Healthy eating during exams. 

So, its that time of the year here in Australia where everyone is stressed out because of exams. I for one totally second that. With stress we tend to forget health, exercise and just general life. I have tried to compile healthy foods which I eat during exam revision. They are easy to make, healthy snacks! What more do you want. There are some sweet treats here and there, as a reward but nothing too indulgent. 

1. The Trail

Ingredients-

-Peanuts

-Cashew Nuts

-Almonds

-Walnuts

-Pine Nuts

-Pumpkin Seeds

-Dates (if you want)

-Cranberry

-Dark chocolate chips

Just roast the pumpkin and pine nuts in the over for 10-20 minutes. Let it cool, mix with all the other ingredients and munch away while revising. 

The best thing about this recipe is that you can make a whole heap at once and it doesn't even take that long. It is very healthy and delicious all the same. I am allowed to take in snacks during the exam and this going to be my staple snack. Also, quick fact, almond is supposed to help remember things, so definitely they that out. 

2. The Smoothie

Ingredients- 

-Handful of baby spinach

-berries of your choice

-kiwi

-watermelon

-milk/yogurt

Just blend the ingredients and voila! The smoothie is so filling and healthy its full of antioxidants and proteins. I find this to be an amazing kick after coming back from school, or in the morning. 

3. Peanut Butter and Carrots/Apple

Ingredients

-Natural peanut butter, feel free to use any other nut butters if you prefer those. 

-Carrots

-Celery

-Apple

Just chop up the veggies and fruits with about 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter and eat away. 

Again, easy to eat, easy to make, simple and healthy. Perfect snack for exam time. 

These are just some real quick and handy recopies which I have been using to keep me going through exam revision. In saying that, I have another whole week of prep and then the exams. I might be a little screwed, but we will see.
