Snack Foods for the Dorm Room

There are going to be times where you find yourself stuck in your dorm room studying into the late hours of the night. The biggest problem your going to face is the need for a quick snack, but its important you snack healthily.

This means no:
- Ramen noodles
- Popcorn
- Instant Mac and cheese

These are really common quick meals that may taste good, but really have no positive effect on your work and could even make you more tired.

The argument most people give for why they choose to eat these unhealthy snacks is simply because there quick. well what if I told you that there were even quicker options that could actually give you a boost and help you get your work done?

Fruit
This is a pretty obvious one. Apples, bananas, oranges.... the list goes on and on. I highly doubt that you cant find one that you enjoy and the best thing about them is that there packed full of natural sugars which can give you that boost to finish whatever work your doing. For me personally i always snag 2 or 3 bananas from the dinning hall and keep a stash in my room so that whenever I get peckish I always have a healthy snack on hand.

If fruit isn't for you then another snack You should try is granola bars. Buy a large pack or two and you can make it last a whole semester.

Obviously the main goal here is to find food that provides you with energy to get you focused on work. If your interested in being more creative you should check out Daily Burn for some energy ball snack recipes that can really give you a boost.
