I am the mom who does it all. I work more than full time, work out, do the grocery shopping and carpooling, take care of the dog and the children. Somehow I find time to take care of myself and my family too. I love being busy and I prefer to have a lot going on. It sure makes me sleep well at night, and there is nothing I love more than sleep. It’s true. My mind and body could easily get ten hours of sleep a night but since that never happens, I have to drag myself out of bed each day. I truly love a cup of coffee and have to have my caffeine, but sometimes coffee is just not the right fit for me. Especially on a hot morning like today, the last thing I wanted was coffee sitting in my stomach, but a 5-hour ENERGY® shot totally hit the spot. Plus, it is a dietary supplement that contains a blend of B-vitamins, amino acids, and essential nutrients to keep me healthy.
I have 5-hour ENERGY® shots in my handbags so that I am always armed with my secret weapon against fatigue #ThisIsMySecret. I have two stashed in the car and more at my desk. The best way to support my love of 5-hour ENERGY® shots is to stock up like crazy when they are on sale! I found them at CVS Pharmacy for a great price so I went nuts and bought a bunch of them.
Usually I am not just slamming a bottle and done (although that works like a charm too). I like to sip up to half of my 5-hour ENERGY® shot while I am getting ready in the morning. I often have a 1/2 shot in the early afternoon to get me through the 3:00 slump and then the other half when evening hits to get me through the chaotic and fun family time, the dreaded bedtime hassle, and some “me” time in my cozy bed with a good book. I mix 5-hour ENERGY® shot with fruit juice and water in a tall glass with ice for a refreshing and energizing beverage. It is non alcoholic, does not contain herbal stimulants and contains caffeine comparable to a cup of the leading premium coffee. And only 4 calories!
Today, for example, I was supposed to take my husband to work so that I could take my son out to practice driving on a stick shift, but I refused to leave the bed earlier than my alarm going off. When I did get up, I decided on a pomegranate 5 hour energy shot to start my morning routine. (Have I mentioned that I do NOT like mornings!)
I worked, carpooled, ate and took out the dog a few times. I had a grape shot later in the day (my favorite flavor) finished work and had enough happy energy to keep up with my son for some really fun quality time in the evening. We went to the park, made crafty paper boats to race in a nearby pond and shot some hoops in the front yard too.
If you are a mom who tries to do it all like I am and you need a healthy boost to keep your activity level up where it needs to be, I think that you will love 5-hour ENERGY® shots as much as I do. Coffee is great but, it is really convenient to have your favorite fruit flavored shot of energy right when you need it. You are going to love the fruit taste, no sugar crash vitamin boost of 5-hour ENERGY®shot that get you moving and keeps you going all day. Also, perfect for mornings that you work out and only 4 calories! Go to CVS and grab yourself some today!

I’ll have coffee in the morning, but about mid-day is when I like to take a 5-hour energy. Grape is my fave too!
Linda Szymoniak
It seems no matter what time I actually get to bed, my dogs wake me up only a few hours later to go out. Once they’re awake and have me up, there’s no way I’m getting them to go back to bed. So, I have been starting my days out without quite enough sleep for some time and I have used 5 Hour Energy to get me going.

It is like you have infants at home Linda! That is hard to never get enough sleep 🙁 Thank goodness for 5-hour ENERGY!
jtemcio
I agree with you Tonya. Some days you just gotta have coffee!! 🙂 In the warm summer mornings though I am loving tall glass of grapefruit juice and 5-hour ENERGE over ice 🙂
Leigh Anne Borders
I do not drink coffee but do drink soda. That is what I do to wake up. Although i am wanting to stop the soda due to all the sugar!
jtemcio
That gives me a really good idea Leigh Anne! I could add the 5-Hour ENERGY shot to some ice and lemon lime soda for a cool pick-me-up. Thank you!!

This works really good for that extra perk up.. I have had to take this a few times..
Robin (Masshole Mommy)
My hubby is an accountant and 5 hour energy is what gets him through tax season 🙂
Paula Parker
I can’t have any caffeine after 2:00 or else I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I am too wimpy, but I am glad you found a product you liked.

I’ve never tried the 5 hour energy drinks, looks like they work.

5 Hour Energy really helped me during my final semester of college! I was able to stay up at night and cram for finals!

I thought they were dangerous so I’ve never tried them. I’m glad they aren’t loaded with sugar and artificial sweeteners! Glad you have had a good experience with them.
Stace Werner
My husband drinks these all of the time. He uses them to keep going while working in the yard.
Melanie
I’ve never used them before, but my husband has and really likes them.
Mary
My husband lives on these for long drives. But I have never thought if including it in my morning beverage. Lately I could use this.
janelle
the only thing i know about these is from what I’ve seen on tv. glad you had a good experience!
Sandra - The Foodie Affair
So many flavors to choose from! I bet these are super popular with college kids too!
Mistee Dawn
I could use one right about now. I’m about to craxh and burn but I have so much work to do.
Felicia
I cannot drink 5 hour energy because they make me really shaky. But I am glad that they work for you!
Stephen
Love them!
Rosey
I haven’t ever tried it, but I’d use it to stay awake a bit longer than I do. Most days I’m out like it’s still the school year. 🙂
Payal Bansal (@TrendsnHealth)
That is so so so needed. Aah! Finally something that won’t give calories but will give energy to keep on going 🙂
Debra
I have never used five hour energy, but man I need something like this in my life!

I love your yawning picture and it’s contagious that I am yawning now too. I have to have a cup of coffee a day. I saw this energy drink at the store but never tried. Looks like a healthy energy drink.
