Ever notice how your energy seems to dip in the afternoon hours between lunch and dinner? That means your blood sugar level is getting low and you need a calorie boost. Instead of reaching for coffee, soda, or a candy bar to get a temporary spurt of energy, refuel with a handful of dried apricots and almonds. This tasty mix has fewer calories than most candy bars, and it provides almost 50 percent of your recommended daily allowance for vitamin A, plus iron, protein, and dietary fiber. As an added benefit, both foods are low in cholesterol and sodium, too!
