Some pantry staples to try:

• Rolled oats or steel-cut oats
• Almonds or other nuts
• Sweet potatoes
• Beans or cooked lentils
• Green tea or yerba mate
• Brown rice or quinoa

Being wiped out is a signal. Stock your pantry with energy-supporting staples and watch your spark return.

If fatigue sticks around no matter what you try, it may signal something deeper than missing pieces in your kitchen. It’s worth checking in with your doctor to rule out underlying issues.
