Do you feel like this most days?  Looking for something to clear the cobwebs out of your head and give you energy WITHOUT jitters?

This is me most days….
I have Fibromyalgia so my energy and focus levels are always really low.  Ok, who am I kidding, I don’t iron, I re-spin the clothes in the dryer to get the wrinkles out but that is irrelevant to this post.  LOL
So back to my lack of energy and focus.  My doctor has me on several prescription medications to help with energy and focus.  I don’t like having to take so many prescriptions but without them I feel like I am in a total fog all the time.   I can hardly function some days without them which is hard because I am the mommy to 2 active little girls who need me.

“It was love at first Spark!” –Moms everywhere

I was recently introduced to Advocare Spark.   Advocare Spark is a sugar-free, long lasting energy drink that not only provides fast acting energy, but also helps with mental focus and clarity.  What I like best about Advocare Spark is that unlike other energy drinks, coffee, etc., it is food for your brain.  It has 21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients designed to provide a healthy, balanced source of energy and only has 45 calories.  It’s synergistic ingredients give a quick boost without the mid-afternoon crash.

Advocare Spark is perfect for tired moms!  You know who you are!  I’m talking to you!
Is this you?
Someone who has trouble waking up or feels “energy slumps” throughout the day
Someone who can’t work up enough energy to live life the way you want
Someone who is looking for a more nutritious alternative to coffee, soda or other energy drinks

I have been able to cut back on my prescription medication now that I started drinking Advocare Spark.  As soon as I wake up in the morning, I mix 1 packet of Advocare Spark with 8 ounces of water in my shaker bottle, shake well, and pour over ice.  I make sure it is well mixed so the powder fully dissolves and I like it nice and cold.  I drink it first thing in the morning and then I usually have a second glass mid-afternoon when I am starting to feel that mid-afternoon slump.  Within minutes I am perked back up.  I can focus again and I have the energy to get through my day.
I tried the Mango Strawberry and Pink Lemonade and enjoyed both.  Advocare Spark is also available in Watermelon, Mandarin Orange, Fruit Punch, Grape, Citrus and Cherry.  It can be purchased in a box of 14 individual pouches or in a canister that has 42 servings.  If you are looking for something to help get you through the day, that costs less than a fancy cup of coffee at your local coffee shop, and also contains good for you vitamins and minerals, try Advocare Spark and let me know how it works for you.
