We are in the thick of holiday season and I feel like I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off from sun up to sun down. When I stay on top of everything {i.e. laundry, dishes, dinner, etc} we all seem to have a better day around here! Take this morning for example: My alarm went off and I immediately hit the snooze button. Fifteen minutes later I’m trying to wake up my toddler, change and feed my infant, find my son’s school clothes, make him breakfast and get out the door in 20 minutes. My poor toddler was stressed, my baby was crying and I was asking my toddler to hurry in a not so sweet voice. It wasn’t very successful! I know life is so much better when I get everything ready the night before, but I was up late addressing Christmas cards and couldn’t keep my eyes open one more minute.

No matter how busy I am our day always goes so much smoother when I go to the gym. My son loves the children’s play area and I enjoy getting those two hours of me time working up a sweat. One of my absolute favorite parts of working out is definitely the recovery drink! As in the protein shake.

V8 Protein Bars and Shakes have become a reward for getting myself in the gym and getting a good work out in because I tell myself I can’t have one unless I workout. When I keep on a consistent schedule of going to the gym, I begin to crave them. They have become the little indulgence I need everyday. You of course don’t have to exercise in order to eat one of these V8 bars or protein shakes, I just use them as a little extra motivation is all!

They are extremely convenient! Gone are the days of me rushing home to make and drink my protein shake within an hour of working out. Now I can keep it in my bag or the car and run off and do errands after my workout. They save me so much time!

These bars are full of healthy, good-for-you ingredients! I enjoy eating a kale salad every now and then but it’s a lot easier getting the fiber I need from one bar, instead of eating two cups of Kale. They are also a good source of protein and contain a quarter cup of vegetables. That’s impressive! One of my favorite facts about these powerhouse bars is definitely that they don’t have high fructose corn syrup in them.

Go find these awesome, convenient, tasty bars and shakes in the health and beauty aisle {near the Pharmacy} at your local Walmart.

You need to try these new V8 Protein Bars and Shakes. See for yourself how easily they can fit into your busy life. Start getting healthier today, and stop going to that one fast food restaurant on the corner!
