Foods to Give You Lasting Energy!

April 20, 2019 by Cathy Mckinnon 1 Comment

You need loads of energy to get through your jam-packed day! When you feel sluggish or low on energy, you most likely need to get some nutrient-dense foods in your system.

Here are some foods that will give you a quick boost of lasting energy without the crash:

Oatmeal: Oatmeal is one of the easiest and most delicious meals ever. Oatmeal contains the healthy type of carbs that are a great source of energy. They help metabolize the energy in your body by providing nutrients like vitamin B, thiamine, folate and niacin. Oatmeal is personalized energy! You can throw in whatever ingredients you like.

To enjoy a warm bowl of delicious oatmeal, try this recipe: Boil two scoops of oatmeal in a pinch of salt, a cup of water, and two tablespoons of peanut butter. Cook until the water is absorbed and it looks a little soupy. You can even sprinkle some black pepper on the top for additional taste and seasoning.

Eggs: Eggs can provide 30% of the protein your body requires and help strengthen and build your muscles. You can use eggs however you like. You can make an omelet, scramble them up, or simply hard-boil them.

Yogurt: Yogurt may be an easy thing to snack on, but it also provides your body with an incredible amount of energy. It’s milk, lactose, and low sugar levels are responsible for energy, and the protein helps slow food digestion so you can store that energy for a longer period of time.

Shrimp: Shrimp is rich in vitamin B12 and very low in calories. Vitamin B12 helps your body produce energy at a much faster rate. Shrimp also contains omega 3 fatty acids, which help boost your mood and energy levels.

Hummus: This Mediterranean dish is made from various herbs, spices, and chickpeas. It also contains olive oil, lemon juice, and sesame seed paste. These ingredients provide the nutrients and healthy carbs needed to help our bodies produce energy. They also contain healthy fats and protein, which means that you will be able to store that energy for a longer period of time.

Strawberries: Strawberries contain natural fructose, which gives you a quick yet sustainable boost of energy. You can eat them raw or add them to your oatmeal, acai bowls or smoothies.

Spinach: We all know that mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells. Spinach contains nitrates that are responsible for improving the efficiency of mitochondria, which helps provide energy to your cells.

Bananas: Bananas not only provide your body with energy but they help store it. They make a perfect snack for before you head to the gym.

Try adding some of these foods to your diet to boost your energy levels and power up your body’s performance!
