At this point in the semester, you’re probably exhausted and counting down the days until spring break. Spoiler alert: I am, too. Honestly, it can be really difficult to sit down and study when I know I need to, so I figured it would be beneficial to come up with a cohesive list of the top 10 study snacks. Sitting down and studying may not be enjoyable, but if it is accompanied by a delicious snack, then maybe it won’t be as bad!
- Strawberries and Nutella
This snack has been an absolute go-to recently for me and my friends. It’s absolutely delicious and an easy alternative to making chocolate-covered strawberries.
- Popcorn
Obviously, popcorn is a staple. It might be simple, but it’s easy for any college student to make, and you can add toppings on top to spice it up!
- Veggies and Hummus
A healthy but delicious option. Create a plate of your favorite veggies and share with your friends!
- Peanut Butter
Paired with apples, celery, bananas, or rice cakes, the options are practically endless. As a great source of protein, peanut butter actually has positive effects on your brain, aiding your studying process.
- Crackers and Cheese
A classic, of course, crackers and cheese is a great snack to share with friends. With a variety of crackers and cheeses to choose from, it’s a great and inexpensive option for college students.
- Homemade Trail Mix
A perfect mix of salty and sweet, homemade trail mix is the perfect accompaniment to a study session. Also, eating nuts regularly has been found to improve cognition, learning, and memory!
- Bananas
Bananas are such a versatile snack! Serve on top of yogurt, with Nutella, with peanut butter, or in smoothies.
- Chips and Guac
As a super simple, but tasty snack, chips and guac are one of my go-to snacks. Avocado has also been found to have a positive influence on brain function. So, if you have a lot of memorizing to do, this snack is perfect for you.
- Yogurt
With so many flavors to choose from, yogurt is one of my favorite snacks, especially when topped with fruit and granola!
- Granola Bars
Granola bars are a very straightforward snack, but they’re easy for on the go. They’re a great option for study sessions elsewhere on campus.
