Opt out of snacking on pizza and candy when you’re craving something satisfying during a late-night study sesh and try one of these ready- to- eat snacks!
1. Fruit
Fruits are simple and easy when it comes to snacking; they have a lot of sugar to satisfy a craving and enough fiber to keep you full. Bonus- buy fruit to keep in your freezer, it’s great for snacking on when you’re craving something cold and sweet (like ice cream!). I keep a Nutribullet in my room or when I have extra time to make myself a smoothie or natural fruit-based “ice cream”.
2. Bars
If you’re looking for something sweet and protein rich go for a Quest bar! They average about 180 calories each with 20g or protein and barely any sugar! However, if you are going for something unprocessed I suggest trying a Larabar, they are made with fewer than 5 ingredients and curb any late-night cravings!
3. Oatmeal
The best thing I have ever done for myself was to buy a giant bag 2 pound of rolled oats to bring with me to college (okay maybe that’s not my greatest idea but it is definitely up there). Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks- oatmeal is great any time of day. It is versatile enough to be sweet or savory. Throw in some chia seeds, nuts or fruits and you’re good-to-go.
4. Air-Popped Popcorn
Possibly my favorite snack is popcorn sprinkled with cinnamon- if you are more into spicy try it with some cayenne and fresh squeezed lime.
5. Carrots and Baby Peppers
Dip these in Hummus or eat them on their own and you are good to go!
Enjoy!
