Eat for Energy (2)

Fruit
Fruit of all kinds contain healthy carbohydrates, which will raise your energy level quickly. They have fiber, which will fill you up, and lots of vitamins. Bananas make especially good snacks because they have lots of potassium. This important mineral keeps your nerves and muscles working well.

Whole grains
Whole wheat, oats and brown rice give you fiber, good carbohydrates and vitamins. They provide energy that will stay with you until your next meal.

For a snack, try a sandwich on whole-wheat bread or whole-grain cereal sprinkled over yogurt. And speaking of yogurt...

Greek Yogurt
All yogurt is great for digestion. But thick Greek yogurt has extra protein for longer-lasting energy.

Dark chocolate
There's nothing wrong with enjoying an occasional treat - especially if it's chocolate. Chocolate provides minerals like iron that can increase your energy. But aim for chocolate that's at least 70 percent cacao. It provides more health benefits - and less sugar.
