this one takes barely any prep time at all!

does it get any easier than this? go ahead, slice up your favorite kind of apple (honeycrisp for me!), and dip it in some chunky or smooth peanut butter. looking to go healthier? grab the organic pb at trader joe\u2019s. looking for something a little more creative? try mixing it up with almond butter. this snack will not only keep you feeling full and satisfied (thanks pb), it might also keep the doctor away (thanks apples). <\/span><\/p>\n

8. roasted chickpeas<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"courtesy<\/a><\/p>\n

crunchy and savory, these little guys make a great replacement for chips and salty nuts. you can pop a few of them in your mouth while you study, or save them to add to a salad. either way, the best part is that you can flavor them however you want. this <\/span>recipe<\/span><\/a> on natural noshing suggests you try them fajita-style.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. mixed nut medley<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"food-fruits-cereals-breakfast\"<\/a><\/p>\n

sans heavy salt, a mix of nuts and dried fruit is a great option for study snacking. grab a few small bags of your favorite nuts \u2014 almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts \u2014 then mix them up in a bowl with some fruit and granola. do f<\/span>eel free to add some dark chocolate chips in there, too!<\/span><\/p>\n

bonus tip:<\/strong> don\u2019t forget to drink water! sometimes when you feel hungry, your body is actually trying to tell you that you\u2019re thirsty. if you find yourself craving grapes or other watery foods, that probably means you\u2019re dehydrated. so drink up, take breaks to walk around, and have fun trying out these treats.<\/span><\/p>\n

now, please excuse us. we have to leave and go eat all these snacks.<\/p>\n
