of products ranging from protein bars to energy drinks that are all vegan friendly! 

I was on a fast a few months ago that restricted me from eating so many things that I turned vegan for a month. I sure wish I knew about this line then - it would have helped so much, especially when I was trying to work out and lacked the energy to do so because of my dietary restrictions.

On to my review...
I was sent SIX bars total, two Vega One Bars, two Vega Sport Protein Bars and two Vega Snack Bars. I must say, they were all pretty good and to think I wasn't a chocolate fan! My fav was the Vega Snack Bar in Cranberry Almond, now those I would definitely purchase again.  It reminded me of one of those ONE bars in Starbucks! *smiling*

Will these bars work for me?

Honestly, I try to stay away from bars; it's a personal thing. What I found is that when trying to lose weight, I personally have to watch the amount of sugar I consume in products. No matter where that sugar is coming from, fruit, juicing, etc. sugar is sugar and sugar turns into fat. Being that these bars are what I would call a meal replacement (snack) they served it's purpose but I'm greedy so I would eat more than one at a time - okay so I ate two! 

Would I purchase them? Probably not until AFTER I meet my goal weight and maintain it and at that point,  I would more than likely go with the snack bar option as those were my fav.  This bar is about 6 PointsPlus value per serving on Weight Watchers which is a lot of points for a snack when someone like me is only allotted roughly 28 points a day!

In  my honest opinion, what I like about the Vega line is the fact that it's a vegan based company. I don't have to think twice about it having a bunch of crap in it so that helps a lot. But remember this, just because it's vegan or even vegetarian doesn't mean it's totally healthy for you so I would suggest doing your own research, figure out what your goals are and see if these products align with your personal goals. Everyone should make their best judgement when figuring out what their plan will look like - as we all have different goals. 

Find what works for you and rock it out that way.
