I have been trying to eat healthily for a few months now in the hope that I can shift a few pounds, ready for being a bridesmaid in October. I am doing really well and most of the time I don’t get tempted by treats, but occasionally I do get a bit peckish through the day.
I recently went along to a fantastic event in London and came across a fab drink that is less than 150 calories but fills that hole! Upbeat is a dairy drink and tastes a little like yoghurt, it is high in protein which is great for releasing energy slowly throughout the day.
Protein contributes to the maintenance of healthy muscles and bones, keeps skin and hair looking healthy and supports the immune system. I was a vegetarian for 10 years and didn’t have enough protein in my diet and it really showed in my skin, nails and hair. I could have done with these drinks back then!
I have been drinking one a day for the last week and I haven’t felt hungry at all. It has only been a short time so I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my skin etc.. although I am going to be taking part in an Upbeat Challenge later on in the year so I will be able to tell you more then!
I have noticed a difference in terms of energy though, you don’t realise the slump your body goes into when you don’t eat regularly through the day. Having Upbeat at around 3pm helps get me through until dinner time and helps keep my energy levels high. This is especially important for me as a blogger, with my working hours being late into the evening. I will definitely be adding them to my shopping order again next week!
What helps you get through the day?
I was given some vouchers to buy these drinks but all thoughts and words are my own.
