Week 4

Cooking: What we choose to eat between meals can make or break our mood and physical energy every single day.  Let’s dig into snacks and discuss which foods are best for us during that afternoon lull when we’re craving sugar and caffeine; what to do when we get sleepy at work and can’t nap; and other ways to keep ourselves energized and fueled throughout the day.
