Looking for an energy boosting snack or meal with lasting nutrition?
These tasty foods are a great addition to your day that will help keep your energy up.
1. Fruit – Bananas are a foolproof energy food. Add some peanut butter or top off your oatmeal in the morning and you’ll be good to go. Grab an orange for a dose of vitamin c and steady rations of energy. Apples are great too. They take longer to digest, so they will give you a more prolonged lift than other fruits. Green apples are featured in our Mighty Quinn Smoothie.
