Healthy snacks that are high in fiber and protein can help you get more done, stay focused, and keep your mind sharp while you’re reading chapters.
So, here is a list of ten healthy study snacks for high school students, college students, postgraduates, and people in remote graduate programs who need to eat something while studying.
1. Nuts
You can get a good amount of healthy fat and protein from a handful of almonds, but you can also choose peanuts, cashews, or pistachios. Just don’t eat too much salt, because even though it’s not bad for you, it will make you very thirsty.
2. Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is full of natural stimulants and antioxidants that can help increase blood flow to the brain and make it easier to concentrate. When eaten in small amounts, dark chocolate can also help the body make more endorphins, which make people feel good.
3. Fruit Salad
Oranges, grapes, strawberries, pineapple, and bananas can make the brain feel better and give the body a good amount of minerals and fiber. Make a big bowl to last you until breakfast the next morning to save time.
4. Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is not only high in protein, but it is also very filling, so it can stop you from getting hungry at night. Mix it with your fruit salad or drizzle a little honey over it to give it some flavor.
5. Frozen Grapes
Plan ahead by putting a bunch of grapes in a plastic bag with a zipper and putting them in the freezer overnight. The next day while you study, the tasty frozen grapes will make a great snack. A good alternative to popsicles and ice cream, which aren’t as healthy.
6. Veggies With Hummus
Hummus is a snack that can be eaten with vegetables. It is high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and calcium. Some vegetables that go well with hummus are carrots, cucumbers, celery, and red peppers.
7. Apples With Peanut Butter
You can combine two great snacks by cutting an apple into slices and spreading peanut butter on them.

8. Roasted Chickpeas
Skip the salty chips and snack on roasted chickpeas instead. They are crunchy and tasty. Chickpeas are full of fiber and protein, and when roasted in the oven with salt and chili powder, they taste great. Mix them with honey, garlic, or parmesan to give them more flavor.
9. Edamame
Instead of candy, edamame is a tasty, healthier snack that you can lick your fingers clean with. Also, edamame is a natural source of fiber and protein and should be a regular part of everyone’s diet.
10. Brown Rice Crackers
Even though potato chips are a tasty snack, they are not good for your brain when you are studying. On the other hand, brown rice crackers are crisp and crunchy, and when eaten with sliced avocado, they give you all the nutrients you need to stay focused for hours.
