That&#8217;s because ingredients like refined carbs, added sugars, and saturated fats can all lead to that dreaded afternoon slump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, foods that are rich in nutrients like protein, fiber, and healthy fats can help boost your energy levels and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

They&#8217;re your body&#8217;s main source of energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simple carbohydrates are made up of simple sugars and refined starches, and they&#8217;re usually found in processed and refined foods like white bread, candy, and cake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These types of carbohydrates are absorbed into your bloodstream quickly, which can give you a temporary energy boost. But, they can also cause your blood sugar levels to spike and then crash soon after. This can leave you feeling tired, irritable, and hungry (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sph.umich.edu\/pursuit\/2019posts\/mood-blood-sugar-kujawski.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complex carbohydrates are made up of long chains of sugars, and they&#8217;re found in whole grain breads, starchy vegetables, and legumes. These types of carbohydrates are broken down more slowly by your body, which can help to provide a more stable source of energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The energy bar recipes below contain both simple and complex carbohydrates to give you a sustained energy boost that will last until your next meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some ingredients you&#8217;ll want to look for in a power bar recipe include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Oats: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rich in whole, slow-digesting carbohydrates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fruit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a natural source of simple sugars plus fiber<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> Arugula Salad With Steak Recipe<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Homemade_Energy_Bars_Recipe\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38981 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5310-1024x577.png\" alt=\"energy bars recipe\" width=\"770\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5310.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5310-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5310.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Frame-5310.png 1229w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Protein_Affect_Your_Energy_Levels\"><\/span><strong>How Does Protein Affect Your Energy Levels?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein is an essential macronutrient that plays a key role in many bodily functions, including the building and repair of tissues, the production of enzymes and hormones, and the transportation of nutrients throughout the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/salmon-veggie-curry-recipe\/\">body<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not to mention that it&#8217;s also necessary for the development and maintenance of lean muscle mass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While protein is important for everyone, it&#8217;s especially important for athletes and active individuals because it helps to repair and rebuild muscle tissue that&#8217;s been broken down during exercise.
