With the winter dragging out and my energy levels at an all-time low lately, I’ve been searching for something fast and easy to give me the boost I need to make it through the day. I’ve never been much of a breakfast eater. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE breakfast foods! Just not first thing in the morning. The problem is, most days I end up finding myself famished at noon and grabbing the closest thing that I can eat while writing. Usually, it’s also the worst thing in my cabinet!
Now that I’ve discovered and tried V8 Protein shakes and bars, though, I can grab something fast, easy, delicious AND packed with ingredients that will actually help get me past that mid-morning slump. Take a look at why I’m loving these awesome new V8 Protein products!
V8 Protein Shakes & Bars: Gets You Past Your Energy Slump
You already know that V8 is the “pro at blending the good stuff,” right? They’ve been coming out with innovative new ways to help you get in all your fruits and veggies for years. It makes sense, then, that they’d come out with an awesome way to get a bit more protein into your diet too. The V8 Protein line includes both shakes and bars. I’m partial to the shakes, mostly because they’re a cinch to grab and drink.
The shakes come in three delicious flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla and Chocolate Raspberry. Typically, I’m all about the Chocolate straight up when it comes to shakes, but wow, the Chocolate Raspberry is absolutely amazing! It’s like taking a bit of a delicious piece of candy, except a whole lot better for you! The shakes are filled ingredients that you already know and love, like quinoa, brown rice and sweet potatoes. They also include yummy ingredients such as honey and cocoa. Each shake packs a generous 12 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and a quarter cup of vegetables.
The bars also come in three flavors: Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Pomegranate, Oatmeal Raisin. My hands-down favorite is the Chocolate Peanut Butter. It’s smooth and tasty. You’ll find 10 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber and a quarter cup of vegetables in each bar!
Did you note the part about the vegetables in both the shakes and the bars? This is where I got a little scared. I’ll be honest with you, I’m worse than a kid. I only eat my vegetables if they’re concealed REALLY WELL! I was a little nervous about trying V8 Protein. I mean, if I KNOW there are vegetables in there, would I taste them? Would I not like the bars and shakes? Would I have nothing to say? Panic set in as I put the cup up to my lips and sampled the first taste of the bar.
Thankfully, I worried over nothing. I didn’t taste any vegetables at all. Maybe a teeny twinge of a sweet potato, but only because I was on super high alert. Now, I enjoy my V8 Protein Shake in the morning to help get my day started and a V8 Protein bar in the afternoon as a snack to get me past the 2pm slump. As a crazy picky eater, I have to say, if I love them, chances are you will too!

I love these protein bars. It is a great way to keep your calories down and energy up.
We eat protein bars like crazy in this house to our minimum protein. We love Quest, but also use Pure Protein. I would LOVE to try the V8 bars, because we are getting sick of the same flavors over and over again.
The Chocolate Raspberry sounds delish!
Chocolate raspberry sounds really good to me!
the shakes look delicious
Chocolate Raspberry, sounds good.
these look well lush
I’d love to try the Chocolate Raspberry shake.
Like a lot of them have mentioned above, I too never though V8 had protein drink. I would love the chocolate raspberry V8.
At first I thought it was weird to see V8 do a chocolate and vegetable protein drink. And then I remembered that its not much different than me making a chocolate protein smoothie and blending greens in it!
I’m excited to hear they have this line of products. I will be checking them out for sure. I love the protein boost!
Aww this looks like yummy and healthy. I would love to try this out!

I had no idea V8 made these. I will definitely be looking for them in the grocery store.
Wow I most definitely don’t eat the way I should or get the proper balance of everything especially with breastfeeding so this would be perfect for me! I am not a huge veggie eater so yeah, this is great!

I love the V8 fruit and veggie juice. I am sure this would taste so much better is not as good.. Love V8
That chocolate raspberry drink sounds almost addictive. What a great combination of flavors! Love the fact that they point out the amount of protein they have – my nutritionist says I need to eat more of that.
I am looking forward to the chocolate shake. Yum!
I am most excited about Chocolate Raspberry

I didn’t know they had V8 Protein Bars. I am going to have to show this to my Hubs. We love the v8 juice.
I have found these bars, but I can’t, for the life of me, find these shakes! I will keep looking!
This is such a convenient way to get the energy that you need on the go. I would definitely take these to work with me during the day.
