This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of V8 Protein for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
This college quarter has involved lots of early mornings, rushing to class, and eating meals on the go. I swear, getting out of the house by 7:45 each morning to either get to my lecture or head out for a run involves some serious fast moving. While I’m usually on time, I do struggle immensely with eating a balanced breakfast and often find my stomach grumbling midway through my class or feeling the low blood sugar on my runs. That’s why, when V8 asked me to sample their new line of protein bars and shakes, I was beyond excited! The new V8 protein products blend ingredients such as quinoa, brown rice, and sweet potatoes with tasty ingredients like honey and cocoa to give you a great burst of energy that is not only nutritious, but absolutely delicious.
After excitedly opening the package that had come in the mail, I immediately tried the enticing chocolate shake and was thrilled on how smooth and sweet it was. My favorite, however, turns out to be the vanilla shake, which is a big shocker because I am usually such the chocolate girl at heart! I’ve been sampling the variety of bars I was sent (ranging from chocolate peanut butter, chocolate pomegranate, oatmeal raisin, etc) and love how filling and perfectly sweet they are! Of those, I’d be hard pressed to find one that I could call my ultimate favorite!
And in case you’re wondering about the nutrition behind these shakes and bars, have no fear! Like usual, V8 does a great job in balancing deliciousness with protein, fiber, and hidden veggies.
- Shakes: 12 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, quarter cup of vegetables, no high fructose corn syrup and as much calcium and Vitamin D as a glass of milk
- Bars: 10 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, no high fructose corn syrup an a quarter cup of vegetables in each bar

V8 chocolate driiiiiiiiink!! Looks delish. I’m so used to typical tomato juice this looks an awesome game changer!
I’d love to give one of those shakes a try! I have a lot of trouble with the “on the go” snacking and meal category.
Fingers crossed
