Between breakfast & lunch or lunch & dinner today, create a high-energy snack that combines a bit of protein, fat, and complex carbohydrate. Some tasty examples: an apple and a small wedge of cheese, all-natural peanut butter on whole-grain bread, yogurt with fruit & a handful of nuts thrown in, tomato with cottage cheese or fresh mozzarella, or carrots dipped in hummus. When you eat complex carbohydrates in combination with protein and healthy fats, the fiber helps to release the energy into your system over time, rather than all at once in a rush. This means that your snack will provide the power you need to get you through the rest of the day!
