5 library-friendly study snacks to keep you focused

Studying in the library for hourssss? You’re going to get peckish and need snacks that are quiet, mess-free, and actually keep your brain working. We’ve rounded up five top-tier study snacks that won’t disrupt the peace but will still fuel your grind.

1. Fruit smoothies

Smoothies are elite for study sessions—packed with vitamins, natural sugars, and no loud crunching to disturb your fellow library-goers. Go for a banana and berry blend with Greek yogurt for a solid energy boost. Need the gear first? Invest in a Ninja Kitchen blender for delish smoothies on tap!

2. Myprotein Protein Flapjacks

Library study sessions = serious concentration. The Myprotein Protein Flapjacks are a great snack choice because they’re packed with protein and taste unreal. Plus, they won’t make a mess all over your tech.

3. Pitta and hummus

In our opinion, it’s an OG snack combo! Wholemeal pitta is great for slow-releasing energy, and hummus is loaded with protein and healthy fats to keep you going. Defo portion it out before you leave the house—nobody wants to be that person rustling a whole bag of pitta in the quiet section. It’s also super easy to make yourself if you’d eat a full batch!

4. Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate isn’t just a treat—it’s actually proven to help with focus and memory (thanks, science). Just don’t go overboard—nobody wants a sugar crash mid-essay!

5. Rice cakes

Rice cakes are light, crispy, and not too loud (as long as you don’t go feral with the crunching). Spread banana slices on top for a mix of carbs and natural sugars to keep you going through even the longest study sesh.
