I needed a boost of energy today and decided to try this little “shot” type drink called Refuel by CytoSport. It is labeled to have 5g of protein and 100mg of caffeine in it while only having 35 calories. Since I rarely ever drink anything with caffeine I decided to give this a “shot”, literally.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a sample pack of PureFit Nutrition Bars this past week.
