When I need a little boost of energy I walk a block to Spoon (on 20th). They have miniaturized muffings, scones, and pain au chocolat. One of those and a cup of tea and I’m back in business!

If I’m totally run down from lack of fuel, I go for a packet or handful of nuts, usually raw almonds. Seems to do the trick. I’d like to think that dark chocolate does the same, but I’m not sure it does, for me… But often I’ll eat it anyway! :-)

A simple teaspoon of the finest Canadian maple syrup from a farm in southern Ontario. The energy burst trails off very gradually ….

I soak coca leaves in Red Bull for about three hours and then chew on the leaves for 15 minutes. Amazing rush!!

Nuts and dried cranberies. Or, if we can consider a beverage eating, anything with expresso in it or a tall glass of water. Wakes you up for sure.

a banana usually does the trick for me or a handful of dried cranberries

A handful of nuts or chunk of cheese does it for me.

I always try to keep a pack of PeeledSnacks at my desk (the plu-what? is my fave). At home, I hide (from myself) hershey kisses or mini reeses in the fridge or freezer. Just one will make me happy.

A piece of baguette sandwiched with dark chcolate – always works!
Posted by Sabena • 18 January 2008, 10:20
real fruits, unsalted mixed nuts, and a cup of joe always do the trick.

A banana, dark chocolate or PeeledSnack. Or yogurt – that can really hit the spot!

Pick me up: It’s a package of the spice of life that gets me “picked up”. I think we can all take a spoon full of life and get that much desired pick me up? A hot cocktail (rum toddy from the Flatiron Louge) isn’t a bad second place pick me up either.

I like to go the Kefir route. I’ll chug a glass (pomegranate is the flavor du jour), and then I usually feel great! mmmm nice-n-tangy!

I like a handful of chocolate-covered espresso beans for a little zing in the middle of the day, especially after lunch, when I seem to need it most. And with a steamy cup of chai tea, I’ll be ready for anything!

peanut butter and dark chocolate

Hawaiian pizza… drizzled with malagueta pepper-infused olive oil. Sweet, savory, and spicy – your taste buds will truly get a pick-me-up!

Concentrated fresh ginger tea wil take you a long way
Posted by Luis • 18 January 2008, 15:08
