As the end of finals week nears, I start to lose a little momentum. After long hours of studying, a little pick me up is the perfect cure. For me, the best finals week snack are peanut M&Ms. The combination of sweet chocolate and nutty peanuts creates the perfect sweet and satisfying combination. The chocolate helps with that initial burst of energy to keep you focused while the protein from the peanut helps you concentrate longer. Although some may disagree, I feel less guilty about eating peanut M&Ms than other candies simply because there is a peanut in the center. If I could make a suggestion on how to make the peanut M&Ms even better, I’d tell makers of M&Ms to use dark chocolate since dark chocolate is better for you and helps curb your appetite after a meal.
What are your favorite snacks? Do you have a go to snack to help give you that extra bust of energy you need to get through a day of work or study?
I have developed an obsession with Cutie mandarin oranges, and for a small meal I love to have a couple of them with some deli turkey and a handful of dry roasted unsalted nuts. It gives you all the right nutritional groups and tastes so yummy - I feel really healthy after I eat it and it sustains me through busy days!
