The Best Snacks For A Quick Energy Boost

Homemade Trail Mix

Nuts, oatmeal, and fruit have already been discussed in the previous snacks especially with regards to protein, good carbs, and natural sugars respectively. The dominant source of energy in each of these three ingredients supplies energy in such a way that is highly complementary to the others. This means a homemade trail mix, in which ingredients like nuts, grains, and oatmeal are toasted or baked together while fruits are tossed in afterward, provides various forms of energy from many different nutrients. This variety ensures you receive all the benefits we have discussed with each ingredient individually and thus receive a great boost of lasting energy. It also means you can make a different trail mix each time to get the nutrients you need the most at any given time.
