56 Edible Energy Aids

Coffee is a great way to wake up and start the day but there are many other edible energy aids that will perk you up and help you power through long days -- or long nights. There are many alternatives to the energy drinks seen in supermarkets and grocery stores such as chocolate chia puddings and protein-loaded pancakes. The surge towards natural and organic foods makes finding natural energy-rich treats very easy.

Infusing foods with caffeine and natural energy supplements is a great way to spend some quality time in your kitchen. Whipping up some homemade energizing snacks is fun and simple -- when you have time.

When there isn't time to make these treats yourself, food companies are making it convenient to pick up some edible energy aids like Awake's coffee chocolate bars. They are a little bit sweet and filled with energizing ingredients.
