6 Foods To Eat For More Energy
The cold weather, the absence of natural light, the return to work after the whirlwind of the holidays—it's normal to feel like you're lacking energy at the start of the year.
The answer isn't at the bottom of your next cup of coffee—it's actually on your plate!
Certain foods can provide us with the dose of energy we need thanks to their vitamins and nutrients. Here are six we're adding to our melas this month to give up the pick--me-up we need.

Citrus is full of vitamin C, which helps us fight fatigue and enables better absorption of iron. Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes—we're adding them all in.
Try these:

Thanks to its high fibre content, oatmeal gives us energy and keeps our blood sugar levels stable (especially when you add in a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt). Say goodbye to your cravings!
Try these:
Quinoa
