Energy Bites - Review and Giveaway

As a childcare provider and blogger, I am working from 7am to 11pm pretty much every day. My eight preschoolers depend on me all day long to provide everything they need and want, right when they need and want it. In between all that, I'm trying to teach them, entertain them, and keep them from killing each other and themselves. At the end of the daycare day, instead of relaxing, I'm blogging every night until I fall asleep on my keyboard. I suspect most parents (well, most adults, really) feel the same kind of exhaustion at the end of the day. Staying sharp is important, so I'm excited to tell you about Energy Bites!
These amazing little creations from Outburst are delicious and give me the boost I need when I start feeling run down. Three amazing flavors of Chocolate, Chocolate Mint (my personal favorite), and Chocolate Peanut provide me caffeine, taurine, and eight vitamins including B6 and B12. A serving size of just four of them is equal to a cup of coffee and each bite is less than 12 calories (that fits into my weight loss plan). Honestly, they taste like candy, but I'm keeping them out of reach of the kids -- they certainly do NOT need more energy! The box is even designed with a snap-tight lid so you can toss a box into your purse, gym bag, or backpack and take it with you. It's also a great deal because each box retails for about $2.00 for three servings; but one energy shot drink costs about $2.00 for just the one serving. Most importantly, Energy Bites give me a delicious energy boost when I need it (and believe me I need it)!

Disclosure: I received these products at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
