Get Your Protein On with V8 Protein

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of V8 Protein. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am not a morning person. Ever. I drag myself out of bed every single morning and that’s only because I have to get my kids ready for school. I also am not ready to make a delicious home-cooked meal right off the bat. Give me at least 30-60 minutes and I am good to go. That’s why I love these V8 Protein Shakes and Bars. No joke.

V8 Protein blends ingredients you know, like quinoa, brown rice and sweet potatoes with delicious ingredients like honey and cocoa to deliver satisfying energy. I am familiar with meal replacement shakes and love them. I tried one brand from a health food store and it was nasty! It had the worst after taste. Not these from V8. I am 100% honest when I say that I love these. I tried the Chocolate, Vanilla and Chocolate Raspberry. Chocolate was my favorite, though I loved them all.

They are so creamy and delicious. V8 Protein Shakes blend dairy, soy, pea, brown rice and quinoa proteins with sweet honey and sugar. I love how convenient it is to grab one and drink on the go or just as you go about your morning. As a food blogger, I usually eat or drink my food while working at the computer. And these shakes have 12g of protein. 12! The shakes are typically eaten as breakfast or a morning snack, or mid-afternoon snack. The bars are typically used as a snack between breakfast and lunch or between lunch and dinner. You could also eat the bars after dinner as something sweet.

While I was photographing these bars, my little guy (23 months) kept trying to snatch one. Can you blame him?

I really loved the Oatmeal Raisin bar. It tastes like an oatmeal raisin cookie. The cinnamon comes out so well and they have 10g of protein. I love that!  Bars and shakes can be purchased online on Amazon or can be found at your local store’s health and beauty aisles  Buy now! Be sure to learn more about V8 Protein bars and shakes on their site where you can get a coupon.
