While so many ingredients can fall into the “sustained energy” category, the following eight are the ones I reach for when I need to beat the afternoon slump. Each of them is low in sugar and high in nutrients that work together to support healthy inflammation levels, blood sugar balance, and a strong immune system. When all systems of your body are working optimally, you’ll feel better and have the energy to live the life you deserve. So without further ado, these are my top eight foods for restoring your energy: Avocados are one of my favorite sources of healthy fats that also contain protein and fiber to sustain your energy levels even more throughout the day. These are also a versatile choice for breakfast or lunch to mitigate the need for snacking between meals. And after all, who doesn’t love a good avo toast or guacamole? Methylation is fueled by key B vitamins that are abundant in sulfuric vegetables like Brussels sprouts and broccoli. Add these to your daily vegetable rotation for more energized methylation pathways. Plus, unlike coffee, green tea also contains L-theanine, which slows the absorption of caffeine in your brain to provide a steadier energy boost without the jitters.
