5-Hour Energy
When I went back to school 4 years ago, I knew I was in for a very challenging and tiring ride. I had two kids that were 2 and 4, a home and husband to also care for, a part time job and was going to school full time. My part time job was a graveyard shift in an ER and needless to say, I was tired all of the time. I don’t normally drink much caffeine or drink energy drinks, but sometimes I really needed that extra boost. When I did, I could drink half of a 5 hour energy and I was good to go! I never had the crash like I do with other caffeine either. Obviously I haven’t used 5 hour energy for quite some time as I was pregnant and am nursing right now, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t days that I couldn’t use it. My husband often uses them while driving to keep him alert and awake as well. It is available in a variety of flavors, including berry which is my favorite!
Features of 5-hour Energy:
- Quick, simple and effective
- Fast and easy to drink
- Zero sugar
- Zero herbal stimulants
- 4 calories
- B-vitamins and amino acids
- As much caffeine as a cup of the leading premium coffee
- Also available in a Decaf version
- Non carbonated
5-hour energy has a fun contest going on right now, the “Yummification” video contest. All you have to do is create a unique drink recipe using 5-hour energy, upload a 60 second video, and you could win a share of $100,000. That’s a LOT of cash! I created a recipe using 5-hour energy, a vanilla berry smoothie. I had a taste and it was really yummy. It will definitely be a go to once I’m done nursing.
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ripe banana
- ¼ cup ice cubes
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 berry flavored 5-hour energy
- Blend all together in blender
- Serve immediately
To enter the Yummification contest, visit 5HourYummification, like 5-hour energy on Facebook and submit your recipe and video. Recipes should only be mixed with the following beverages Decaffeinated soda or cola, Fruit juice, Vegetable Juice, Smoothie, Lemonade, Decaffeinated tea (hot or iced) or any form of water.
