I have really enjoyed doing Crossfit this summer. I have averaged going about three times a week and I just feel so good when I go consistently. I feel stronger. I feel more powerful. I have more energy. I feel like I am more productive at other things when I get a good workout in!
Something just as good as your workout is your recovery. That is why I was super excited to try out these Vega Protein Bars as part of their Fuel Your Better campaign and SweatPink:
I first heard about these at FitBloggin‘ when some people were raving about how good they were! As soon as I got them, I tore into them to try them and see what they were like. I got the chocolate peanut butter flavor but they also have two other flavors. I can describe the chocolate peanut butter in one word…
Decadent
That is the best word I can use to describe these bars. They are so good! They DO NOT taste like a traditional protein bar. The chocolate is creamy and there are real peanuts in them. They are so good I have to keep myself from eating these when I have not just finished a workout!
So, you know the best part, how they taste. Now, let’s talk about these bars in general.
- Each bar contains 15 grams of complete, plant-based protein – Complete, multisource plant-based protein from whole grain brown rice and pea protein give your muscles the protein they need!
- 2 grams Glutamine – Glutamine is an amino acid that not only helps to rebuild muscle tissue, but also helps to support your immune system after periods of physical stress (Like working out!).
- 2.5 grams BCAA’s – Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) help to transition your muscles from a catabolic (breaking muscle down during exercise) to anabolic (rebuilding) stage!
- 1 gram of Omega Threes
- Non-GMO
- Gluten-Free
- No artificial Colors, Sweeteners, or Flavors
- Come in three flavors: Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Coconut, and Chocolate Mint.
Can you see how this would help you after a workout?!? It basically helps me recover faster so I can continue to “fuel my better” and workout again sooner rather than later!
Oh…and did I mention these are delicious?!?
So, the next time you are looking for a way to refuel after a hard workout, try these! They are so yummy!
