Do you drink those tiny bottles of energy drinks? I’ve tried a couple of them in the past and hated them. I always reverted to my old friend caffeine for a pick-me-up. But now I’ve got beautiful/smart/brave/funny Alex and she has not reacted well when I’ve had caffeine so I cut it out.
I recently had the opportunity to try the Healthy Energy Liquid Vitamin B12 complex from 1st Step Pro Wellness and I was pretty impressed. I tried each flavor, cherry and tropical. Both tasted great, but I liked the cherry a little more. It contains tart cherry juice, which is one of those things that I REALLY like. I liked that they didn’t give me any kind of weird jittery rush, just a nice boost in energy and focus. Plus they’re caffeine-free, have no artificial flavorings or added sugar. The ingredient list is easy to read and understand, containing real fruit juices.
The best part? The baby didn’t have any kind of negative reaction to me drinking it!
They’re currently running a contest on Facebook where you can enter to win a year’s supply of Vitamin B12. I entered, so you could vote for me! (Pretty please…) Or you can enter yourself and make sure to enter that you heard about it from JillWillRun.com – if you win, then I win too!

If you’d like to try this yourself, you can download a coupon for $4 off. You can find the 1st Step Pro Wellness products at Walgreens stores.
And speaking of their products… they do have other items in their lineup. The products are geared toward women and are used by elite athletes as well as those of us who are average everyday women. They make protein powders, multivitamins, joint complex and even coconut water.
So… go enter to win B12 for a year and/or vote for me too! Being a new mom is (a good kind of) exhausting!
