Sometimes that mid-day slump is too much to ignore and we need some kind of pick me up.  Our world class personal trainers have created a list of healthy foods that can help boost your energy and combat mid-day fatigue!

Bananas: Are an excellent source of vitamins and healthy sugars which can give the body a quick boost in energy. We recommend pairing bananas with a fat and protein source to help it burn more slowly in the body.

Eggs:  Eggs are packed with protein specifically the amino acid Leucine which helps the body absorb blood sugar boosting energy. They are also packed with Vitamin B!
