You’d think that summer equals quiet time, more relaxing, and chilling…

but its not!

My days are still busy as ever and finding energy, especially to jump start my morning or midday isn’t always easy. It’s also not always easy to get some quick and easy protein in to make sure my metabolism is going all day.

You know that I love my coffee, but something about hot coffee on a hot day just doesn’t do it for me and I really don’t care for iced.

I was recently contacted by the makers of  5-hour ENERGY®Protein to create some unique tips to share with you, and I thought, this might be a great way to get that energy I’ve been needing and really see how I can fit this into my busy life.

Energy WITH protein… yes please!

I was actually just on my way to the gym and I decided to stop at a Walmart and found both Regular and Extra Strength 5-hour ENERGY®Protein. I started with the regular for my mid-afternoon workout.

The super convenient size made it easy to just throw in my purse and take right before my workout.

I went into the gym and crushed it! Usually it will take me a little bit to get going, especially that time of day, but I felt fantastic and even better after I was finished!

The next day I decided to skip the gym and just head out for a nice hike in the morning. Since I was just starting my day, I decided on Extra Strength.

My hike was amazing! I felt so solid, strong and clear. My dog Peanut started to fall behind ME which was a first! LOL

If you’re looking for that morning or midday pick me up and you’re trying to make sure you get enough protein, 5-hour ENERGY®Protein is such a perfect way to get more out of life!
