Try brain boosting healthy snacks!

AU-focused, practical ideas that keep energy steady (not spiky). Now with reasoning + protein stats.

Healthy brain booster foods
TL;DR:
  • Pre-study brekkie: protein + fibre (e.g., eggs on wholegrain or PB + banana toast). Why: steadier glucose = fewer crashes.
  • Hydration: aim ~6–8 cups/day (250 ml cup). Why: even 1–2% dehydration can dent attention & mood.
  • Snack formula: fruit/veg + protein/healthy fat; optional square of 70% dark choc. Why: fibre + fat/protein = longer satiety.

Good to know (AU)

  • Build snacks from fruit or veg + protein or healthy fat for steadier energy and focus.
  • Dark chocolate 70%+ in small amounts is fine. Keep portions modest.
  • General guidance only. If you have medical or dietary needs, follow your GP or an APD dietitian.
  • Reading AUS labels: 1 cup ≈ 250 ml. Compare per 100 g to check sugar and sodium quickly.
