The only things I've ever found to give me an energy boost are lots of water, smoothies, and green tea with lemon, honey, and grated fresh ginger.

I have one kid under 4 and I'm constantly exhausted. Apart from caffeine, the one thing that gives me a burst of energy is a freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice. Green lemonade is my favorite, with apples, spinach, cucumber and lemons.

Also, try increasing your carbs, and get your B12 levels checked.

Banana, pumpkin seeds, coconut water, quinoa, blueberry, avocado, and oatmeal are some of the energy boosting food I know.

Eggs for protein; dates for iron. I could use other suggestions as well as I'm often exhausted for no reason.

PP, here--also, maybe you should get your iron levels checked.

Nuts, eg almonds and pistachios. But, I am sick of eating nuts, so I could use some suggestions as well.

I also occasionally will buy the pretzels filled with peanut butter. Note, that like nuts, you cannot eat an entire bag. But I find I am pretty full after eating a handful.

I am always exhausted (perhaps having 2 kids under 4 is part of the reason) but I am wondering if there are particular foods that are particularly energy-boosting. I don't eat red meat, eat chicken only about once a month, but I do eat fish and lots of vegetarian & dairy protein. I try to eat pretty low carb and what I do eat is all whole grains or fruit. Almost no processed food/sugar/fries/pizza etc. Any suggestions? TIA!
