Ocean Spray came out with a line of "energy" juice drinks just in time for this tired Mama! We were able to taste test 2 yummy flavors with pick me up names like Cranergy Cranberry Lift and Cranergy Raspberry Cranberry Lift.

As I may be one of the only Moms out there that doesn't drink coffee, I've depended on a Coke here and there to give me additional energy. Not very healthy, but given the total lack of sleep I've been dealing with over the past 2 1/2 years (that is sure to continue for at least another 3 years I suspect...) I can totally use a drink with a kick now and then. So I'm thrilled that a brand I trust, Ocean Spray, has come out with an energy juice drink. And I usually drink Cranberry juice a few times a week anyhow to ward off any female health issues (UTI's, etc.) Given Cranergy has green tea and caffiene, I still need to drink minimal amounts of it or any other caffienated beverage as I am still breastfeeding.

Taken from the corporate website, they say that Cranergy is "enhanced with natural energizers like green tea extract and B vitamins. Made with Splenda® brand sweetener, Cranergy™ has only 35 calories per eight-ounce serving, 50 percent fewer calories than other leading energy drinks and traditional sodas."
