Healthy Energy Foods for Families

Jeff is a kids exercise and nutrition specialist with the goal of helping as many families as possible to achieve healthier lifestyles so that they can enjoy life to the fullest.

Many families choose to consume sugary, processed foods and drinks instead of looking to whole foods for energy. Part of the problem is that many families rely on TV advertising for direction. They are not well-informed or encouraged to eat healthy.

People are often fooled to believe that stimulating foods such as soft drinks, sugar, and sports drinks provide energy, but instead they cause your body to get tired. They give you a small boost of energy, but only for a short period of time. It's the same effect that drugs have on the body.

So what are some healthy, natural foods that provide better quality energy?

Our family loves consuming the following:

Spirulina. If you haven't tried spirulina then you're missing out on some big time energy and nutrition. It is a nutritionally dense blue green algae, rich in protein, Beta Carotene and B vitamins, especially B12. Our family loves this ingredient in our nightly green drink.

Goji berries. They have 500 times more vitamin C per ounce than oranges. One of our kids loves eating goji berries by themselves. But be sure to only give your kids a small handful per day.

Raw cacao (nibs or powder). This is an incredible source of magnesium and antioxidants. We add this ingredient to a trail mix. It is the perfect snack food. Try mixing it with sunflower seeds and the next energy food I'm about to tell you about.
