What to Eat for Afternoon Focus, Before a Workout, or to Wind Down at Night

Jul 7, 2026

The 2pm slump, the pre-workout stretch, the can't-shut-your-brain-off 10pm scroll — they're not the same problem, and they don't need the same snack.

The 2pm slump: Focus Cookie

This is the moment the Focus Cookie was actually built for: an ordinary afternoon where your attention is fading and you still have hours of work left. 250mg of Cognizin® Citicoline for sustained attention, caffeine from espresso for the immediate lift, and 3g of creatine supporting brain energy underneath both. It's built to get you through the second half of your day, not just the first jolt of it.

Before a workout, or on the go: Protein Cookie

10g of protein and 4g of fiber in a soft-baked peanut-butter cookie. Something you can eat on the way out the door before a workout, or in the middle of a day that doesn't have room for a sit-down meal. It's not a pre-workout supplement in the stimulant sense; it's real food that happens to be protein-dense, for the moments when “eat something” and “keep moving” are both true at once.

Winding down at night: Sleep Cookie

250mg of L-theanine built for the 30-to-60-minute window before you actually want to be asleep with support for shifting out of “still on” mode. The oatmeal-raisin, cinnamon-and-nutmeg flavor profile was chosen to feel like an evening ritual. 

Quick Answers

Which cookie is best for an afternoon energy slump?
The Focus Cookie: Cognizin® citicoline for sustained attention, caffeine for immediate alertness, and creatine supporting brain energy underneath both.

Is the Protein Cookie a pre-workout supplement?
It's a protein- and fiber-dense snack that works well before or after activity, not a caffeinated pre-workout formula.

When should I eat the Sleep Cookie?
About 30 to 60 minutes before you want to start winding down. It supports relaxation gradually rather than acting as a fast-acting sedative.
