Many of you may be familiar with Vega, I did a product review on their Vega One All-In-One Nutritional Shake several weeks ago.  They are a company founded and built on plant-based nutrition.

Vega has also created a program called Thrive Forward.  It is a FREE online program designed by Vega and former Ironman Brendan Brazier.  It’s goal is to help people live a better and healthier life through plant-based nutrition.

On September 10,  Vega will be launching their newest additional to the Thrive Forward program to help people learn to cook and make healthy plant-based meals at home.  Thrive Kitchen will feature five video lessons that will features many guest chefs as they help to teach you how to incorporate easy and simple plant-based meals into your diet.

Vega has allowed me to have a sneak peak at some of these amazing recipes, and to share a great green drink recipe with you today!
