Vega Performance Protein + Recovery is a plant-based protein powder formulated to assist muscle recovery after exercise, such as weight training or high-intensity interval training. Each serving provides 30 grams of protein from a blend of pea protein isolate, pumpkin seed protein concentrate, and organic sunflower seed protein concentrate, along with 12 grams of essential amino acids and 5 grams of branched-chain amino acids. It also includes 480 mg of CherryPure® Montmorency tart cherry and 2 billion CFU of the shelf-stable probiotic Bacillus subtilis DE111®, which the manufacturer notes can survive storage and digestion to support gut health.
This product is NSF Certified for Sport, meaning it has been independently tested for over 270 athletic banned substances and heavy metals, with ongoing facility audits for quality assurance. The manufacturer highlights that the pea protein is an isolate, while the pumpkin and sunflower seed proteins are concentrates. Available in Creamy Chocolate, it also comes in Vanilla, Mocha, Berry, and Peanut Butter flavors, with options for large or extra-large containers. The formula is vegan, gluten-free, Non-GMO Project verified, and sweetened with stevia leaf extract.
