Vejo: Pod-Based Blender for Smoothies & More


Well guys, we are back with a Friday Favorites post after a very long hiatus! (or should I say quarantine) 😜

Today I’m sharing something that’s very new, and I hadn’t heard of it until the team reached out to me. However, I was instantly intrigued and HAD to try it!


The company is called Vejo.

In super short summary, it’s a pod-based blender.

Think k-cups meet smoothies, and it all blends itself together in 30-seconds flat.

If you’re not a fan of smoothies, don’t worry. There are plenty of other pod options, too!

Here’s a graphic of what the blender looks like.

In this blender is where you place the pod, blend the drink, and then drink it!

All-in-one, portable, and wireless.


Here’s a quick video to show you how Vejo works.

It really is this easy!


So what kinds of things can Vejo make?

This list is not all inclusive, but some of the pods you can get include:

  • Fruit smoothies

    • Strawberry Banana, Tropical, Mixed Berry, Tart Berry

  • Green smoothies

    • Clean Greens, Piña Greens

  • Protein smoothies (plant-based)

    • Spiced Chocolate, Banana Almond

  • Cold brew coffee

  • Matcha latte

  • Pre-workout and Post-workout

  • Stress, immunity, & sleep blends


Here’s detailed info on a few of my favorite pods:


You can also use the smoothies to make things like chia seed pudding, overnight oats, and my favorite… popsicles!

Creation Nation - Protein and Energy Bar Mixes


Today’s Friday Favorite is a bit of a follow-up to my last post: Protein & Snack Bars

Today i’m sharing the freshest, most customizable, adaptable protein // snack bar of them all…


creation nation…

…made the world’s first protein bar mixes ever back in 2014. I first tried them about 1-2 years ago, and I’ve been obsessed ever since!

I also want to note that this post is NOT sponsored— it is my honest opinion!

A few of the reasons I love Creation Nation:


1.The mixes are delicious. End of story.

2. You control the level of sweetness.

  • The “recipe” on the mix has an option for “sweet”, “original”, or “sweet-less”. So, you decide how much sugar you want to put in. Here’s what the recipes look like:

 
 

3. They’re super customizable.

  • Not only can you control the sweetness level and what combination recipe you use (see above), but you can add extra goodies in if you really want to! Each mix has a “fun” recipe on the bag in addition to the original. Here’s an example:

 
 

4. The mixes are suitable for multiple diets.

  • There are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and soy-free options. Their flavor mixes (with the cutest names) include:

    • Vegan Energy Bite - Oat Yes! Chocolate Chip

    • Vegan Protein Bar - Peas Love & Cocoa

    • Vegan Protein Bar - PB & Jelly Get in My Belly

    • Keto Protein Bar - Whey Hip Chocolate Chip

    • Keto Paleo Energy Bite - Cocoa for Coconuts

5. They’re more eco-friendly with a reusable pouch and no individual wrappers.

6. they’re made with real ingredients, full of healthy fats, protein, and fiber!

  • Here’s a few of the packages to click through.

 
 

Here’s a comparison from Creation Nation’s website.

(I think they’re comparing to a bar that made my favorites list in the last post) 🤭

 
 

If you’re thinking that you don’t want to spend time making your own bars or bites, hold your horses for a hot second.

To make one pack (8 bars or 24 bites), it legitimately takes five minutes. That’s 37.5 seconds per bar. Plus, you make them all at once, and you’re set for a couple days! It’s a lot faster than making a smoothie or post-workout shake, that’s for sure.


If you ask me to pick a favorite mix… I can’t!

Try any of them and you won’t be disappointed.

Here’s a few shots of I’ve taken of these yummy mixes:
