If you’re looking to up your antioxidant game, try this Energy-Boosting Blueberry Smoothie on for starters. It’s loaded with antioxidant-rich foods like frozen blueberries, strawberries, spinach and walnuts. Plus, many of these ingredients are natural energy-boosters, containing the right balance of protein, fiber and good-for-you fats for long-lasting fuel. The sweet berries and dates do a nice job of masking the savory taste of the spinach, nuts and seeds because every healthy smoothie deserves to be delicious, too! And for all my vegan friends this recipe will work for you. Sip on this smoothie in the morning or mid-afternoon for natural energy that lasts.

Quick, tasty energy snack bar

Holiday themed nutritious and delicious energy bites.

I based this recipe on Vector chocolate chip bars - which I like but are too full of processed sugars/palm oil/other gunk for my taste.

These bars (for a portion of equal calories) have less sodium and saturated fat and more fibre and potassium. The sugars come from dried fruit instead of refined sugar and corn syrup. They don't have as much protein (about 2/3 of protein in Vector bars), and although they contain vitamins and minerals it's kind of hard to compare them.

A sweet, healthy alternative to store bought granola bars
