Vega Sport Introduces Sugar-Free Energizer

BURNABY, British Columbia, June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- You don't need to be a serious athlete to need a serious energy boost.  That's why Vega's formulator and visionary, Brendan Brazier, has developed Vega Sport Sugar-Free Energizer.  Vega Sport Sugar-Free Energizer provides an instant energy boost along with enhanced mental clarity that is low on calories and carbohydrates.

"We created the new Sugar-Free Energizer as a five calorie version of the original for those who don't need sustained fuel for their workout but would still benefit from a boost in energy and mental clarity," said Brendan Brazier, former professional Ironman triathlete and bestselling author on plant-based nutrition.

Made with the natural sweetness of stevia, Vega Sport Sugar-Free Energizer is packed with 10 plant-based performance-enhancing ingredients like green tea, yerba mate, coconut oil and rhodiola, and ginseng that work together to support exercise performance and mental focus without the jitters often associated with coffee.  Vega Sport Sugar Free Energizer is perfect for yoga, barre fitness, Pilates or HIIT training sessions generally less than 60 minutes in duration.

Peggy Kotsopoulos, Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Culinary Consultant who was featured in Thrive Forward with Brendan Brazier adds, "I'm so excited about the new Sugar-Free Energizer. Not only are the packets so convenient to carry around with me at all times, but the fact that it has no sugar means I can use it anytime I need an energy boost – like after-work yoga or an event – without having to worry about burning it off!"

Vega Sport Sugar-Free Energizer will be available at health food stores across North America starting June 25. It comes in a 4.8 oz (40 serving) tub as well as 0.12 oz single-serving packs in both Lemon Lime and Acai Berry flavors.  For more information, visit www.vegasport.com.
