It’s that time of year again: midterm season. DUN DUN DUN..<\/p>\n

These next two weeks will be crazy with two research papers, four exams and loads of laundry to pack for spring break..joy. \u00a0It can sound super easy to run to the vending machine during your six hour grind at the library or emotionally eat to cope with the stress. \u00a0But, I challenge you. \u00a0I have come up with five amazingly, healthy snacks combos that will fuel your body with good energy and nutrients, and your spring break bod can still shine!<\/p>\n

1. Rice Cakes and Peanut Butter<\/p>\n

Rice cakes make a great substitute for bread on the go and it’s even better when paired with a nice source of protein! \u00a0Eat with fruit to jazz it up.<\/p>\n

3. Hummus and Celery<\/p>\n

Although hummus can be dense in calories, in the right portion it is a great source of lean protein. \u00a0Serving with celery or any other veggies can guarantee getting those greens in and their multiple vitamins!<\/p>\n
