How about Vega Plant Protein Powder brand introduction

推荐产品:VEGA ONE® ALL-IN-ONE SHAKE、VEGA SPORT® PERFORMANCE PROTEIN、VEGA® PROTEIN SMOOTHIE
 
Vega is a well-known vegan nutrition brand in Canada, with sales of nearly 100 million US dollars in 2014. In 2015, it was acquired by WhiteWave Foods, a subsidiary of Danone, for $550 million.
 
Vega's plant-based protein powders are VEGA ONE® ALL-IN-ONE SHAKE, VEGA SPORT® PERFORMANCE PROTEIN and VEGA® PROTEIN SMOOTHIE, with no artificial flavors, sweeteners or preservatives, and are gluten-free, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivity. In addition, all three products contain probiotics and proteases to aid in the digestion and absorption of protein powder.
 
VEGA ONE® ALL-IN-ONE SHAKE is currently Vega's only USDA-certified organic protein powder and the best-selling product. Rich in vitamins and trace elements, this product is one of the most diverse and balanced protein powders in Vega. Of course, VEGA ONE® is not high in protein with rich fruits and vegetables, and its protein is composed of pea protein and a small amount of sunflower seed and pumpkin seed protein, accounting for about 48%.
 
After changing the recipe, VEGA ONE tasted® much worse than before, so its rating in the United States and Asia dropped significantly. In addition, VEGA ONE® is currently high in fat and contains 1g of saturated fat per serving. This product is sold at iherb for 230 yuan and 375g, which is much higher than the price of similar products in Garden of Life and Orgain, and the cost performance is too low.
 
Compared to VEGA ONE®, the other two protein powders are more cost-effective. VEGA SPORT® PERFORMANCE PROTEIN is a sports protein powder developed for vegetarians that is certified banned by Informed-Choice for use in sports activities. VEGA SPORT® contains about 68% protein and 6g of BCAAs per serving, and its protein composition is similar to that of VEGA ONE®, with pea protein as the main protein and alfalfa protein added. Because the raw materials are not completely organic, the price of VEGA SPORT® is also lower than that of VEGA ONE®, about 330 yuan for 837g. In addition, in The Wire Cutter's taste evaluation of plant-based protein powders, this one has the best taste and delicate texture, which is more popular with vegans.
 
THE VEGA® PROTEIN SMOOTHIE PACKAGING LOOKS LIKE A SNACK, BUT IN TERMS OF NUMERICAL INDICATORS, THIS PRODUCT IS MORE PURE THAN THE ABOVE TWO. It has a protein content of about 58%, the lowest carbohydrate and fat content of the three, and is sugar-free, with only 0.5g of fat per serving, which is also outstanding among plant-based protein powders. In addition to pea protein and high-quality plant seed proteins such as sacha inchi and hemp seeds, VEGA® PROTEIN SMOOTHIE also contains a small amount of green vegetable blend. Correspondingly, the price of this protein powder is also slightly higher, 260g is about 120 yuan.
