Introduction: Most people experience a massive energy drop around 3:00 PM. This is often due to a lunch that is too high in refined carbohydrates. At Healthy Good Food, we have engineered these five lunch recipes to provide sustained energy release, helping you stay sharp and focused for the rest of your day.
The Best Recipes for Energy:
- The Ultimate Detox Power Salad: This is not just a salad; it is a nutrient-dense fuel source.
- Ingredients: 2 cups of baby kale, 1/2 cup chickpeas, shredded carrots, toasted sunflower seeds, and a tahini-lemon dressing.
- Preparation: Combine the greens and vegetables in a large bowl. Whisk the tahini and lemon juice separately, then drizzle over the top.
- Zucchini Noodle “Zoodles” with Lean Turkey Bolognese: A low-carb alternative to traditional pasta that tastes incredible.
- Ingredients: 2 medium zucchinis (spiraled), 150g lean ground turkey, 1/2 cup organic tomato sauce, and fresh basil.
- Preparation: Sauté the turkey until browned, add the sauce and simmer. Flash-fry the zucchini noodles for only 2 minutes to keep them crunchy.
Why Fiber is Your Best Friend: These recipes are packed with soluble fiber. Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream, which prevents the insulin spikes that cause tiredness.
