Activation Energy Granola, $9.50

Available at Brooklyn Standard, 188 Nassau St., Vinegar Hill and dozens of other NYC retailers.

The Brooklyn-based Granola Lab has created granola that will give you an extra jolt. It's made with coffee from Crop to Cup, dark chocolate and hazelnuts. The coffee is sustainable and roasted locally, too.

With 150 mg of caffeine per every two tablespoons — roughly the equivalent of a cup of coffee — this peanut butter will get you going in the morning. It's also full of electrolytes and protein, the company says.

Chocolate, Coffee + Kumquat Spread

Available for next day delivery in NYC via Mouth, $13.25 a jar

The small-batch L.A.-based jam maker Lemon Bird Preserves combines candied kumquats, stone ground chocolate and coffee from Ritual Coffee Roasters to make a Nutella-esque spread you can spoon onto your morning toast. 

Aztec Bar, $3.95 for 1.09 oz.

Health Nuts, 211 26th Ave., Bayside, Queens; Westerly Natural Market, 911 Eighth Ave., Manhattan or available online here 

Not only does this bar made by Chapul contain organic espresso beans, it also has cricket flour — which is gluten-free, by the way — if you really want to step up how you energize. The bar is also made with dates and cayenne for an extra kick.
