I Love My Spark!

Today I'm doing a product review for "Try Me" Thursday!

I absolutely LOVE Spark. Before Spark, I was obsessed with Crystal Light Wild Strawberry Energy for about 2 years. It has a little caffeine in it, so I loved it. I've completely given up drinking Crystal Light & switched over to Spark. It's that good.

The difference between Spark & other energy drinks is that Spark provides so much energy and focus. NOTEWORTHY: I drank this the morning before I passed my Registered Dietitian Exam.... okay? I needed some focus. It's low-cal {45 cals a packet or scoop} and it doesn't make me shaky like other energy drinks. Also, it's so much better for you than cokes/sodas {none of the crazy additives}.  It's got a little caffeine boost, TONS of B vitamins & never leaves me feeling groggy.  I've even had friends tell me it curbs their appetite.  If you try nothing else from AdvoCare, try Spark!

My favorite flavor is Mango Strawberry. Fruit Punch is shown, but there are several other flavors: Cherry, Grape, Citrus, Pink Lemonade, Mandarin Orange, and Watermelon.  New flavors are added frequently. I can't rave enough about Spark. I've seen recipes for using it to flavor pies & I'm so excited that I will probably make a Mango Strawberry Spark flavored pie. So, watch out for Spark flavored foods in the future!

What's your favorite flavor?

Motivation Monday

It's Motivation Monday and I want to share with you one of my favorite quotes. "A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor." So true! Tough times will mold our character and make us stronger.  This goes for our fitness, nutrition, or weight loss goals too! When they seem out of reach, we overcome the obstacles & build character! 

My goal is to build muscle and tone up through running, yoga, and a little weight lifting.  Since life got busy (doesn't it for everyone?), I haven't been doing anything fitness-related. Running is one of my passions & I know when I begin, it will be easier for me to make excuses.... But a smooth sea never made a skillful sailor, right?

What are you health/nutrition goals? Are there areas you're struggling? 

Good luck!!
