Here are some of our favourite and low-maintenance study snacks to help you through, when you’re feeling peckish in between meals. 

Bananas 

Not only are bananas full of potassium, but they come in their own little containers, so they’re the perfect companion to take to the library. And if you accidentally forget about them… you’ve an excuse to bake banana bread. Need we say more?

Berries

If you need something with a little more variety, berries are a great way to go. They’re a great way to switch up your snack game, as you could get a different kind each week to stop it from getting repetitive. If you’re the kind of person who forgets there’s fruit in the fridge, you can freeze them and put them in a smoothie instead!

Nuts

Nuts are high in healthy fats, protein and fibre, and have been proven to help boost your brain. Researchers claim that walnuts are the way to go, but all nuts will give you the kick you need. 

If you have a little time on your hands, there are a few other snacks that require some preparation that can also help encourage concentration.
