10 Study Time Snacks That You Must Indulge

While the mind is using grey cells to memorise lessons, your tummy growls for a quick bite. To satiate hunger pangs, you need munchies that are healthy and non-messy, so you can slog for hours. Here’s a ‘smart snacking’ list for your study desk to keep you afloat, minus the bloat. By Pallavi Shankar


1 Boiled eggs: Packed with protein and selenium, it is a filling snack that keeps tummy happy for couple of hours. Sprinkle chopped onion, tomato, chilli, coriander leaves, pepper and salt on hard or soft boiled eggs and you are good to go. That it is non-greasy is another plus because you wouldn’t want something messy to eat, with books and notes scattered on your desk.   


2 Chickpeas: Boil chickpeas or put it in the microwave (with adequate water) for an hour – time enough to get through your crucial notes. Then, select your seasoning and munch away. Chickpeas have high protein content; keep some around and pop in your mouth when hungry. 


3 Nutty trail: Dry fruits such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, raisins have natural sugar and fibre that helps you stay full and also gives you the sugar rush needed for long study hours. Mix nuts of your choice – raisins, cashew, peanuts – and keep them in an airtight jar. You can also carry this to your friend’s place for group study.


4 Apple: This good old fruit is delicious, nutritious and filling. Chop an apple and eat it when you are craving for a sweet snack. Apple gives you a serotonin (brain chemical) boost that can power up your cram session before a class test. Pick it over processed food like fried namkeen and sugar-laden biscuits.


5 Clear Soup: It is natural to want a warm beverage when you are stressed about meeting a deadline (homework, project, etc). What better than some piping hot soup to charge up your study time? To keep it light, have a clear vegetable soup (full of carrots, peas, onion, broccoli) or chicken soup. Avoid heavy cream-based soups, as they make you sleepy. 


6 Popcorn: Low on calories and high in good carbs and fibre, popcorn is a super snack. A bowl of air popped or microwaved popcorn with a dash of butter (or olive oil), salt and pepper will uplift your mood. It is rich in antioxidants that is a health and mood booster.  


7 Frozen grapes: It’s a fruity treat with enough crunch to wake you up if you are about to doze off while reading a difficult chapter. A replacement for saccharine treats like mithai and bakery goods, frozen grapes is a welcome distraction from your studies. And the fruit sugar will give you a sugar high that the mind needs after focusing on cerebral work. Just pop few fresh grapes in the freezer and eat them when hungry. It is like a frozen dessert – almost. 


8 Hummus and pita: Rich in protein, fibre and flavour, hummus and pita combo is a great break time food or even a late night snack. Try rosemary, dill, chilli or other hummus options that you get in health stores. Spread some on pita bread and chomp on. This one is like a full meal, so eat in moderation or you will feel full and sleepy. 



9 Flavoured yoghurt: A great study snack, it has protein, good fat as well as other nutrients to add flavour and fun to your study time. Home-made or flavoured yoghurt (with interesting on the shelf variations such as blueberry, mango, kulfi and more), anything works. And one trip to the refrigerator is enough to get you your snack. If you have time, add some chopped fruits, pistachio, walnuts, raisins and cranberries to turn it into an exotic dessert.   


10 Banana chips: Healthy and non-greasy, unlike potato chips, banana chips is full of potassium and fibre. This nutrient rich snack won’t make you feel bloated like extra salty potato fries. Alternatively, you can stock up your room shelf with interesting versions like spinach chips, karela chips and so on to spice up your wafers plate on a dull homework day.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN).

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
