In reply to Mary. Hi Mary, thank you very much for your input. That's very interesting! Bananas do give me an energy boost, but I guess everyone's body metabolizes bananas differently. It's best to listen to your body and do what works best for you. There's nothing better than celery juice first thing in the morning, I agree 100%!

Ha ha. Not to be a party pooper, but I actually find bananas make me very sleepy. In fact, if I cannot sleep at night, I will have a banana and lettuce smoothie for the sedative effect of both foods. Whilst bananas making you sleepy sounds odd – especially when so many people say they are energy boosters – a bananas contain both magnesium and melatonin, both of which help you sleep. The best energy booster ever for me is a celery juice, but given it also works well for constipation……well you can imagine.

In reply to Fleur Allen. It's always good to make healthy choices :) I am working on a top 10 energy-boosting foods video right now. I will get it online in a few days.

Phil this is a great post I love it – my focus at the moment is my health and well being so I am bookmarking this page – I’ve only got through your top 10 so far but they are great and I’m a little bit proud of myself because I reached for a banana (your first food listed) just yesterday as my afternoon snack rather than sugar – woohoo!

The combination of bananas and dark chocolate is not only healthy, but also tastes great! I often add dark chocolate and banana to my oatmeal in the morning.

I love to make a smoothie of frozen bananas, dark chocolate, unsweetened almond milk or low fat milk and some vanilla extract. It tastes even better with coconut milk, if you don't mind the extra calories and fat.

Thank you for dropping by!

I love bananas. They are delicious and they provide a lot of good nutrients. The potassium is what I like the most about it because it can help counteract the efects of sodium.

Not only does it give you energy along with vitmain B6, it also helps your heart a little bit. This is why I also like to combine with dark chocolate in a smoothie. It tastes creamy and it contributes iron and magnesium that I need. What’s your favorite recipe combining these different health foods?

Thank you for your comment, Susanne.

You are right, home-made sauerkraut is always far superior to store-bought.

There is not a day in summer when I do not drink some kind of berry smoothie ?

That is a very comprehensive list of energy boosting foods. I have been making my own sauerkraut at home since it is so easy to do and it is so much more fabulous than store bought. I love them all though, especially berries. Mmmm, this post is making me hungry! Thanks for sharing.
