Pediatrician Questions Energy

What drinks and foods are the best to give energy to kids?

It's summer and I want my son to get out more, rather than stay inside and play video games. Are there any drinks or foods that I can give him to help him boost his energy?

Fruits plus 2 glasses of milk daily.
Make sure he stays hydrated if it is hot outside. If he is underweight consider pediasure. High energy drinks are not recommended for children but a high protein diet can keep him from getting hungry in 2 hours so he can play longer.
A multivitamin is also a good option.
