User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried the Proteins & Greens vs the regular Protein Smoothie in Chocolate? Curious if the higher protein variation tastes/mixes differently
Answer:	I have used both, but Vanilla, not Chocolate. They both mix very well. I actually use it alone, but also in a multi green smoothie I make. I have found it extremely digestible without the rumbling and gas from whey products. Highly recommend them all! Great company!
Question:	Looking for a lower sodium product, anything around 40 mg
Answer:	Vega protein & greens has 270 mg of sodium
Question:	Hello. I did not like the gritty taste. May I return the open canister
Answer:	Probably
Question:	It says "non dairy" yet some of the labeling in the photos says "dairy" - and no, not "manufactured in
Answer:	We do not use dairy as an ingredient in our nutritional shake formulations, and in fact all of our products are certified vegan through Vegan Action. However not all our products are produced in an exclusive dairy-free facility. Safety is paramount to us at Vega, therefore all our facilities are 3rd party audited and follow GMP (Good Manufacturing Procedure) practices to ensure all allergen ingredients are stored away from non-allergen ingredients, and strict sanitation procedures are followed, to ensure risk for cross-contamination is minimized. Speak to your health care practitioner if you have a known food allergy. Hope that helps!

Mom’s Okra and Onion Stir-Fry (Pyaaz Waali Bhindi)

Either you like okra or you hate it. This recipe might help you like it. Okra is cooked with onions until crisp and no hint of slime remains. This is another one of Mom’s simple recipes. She cooks the okra, spiced with just cayenne and turmeric, on low heat for an hour so it is perfectly crisped. Serve this easy and delicious stir-fry with any of the spicy dals or spicy curries. (Shown in thali photo, page 19, at top right.)

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green chile and cook for 2 minutes. Add the onion and cook until translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
2. Add the okra and turmeric, mix well, and cook uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring twice while cooking.
3. Once the okra is cooked to your preference, add salt and cayenne. Mix well and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Serve hot.

Variations:

• Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds or fennel seeds with the green chile at Step 1.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon dry mango powder or 1/4 teaspoon Indian black salt at the end and mix well.

Question:	Where is the ingredient list, for pete's sake? I have looked at all the photos and I don't see it. Why aren't you forthright in providing that
Answer:	I think 190, but that matters a whole lot less than what they are packed with- 10 grams of fiber, superfoods, not garbage like most other bars
Question:	Why don’t you list for he ingredients

User questions & answers

Question:	how are these certified vegan when they were made in a facility that processes non vegan foods
Answer:	Two different kinds. One crunchy, 10 grams and the other not as crunchy
Question:	Are you still making the snack bar in chocolate peanut butter
Answer:	Hi There, Thank you for reaching out. There are 12 bars in that box and the 10 and 20 grams are referring to the amount of protein grams in each bar since we do have protein bars with 10 grams and also other bars with 20 grams of protein. If you have any further questions and/or comments, feel free to shoot us some more details to [email protected] and we'd be happy to chat further. Thanks, The Vega Team.
Question:	Why does the picture say 12 bars but when you go to the item, you select 10 or 20 grams
Answer:	Well... generally on any endurance activity you want to keep things ‘light’ in your stomach. These bars are really more of a small ‘meal’ at 300 calories, 20g protein, some fiber, some carbs,etc. I tend to eat one right after a good weight-lifting session. For your distance runs, i’d go with something more ‘snacksize’ at 100 or 120 calories and skewed to high carbs (instant energy) and low in fiber (!) and also protein as both of those are likely to slow you down a bit.
Question:	Why does the picture say 12 bars but when you go to the item, you select 10 or 20 grams
Answer:	Hi There, Vega® Bars are very comparable in sugar to other plant-based protein bars, with 11-18 grams of sugar per bar. Vega® Bars are made with real, plant-based food ingredients. The sweeteners in our bars do not just taste delicious but are also required for functional purposes to: Bind the bar together Maintain its structure Keep it deliciously moist. The sweeteners we choose include organic agave syrup, organic cane sugar, and tapioca syrup. We believe carbs, which include sugar, have a function and purpose in a balanced diet, providing energy for active lifestyles, especially when paired with a protein. The Vega Team

User questions & answers

Question:	Why doesn’t the price per box and price per bar times number of bars match up
Answer:	Don’t know the answer
Question:	Do you have a bar with no added sugar? Also, I thought we weren't supposed to buy palm oil products as it's causing deforestation in Indonesia
Answer:	Hi there, Thank you so much for reaching out to us to express your concerns. We love to hear when consumers are passionate about sustainability. Vega sources Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certified sustainable palm kernel oil in our nutrition and protein bars, including your favorite Vega® Protein Snack Bar, as a stabilizing ingredient. RSPO is an organization committed to ensuring sustainable harvesting practices, and is the most sustainable source we can currently find. Palm kernel oil in the Vega bars is a stabilizer and helps with the texture. In pursuit of constant improvement, we’re working on identifying other ingredients that could replace palm kernel oil and we’ll let you know if we discover the next it ingredient. You can learn more about the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) here: http://www.rspo.org/about/sustainable-palm-oil All of the bars do have added sugars (mostly in the chocolate).
