Easy Energy Foods

Keeping your body properly fueled helps you maintain your power of positive thinking.  While sugar and caffeine offer a short burst of energy, they don't provide a lasting source of strength.

Try these snacks with an energy-sustaining mix of carbohydrates and protein.

• peanut butter or a slice of turkey on whole-wheat bread
• cottage cheese mixed with fruit
• trail mix with dried fruit, nuts and seeds.
• yogurt with fruit
• hummus on pita bread or with some fresh vegetables
• a cup of bean soup
• sliced mozzarella cheese and whole grain crackers

Also, be sure to drink plenty of water so dehydration doesn't drag your energy level down.
