I want some Energy!

Are you in need of some energy?
Do you constantly suffer from fatigue throughout the day?
Are you unable to complete simple tasks without feeling like you need to relax or sit down?



Well...
You may be suffering from a nutrient/vitamin/mineral deficiency.
Believe it or not if your body isn't getting all the vitamins and minerals that it needs you may feel tired and lackluster
The solution is to get more greens and Fruit.  Greens are amazing because they are extremely high in many minerals and vitamins and protein that your body needs to rebuild cells and tissues and to keep your electrolytes balanced
Add dark leafy greens to smoothies by creating the following combination:

1-2 cups of spinach
1-2 cups of water/coconut water as needed to blend
1 ripe banana
1 cup of berries or other fruits
Voila you have a yummy green smoothie.

Another way to get more greens is on pizza, soups, cassaroles, and of course salads.

You could also be lacking in energy because you actually don't have enough energy or fuel (calories) coming in.  EAT MORE!

But don't eat junk...eat juicy sweet fruits with natural sugars that will provide sugar to your cells and your brain!
Make yourself a fruit salad before work or school or just pack a few pieces of fruit to enjoy throughout the day.  Eating three meals is not the way to go if you want continuous energy.  Eat small frequent meals to keep your metabolism up and your energy soaring

Pumped!

  1. I am so happy that you wrote a post about energy! I think that so many people, including myself, go through days of fatigue which is a pain when you want to feel awake! I am going to try this smoothie and see how it helps!
