After Angela and I helped host the #V8Protein Twitter party last week, I found myself very excited about spring which will be here before you know it. I’m looking forward to the warm sun and all of the outdoor activities. During these last few weeks of cold weather, there are so many projects I want to tackle and finish up so that I will have more time for outdoor fun with my family when the weather gets nice. Where does one find the energy to get it all done?
V8 Protein Bars and Shakes are a simple way to kick start your day!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Twitter party on February 25th. You shared so many great ideas, and I loved your enthusiasm for the new V8 Protein Bars and Shakes!

In addition to finishing up projects, during these last weeks of winter, I’ll be squeezing in some additional exercise to get ready for spring. Yoga and walking the dogs are two of my favorite workouts. It’s going to take a bit of work to get ready for swimsuit season! It was fun to learn, during the Twitter party, how many of you love exercising with your kids. It’s such a great example to set for our children!
It also came up that many of us favor the recovery snack, more than a good workout. Is that you too? My favorite recovery snack is a V8 Protein Shake. It helps me stay full and on track. I love that the shake it’s full of protein so it provides me the energy boost I need. I also like that it doesn’t have to stay in the refrigerator and can go right into my gym bag. What do you normally go for?
The V8 Protein bars and shakes give you satisfyingly delicious energy from ingredients you know. Here’s a delicious tidbit… V8 Protein bars contain as much fiber as one cup of kale. In fact, each bar or shake includes a quarter cup of vegetables, so you can have your protein and vegetables too.
V8 Protein Shakes blend dairy, soy, pea, brown rice and quinoa proteins with sweet honey and sugar. Shakes contain 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. They are available in delicious flavors like Chocolate Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry.
V8 Protein Bars blend soy protein, delicious nuts, oats and spices to give you satisfying delicious energy. They have a whopping 10 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, no high fructose corn syrup and a quarter cup of vegetables. It’s hard to pick a favorite between the yummy flavors of Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Pomegranate, and Oatmeal Raisin.
Good stuff goes in, good energy comes out. Sweetened with honey sugar and brown rice syrup. Protein to keep you powered. Blended perfectly.
V8 Protein bars and shakes are a simple way to kick start your day! I like to have a V8 Protein shake mid-morning, and a bar in the afternoon or anytime I need a boost. Learn more about V8 Protein bars and shakes . When do you like to have your V8 Protein?

As a vegan, I have to focus on getting my protein from sources other than meat. This may make a great addition
My husband has been wanting to add more protein to his diet. I need to tell him about these. They look like something he would really enjoy!
This is a great on-the-go drink to take to work in the morning. I usually skip breakfast since I’m rushing to work.
I have looked for these out in stores but have yet to find them. They would be perfect to send with my middle daughter before she had a soccer game.
Yum that chocolate raspberry looks like it would be delicious! These sound really great and like a great option!
Those protein shakes look really good. I really need to try them out. It would be a great way to start the day.
Always looking for a new protein alternative. I’ll have to try.
This looks yummy – I am saving the Amazon link for the bars especially – I never knew – and you had a party! So sorry I missed that – great info for me
Congratulations to all the winners and I have to say that I have to get me some of those bars. I don’t take vitamins and I need all the protein I can get.
I’ve been training for a half marathon and protien is essential to my diet, This would be a quick way to get it added in.
