Let’s be real, finals suck. However, there is no way around them (unfortunately). What makes studying easier for me is always having my favorite snacks on hand. Snacking makes the time go by faster and I actually feel more focused. People say that it is important to eat healthy during midterms so you feel alive and energized. While healthy snacking is one option, another route you can take is to treat yourself for enduring the torture your brain goes through while studying. I am going to give you the best of both worlds and provide you with a list of my favorite snacks that will give you energy and are slightly healthier and then a list that will satisfy your taste buds and cravings!
Protein-packed healthy snacks:
-
Apples and peanut butter

Cheese and Crackers (my favorite is wheat thins and string cheese)
