The Best Energy Restoring Recipes In Disney Dreamlight Valley

Energy management is a prominent feature of Disney Dreamlight Valley. You need energy in order to gather resources, whether that’s digging holes, mining rocks, or fishing. Anything that captures fish, harvests ingredients, or stocks up your materials will burn through your blue energy bar. This bar increases with every level you earn for your character, but you’ll need to eat to keep it topped up.

Without energy, your character will simply stop any activity, and you’ll be informed that you either need to eat or visit home. Visiting home is fine if you’re in the Plaza, or even the Peaceful Meadow, but if you’re far from home, then a quick snack helps. With so many meals and raw ingredients to feast on, it’s hard to know which will fill your energy meter, or boost up your energy reserves.

High Energy Meals In Disney Dreamlight Valley

Eating basic ingredients will top up your energy bar. However, energy can be overfilled. This is achieved by eating high-energy food; doing so will turn your energy bar yellow and your character will sprint everywhere, rather than move at the gentle jog as usual.

Overfilling is perfect for those long gardening bouts or fishing trips.
