As moms, we have mastered the art of multi-tasking. We can help with homework, cook dinner, vacuum the living room, and plan for tomorrow’s board meeting practically all at the same time. Which might be why we are so often exhausted and feel as though we’re running on empty from taking care of our kids and the home while juggling work or volunteering. By the time we reach the afternoon (and have already dedicated countless hours to getting everything done), it can feel impossible to finish the day without a nap. To keep up with our hectic schedules, many moms reach for cups of coffee or energy drinks packed with extra calories.

When done correctly, though, hydration really is key to keeping you going. Recent studies have shown that even a 5% reduction in body fluids can cause as much as a 30% loss of energy. Luckily, Ocean Spray has created an innovative (and delicious) juice drink that helps restore our natural energy. Cranergy starts with Ocean Spray's premium cranberry juice - many of these cranberries grown in bogs in my neck of the woods near Boston -- and blends in natural energizers to give us an extra lift as we make our way through our busy days. With B-vitamins, green tea extract, and Vitamin C, Cranergy can boost your immune system, provide antioxidants, and offer you a natural source of caffeine. The best part (especially with beach season upon us) is that the drinks have only 35 calories per serving. Cranergy comes in two flavors, Cranberry Lift, and Raspberry Cranberry Lift, and both are worth trying. So next time you feel yourself in need of an afternoon pick-me-up (which, if you’re a mom, will probably be this afternoon), skip the coffee or soda and give Cranergy a try.
