The Best Study Snacks • Peak Academic Coaching

Snacking while studying is a good way to keep up focus and stay productive. But healthy snacks are much better for studying than snacks that just taste good and they can give added boosts to study time.

Almonds are a good snack because they are satisfying and healthy. But stick to the unsalted kind to avoid a surplus of salt. If your student is not a fan of almonds then other nuts such as peanuts, cashews, and walnuts are good choices as well.

Dark Chocolate is full of antioxidants and natural stimulants. These help improve blood flow to the brain, making the student able to focus better. It also helps endorphins, boosting a students mood.

Air-popped popcorn is a filling and good snack for studying. A student can also add salt or olive oil for better taste.

Fruit salad gives student’s brains a boost and gives them a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Fruit also gives their brain a boost to help keep them focused on the material.

Greek yogurt is a great snack if your student needs something more filling. It has a higher amount of protein than normal yogurt, which will help curb hunger, as well as being full of calcium and probiotics for gut health.

Frozen grapes require overnight prep but are rewarding in the end. Just freeze some grapes in a baggie. These are just as refreshing as ice cream or popsicles but they are better for the studying brain.

Vegetables are great healthy snacks, but they are better with hummus, which also provides good nutrients. Hummus is high in protein, which curbs hunger, and Omega 3 fatty acids, which are brain boosting. Vegetables also contain vitamins and fiber. This a perfect combination for healthy snacking.

Making homemade trail mix is a good idea, especially since the store bought kind is usually expensive and loaded with extra salts and sugars. Some good things to include might be pumpkin and sunflower seeds, pecans, almonds, cashews, and raisins. This trail mix includes many of the foods that were previously mentioned and combines their benefits.

Apples with peanut butter is a combination of two great snacks that can be eaten during studying or on a study break.

Crunchy roasted chickpeas are a great alternative to chips. They are full of protein and fiber, which is good for a student who is studying. And they can also have seasonings added to them for a better flavor.

Students who spend a lot of time studying will get hungary, and a good snack can keep them motivated and boost their productivity.
