A healthy alternative to coffee to keep your energy up!

There are a ton of energy products on the market today that can boost energy, but often leave a hard crash and struggling the rest of the day.  

Honestly, if I could sleep in everyday, wake up without an alarm, have highly nutritious meals prepared for me throughout the day and my work day ended prior to picking my kids up from school, then I wouldn’t need ANY caffeine assistance.  

Unfortunately, that’s not the case for me and I guess it’s most likely the same for you! When I need energy to inspire and motivate other people, I need it NOW.

Over the past five years, I have been using Advocare as my clutch.  I don’t experience withdrawal nor am I dependent.

It’s particularly useful when I have failed to take ideal care of myself such as after a late evening of fun with friends and I need to teach kickboxing at 8 am on a Saturday morning… or if I was up all night with a sick child and I need to teach group at 5.30 am, (followed by getting the kids to school, working all day, picking the kids up, then working again in the evening till 8).  

These types of days can be rough, and at least 65% of the time I need help with more energy. Coffee just makes me tired - I love the taste, but I can’t depend on it for more that emotional support.  

Enter Spark!
