Always feeling lethargic? Fuel up with these three energy-boosting superfoods and get the fuel you need to make the most out of every single day!
Superfood #1: Blueberries
If you’re looking for a quick energy boost before your workouts, just have some blueberries! They’re a low-calorie source of not only carbohydrates and fibre, but a host of vitamins and minerals as well, such as:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin K
- Magnesium
- Calcium
- Potassium
But that’s not the only reason people love them so much. They’re also well known for being packed with antioxidants, which can help keep things like heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer at bay by protecting your body from free radical damage.

Superfood #2: Oats
When it comes to carb sources, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything better than this superfood. It’s not only packed with the energy-boosting macronutrient, but also rich in muscle-building protein and blood-sugar-regulating, heart-friendly fibre.
But that’s not all. Oats also have a host of micronutrients, including manganese, zinc, vitamin B1, phosphorus, and magnesium.
Long story short, this superfood will not only give you a steady supply of energy, but help you get bigger and stronger as well while keeping you safe from medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
Superfood #3: Quinoa
If you ever get tired of oats, quinoa is definitely a great alternative. It’s also rich in carbs and has protein and fibre as well. And just like oats, it’s also virtually flavourless, so you can enjoy it pretty much however you like.
Use it as a substitute for rice. Add it to your salad. Use it in your favourite pastries or as a base for your homemade poké bowl. The possibilities are truly endless.
