20 Healthy Winter Snacks for Your Study Sessions
Of all the baking seasons, winter is by far my favorite! There are so many cozy flavors – cinnamon, hazelnut, ginger – to keep you warm even on the darkest night. These flavors also bring back amazing memories of holidays past for me.
While holiday cookies and candy taste great, they won’t help much with studying though. But, these flavors can help power you through those exam study sessions you have coming up!
To make sure your brain is at its peak, create a smarter study snack that contains protein, fiber, and a healthy fat. These ingredients will keep you full, power your body and brain, and boost your focus all through finals week!
Just a word about the recipes – I try to include a variety of recipes to suit many different tastes and food preferences. There are vegan and gluten-free options. Some recipes require an oven or stove, but many are no-bake.
