For vibrance to last throughout the day, combine small amounts of slow-burning protein and fast-burning carbohydrates, which provide a stable source of energy in your bloodstream, says Gay Hendricks, PhD, in her book Achieving Vibrance (Three Rivers Press, 2001). An excellent choice: oatmeal topped with milk and blueberries. Then enjoy a midmorning apple with peanut butter or banana with a handful of almonds. These foods provide far more energy than a coffee and a donut without the sugar crash.
