    fruit, whole grains, anything with protein (peanut butter, cottage cheese), nuts
    pretty much anything lacking in caffeine and refined sugar would be a healthy energy booster

    You could try out a couple things depending on how you spread your meals out through out the day.

    3pm would be a good time for a carb/protein snack...maybe PB on a slice of bread, almonds and an apple or some cheese with a carb

    Or even pushups against the wall, leg lifts, things like that that start your blood pumpin and move the oxygen through out it.....really a great pick me up! Even just a few minutes of it to give yourself a boost:drinker:

    Hope something like that helps you out.:flowerforyou: Let us know:happy:

    I like the fruit idea. That way you can share with the kiddos. :wink:

    A friend of mine told me that carb overloads can lead to feeling sluggish during the day...

    but so can three toddlers! :laugh:
