Energy Boosting Benefits
Hummus contains a fantastic dose of healthy fats and can help to maintain your blood sugar levels – both of these things are great for keeping your energy levels up!
Radishes are rich in potassium, which helps the cells to produce energy. A potassium deficiency can lead to feelings of fatigue.
Red bell peppers are an incredible source of vitamin C, which plays a key role in energy production.
Asparagus is super high in a range of B vitamins, which contribute to the process of turning for intel fuel!
A calcium deficiency can quickly zap your energy levels, but luckily you can up your intake in a delicious way with feta cheese!
Quinoa is great for energy levels as it’s high in protein, a complex carbohydrate with fibre, giving your body a steady stream of energy throughout the day.
Teff supports cell repair and helps to boost energy.
