Can anyone help me with suggestions for what foods to eat for energy?
I feel tired too often.
I'm following a gluten-free and dairy-free diet as those two make me very tired.
I've lowered my salt intake drastically, which has helped. When I was seasoning my meals with salt I was getting more tired than now.
If it's just energy you want with no frills, I can make a suggestion. I make my own cut down version of a 'gainer' smoothie which I have for brunch most days. Lots of carbs and good fats, it works out about 400 calories with my 'looks about right' measurements, ofc adjust as required.
Pretty simple, a good amount of oats, heaped teaspoon of mixed milled seeds (flax, chia etc), dessert spoon of high quality peanut butter (no additives/salt) and a large frozen banana (obviously peel and divide prior to freezing). I blend this together with whole milk, but almond milk makes a decent alternative, it's just not worth the price relative to moo milk for me personally.
Oats don't agree with me but the rest sounds ace, I imagine it's easier to digest food that's been blended.
yep no chewing required - all vitamins , amino acids minerals released by the blender
