JessFitnessBarbie: Healthy Power Study Snacks

Hi Friends,

As we all know (and dread) final exam season is upon us. Finals are stressful enough as is, the last thing you need to worry about is study snacks. But don't worry, I've got you covered with some delicious healthy snacks that are super fun! (and very instagram worthy--during a study break of course). Eating healthy micronutrient filled foods will keep you feeling full longer, provide energy as well as give you a little brain power boost (and I mean we can all use that around this time of year). I kept all of these pretty simple with a fun twist because let's face it, we ain't got hours to spend in the kitchen cooking up fancy dishes! It's like adding those perfect statement accessories to your basic LBD!

1) Dressed up Oats

My favourite toppings include: apples, bananas, raisins, nuts and peanut butter.

2) Cucumber Sandwiches

Try this with lean turkey breast, cheddar cheese and hummus...delish!

3) Topped Rice Cakes

You can pretty much top these with anything from cream cheese and ham to peanut butter, banana, honey and cinnamon (my personal fave).

4) Zucchini Pizza Bites

Slice zucchini, top with tomato sauce, cheese and anything else your heart desires for a healthy and delicious guilt-free spin on pizza.

5) Avo & Egg on Toast

Protein packed and delicious! You really can't go wrong with this one! I love to substitute eggs for egg whites and sprinkle some fresh ground pepper on top as well.

6) Apple Slice Sandwiches

My go-to combo is definitely almond butter and trail mix!

7) Greek Yogurt Granola Parfait

I love vanilla with berries!

8) PB&J Protein Shake

No time to cook? No problem. Simply toss some strawberries, peanut butter, almond milk, ice cubes and protein powder (optional) into a blender and voila!
