As busy girls on the go, we're always looking for new energy boosters. During the long mid-afternoon hours, we're often reaching for a little pick-me-up. We turned to our It Girls to see what powers them through the day... from caffeine to nutritious snacks, there are lots of options to choose from!
Both Serena & Marisa enjoy our energy boosting staple: iced coffee! We totally agree, plus iced coffee is a yummy treat on a hot summer day. Serena adds, "I usually mix it with a half cup to a cup of almond milk. It's only 40 calories, and I love the subtle nutty flavor!" Another easy caffeine boost is the ever popular, tried & true Red Bull, as seen in Alyx's pick.
For a natural boost without caffeine, Rachel loves the Suja juice cleanse. "It gives me the energy I need, tastes great, and nourishes the body," she says. Organic cold pressed juices such as Suja can be a great source of vitamins & nutrients as well.
As for Victoria, she goes back to basics for a jump start! "I'm going back to what I've used since middle school to give me energy: apples & almonds," she says. "Whether I didn't have time for breakfast in the morning, was out playing golf, or just needed a pick me up, I always carried these two in my car," adds Victoria. Another recent discovery of hers is Shot Bloks by CLIF. Victoria tells us that, "Shot Bloks restore the sugar and sodium levels in your body to give you energy. Needless to say, I now keep an apple, almonds, and Shot Bloks in my purse wherever I go!"
