Our favorite, most effective energy boosting foods

Spirulina, chlorella, chia and hemp seeds can all be thrown in your morning smoothie for a big boost. It helps balance your blood sugar, has super concentrated nutrients and gives you long-lasting energy. We also throw in avocados, organic berries, raw nuts and coconut oil. Energy-enhancing superfoods like cacao, maca or green tea can rev up the phytochemical power to energize you without the afternoon caffeine crash.
