Ideal "on the go" snack - Upbeat Protein Drinks*

I was recently offered the chance to try out Upbeat Protein Drinks and thought they looked really good. I'd seen them around as I noticed the vibrant packaging but never thought to pick one up.

With 20g of protein packed into each drink there is certainly enough to give you an energy boost or bring you up from a 3pm slump at work. Each drink is less than 150 calories and made fresh from British Milk. It's a healthy way to get you through the day and keep you feeling 'Upbeat'!

Upbeat Protein drinks come in four different flavours. Mango and passion fruit, Chocolate Orange, Strawberry and Blueberry and Raspberry. The drinks are made with real fruit and have no more than 150 calories, which is brilliant I think for a protein drink. I managed to get hold of the Chocolate Orange and Strawberry flavours in my local Tesco, the others were sold out (probably because they're so good!). To find out where your nearest stockist is, you can check the Upbeat website.

I really love the packaging - It's simple, but fun. Everything you need to know is on the front, and it is clear to understand. The chocolate orange flavour was heavenly. I couldn't believe how nice it tasted for a protein drink. You can tell that this is made with real chocolate as it was so creamy and rich with a lovely tangy orange aftertaste. I will definitely be going to the gym more often if it means earning one of these afterwards!

The strawberry flavour was equally as nice, and I honestly felt energised after drinking it. These are IDEAL if you're in a rush and haven't had time for breakfast, or don't get a chance to eat a full lunch. Upbeat drinks really close that gap giving you that extra willpower you need to continue your day.

The consistency of these drinks is in-between regular milk and a yoghurt. The Upbeat drinks are smooth and easy to drink. 

The best part is you don't even need to be an avid gym go-er to justify drinking one of these. They're the perfect addition to your lunchbox and great when you need that little boost. Upbeat drinks are a great source of calcium and suitable for vegetarians. I am happy to replace my afternoon chocolate and biscuits for one of these drinks and will be even happier knowing it will be guilt free!
