Some days we're just tired. No matter how early we went to bed or how little activity we actually did, there are days when our energy is low. Most of us turn to coffee in times like these, but that might not be the best thing to do. A good solution, and a delicious one at that, is to turn to food. You know, the source of our energy.
Some foods are known energy boosters -- and by the way, they're not the ones loaded with sugar. Foods loaded with complex carbs like whole grains, oats, nuts and seeds are what you need. They'll not only fill you up but fuel you up, too. We gathered together 25 recipes to get you started. So put down the coffee mug and get cooking.
