Snacking can either give you a large energy boost or it can most definitely be an energy zapper depending on what food you are choosing. I have found with healthy snacking that I can give my body and really good boost of energy when I concentrate on those foods that have a good amount of protein and some healthy fat with minimal starchy carbohydrates.
Here is a list of my favorite snacks that are designed to encourage energy and clear thinking instead of weigh you down:
- Pitted dates filled with nut butter or goat cheese
- Hummus and veggies
- Deviled Eggs
- Hard boiled eggs
- Grass fed beef jerky (no sugar or gluten)
- Wild Salmon jerky (no sugar or gluten)
- Nuts (no added oils)
- Dried fruit
- Fruit
