Monday Motivation:
Next time you’re feeling that midday energy dip, pass on the pop and skip a trip to the vending machine! Caffeine and sugar give you an energy spike, but the crash that follows will leave you feeling even more tired than before.

Instead, try these 5 foods that help naturally boost your energy and keep you alert all day, elevating your mood and helping you crush your workout!
- Blueberries – these little berries are power-packed with antioxidants, help with cognitive function, and can reduce muscle soreness!
- Almonds are a great pick-me-up full of vitamin E, magnesium, and protein. They’re also very portable; try keeping a serving in your desk drawer for when the urge to snack strikes!
- Eggs provide protein for a steady energy source, lots of B vitamins, and help build muscle mass.
- Greek Yogurt is a good alternative to regular yogurt because it has more protein (but less lactose and carbohydrates which add calories) and helps you feel full longer.
- Leafy Greens such as spinach are packed with iron that helps you feel more energetic, alert, and improves concentration levels. Try these tips to build a better salad!
