Need a quick brain booster on the way to a final? (It's in College Lifestyles travel bag!)

Fish is a known brain booster (see the salmon below); but there's more!!!

Kashi Pumpkin Spice Flax Bars are delicious and we can munch on while we are studying or, let's face it, running to class! The secret - omega-3!!!!!

Good luck!!!

Brain Foods for Exam Week! (It's already in College Lifestyles pantry!)

It's hard to believe that this semester is winding down!!! Finals and projects are approaching!

Certain foods can act as brain boosters. Imagine, certain foods can improve your grades!!!!

A well known brain food is fish!!! These Chicken of the Sea salmon packets are just perfect for the dorm and for a study break (and not as smelly as the can)! Available at all local grocers!!!

Another 'Fall' Cereal to have in your Dorm/Apartment

Fall always brings the great scent of cinnamon (think of the cinnamon spice smell!). Kashi Cinnamon Harvest Cereal is not only a great breakfast, but great to snack on while your studying! High in fiber, it will keep you fuller longer than skipping breakfast and munching on vending selections.

Available at all grocers, including Wal-Mart and Target!

Dorm/Apartment Food Find - Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt

Double the protein than regular yogurt, Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt is extremely smooth, creamy, nutritious, and TASTY! Enjoy with fruit or eat plain! From the makers of Stoneyfield Farm, this yogurt is incredible!

Nervous to try it, click here for a coupon! Available in grocers nationwide, it cost less than 2 visits to the hallway vending machine!

Exam Day Breakfast?

Our first blog focused on ‘brain foods.’ Right now, your focus is on studying and papers - spending hours studying, pulling an all nighter, or (if you were like me) go to sleep at 8pm, wake up at 2 am and study!

Whatever is your ‘preferred’ method of studying – don’t take your morning exam on empty!
1. Stock your refrigerator with Dannon Light-n-Fit Shakes (TIP – Pick the blueberry flavor – blueberries have been found to improve brain health!). Grab while running to class.
2. If driving through fast food, select a McDonald’s Fruit-n-Yogurt Parfait, Subway Honey Mustard Ham & Egg Roll, or McDonald’s Egg Muffin. All 3 contain sources of lean protein. (Other breakfast sandwiches have over 30 grams of fat!)
