Fall season is upon us and with finals coming up soon, it is important that you, the student, eat the right snacks to keep yourself energized during those late hours of studying. This is the time of year where students flock to the library to study for hours with hopes of passing their exams. For those planning to pull all-nighters, listed below are a few items that are sure to keep your energy and brain cells flowing:

1. Granola: Granola is a good snack because it’s high in fiber, whole grain and is great for boosting your blood sugar levels.
2. Blueberries: great for sharpening memory and have also been known to improve motor skills, as well as lessen stress and anxiety.
3. Peanut Butter & Apples: this is a fun and easy snack for any “on-the-go” college student. The peanut butter is high in fiber and the apples are a supplement of vitamin c which help strengthen the immune system.
4. Steamed Broccoli: For students who may want to go the all-veggie route, this is a snack that can also double as a meal. Steamed broccoli is healthy in that it contains high levels of fiber and is high in vitamin c.
5. Toasted Pumpkin Seeds: these are perfect for the fall season. Pumpkin seeds will help with memorization and are filled with zinc- a mineral credited for boosting the immune system.
