10 Healthy Foods That Boost Energy

       During the day we all have periods where we are lacking energy.  Coffee, soda and sugary snacks are the go to, I’m even guilty it. It can be so confusing to know what will actually give you energy and not just fill you with sugar and make you crash even worse an hour later. I have a list below of 10 foods that you can snack on or add to your meals to help you have more energy throughout the day.

-          Apples

-          Peppers (hummus is also great for energy, pair them together and its even better)

-          Pineapple

-          Granola (with yogurt is even better)

-          Quinoa

-          Salmon (the ultimate  protein, the right mix of protein, carbs, and healthy fats is what provides you with long-term energy)

-          Edamame

-          Melons

-          Broccoli

-          Water (not getting enough water is the main reason people feel sluggish and tired)
