Sometimes you just need to put the laptop and the hard drive down and make use of that MicroFridge you paid so much to rent. By taking periodic breaks every few hours to replenish your energy, you\u2019ll be able to maintain a much more consistent level of productivity. Here\u2019s a list of A+ study snacks to keep you on your toes.<\/p>\n Apples with Peanut Butter<\/b><\/p>\n Or Nutella, or sun butter–any other kind of butter, really. Apples are cheap and often available\u00a0in the dining hall if you have a meal plan. The peanut butter will offer you the protein that you need to maintain study stamina, making this snack an elite combination. While we\u2019re on the topic of apples, let\u2019s discuss the dark horse in the room: apples and cheese. It may sound random, but there\u2019s something about a crisp green apple that goes fantastic with cheese.<\/span><\/p>\n Veggies and Hummus<\/b><\/p>\n If you\u2019re like me, your mom told you before you left home to make sure you were getting all your nutrients. One of my favorite study snacks is the scoop-n-dip veggies and hummus. Carrots are my personal preference, but if you like celery, broccoli, or cauliflower, by all means, dip those too.<\/span><\/p>\n Muddy Buddies<\/b><\/p>\n Look, no one ever said your study snack needs to be healthy all the time. Sometimes you don\u2019t just need blood sugar–you need chocolate. Consumers of Chex cereal can attest that the recipe for Muddy Buddies–and the photo–are always staring them in the face from the back of the box. This snack requires a bit more preparation than apples and cheese, but it\u2019s full of melted chocolate and powdered sugar, so it\u2019s worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n Ultimately, study snacking is not so much about what you\u2019re eating but rather about how you\u2019re eating. Are you eating enough to give you enough energy throughout the day? Are you eating regularly enough to sustain that energy consistently? And are you taking your snack breaks as a moment to care for yourself and your body? Study snacks are self-care, and it\u2019s important to prioritize yourself as you dive into this semester.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Best Food for your Brain Anyone else feeling overwhelmed by the start of the school year?
