Yummy Candy Replacements

Let's drop the candy and replace it with healthy, nutritional, long lasting, energy efficient dried fruit. One thing athletes know about performing well and giving it your all is that your energy level will have to be at a high level and will need the lasting energy to complete anything that is started. If you work all day whether in the office setting, labor or even stay at home parent here are snacks you want to invest in that will give your mind, body and health the source of fiber and energy it needs to last throughout the day. Also, you will have enough energy to wake up in the mornings without all that draining sugar that candy leaves. I also recommend it for the kids to save them from the trip to the doctor for tummy aches.
