Double the Energy
Since Akavar is a great way to boost your energy levels, why not combine it with foods that are high in energy but low in calories? You may be surprised to find that low calorie can equate to high in flavor.
Peanut Butter - Who doesn’t love peanut butter spread on crunchy celery sticks, crisp apple wedges, or a ripe banana? This kid and adult favorite snack is rich in protein and high in fats that are good for your heart. Combine it with your favorite fruit or “good carb” food to give you a much needed energy boost before you head off to the gym.
Hummus - Rich in proteins and fatty acids essential for good heart health, hummus is also a great food source for extended energy and endurance. Try it with your favorite crackers or pita chips.
Fiber Cereal - Long gone are the days of fiber cereal that tastes like cardboard! Kashi’s GOLEAN Crunch!, Fiber One, and Kellog’s All-Bran are all tasty and great sources for energy-packed fiber.
