Let's talk about snacking, y'all.
So many college students come to college used to the daily grind of high school. In high school, we are taught that we can't eat during class and that we should just eat during breakfast and lunch and then go home to dinner. Snacks help us more than we know. Today I am going to talk about why snacking is important in college (and in life!)
5 Reasons Why Snacking Is Important In College
Let's break it down. Snacking is important for so many reasons, but here are the top five reasons in my opinion:
1. Snacking Keeps Your Energy Up
When you are in college, you probably have a million things to do. You have to:
- Go to class
- Study for upcoming exams
- Write papers
- Go to events with your student organizations
- Work at your job
- Attend all the group study dates
- And sometimes you even have to do laundry
Everyday is a whirlwind for college students and you cannot afford to be tired throughout the day. With the right snacks, you can feel energized even on days when you would rather take a nap.
2. Snacking Helps you prevent Overeating
I don't know about you, but often after a long day of class if I didn't eat, I would eat A LOT. When you take time throughout the day to snack, you can stop all that after class overeating. So, instead of one big meal after class, you can eat a little throughout the day and then a small meal when you get home.
3. Snacking Helps you Study Longer
It's hard to study when you are hungry. I am sure you have had those moments when you couldn't focus because you were hungry during your study sessions. Instead of ignoring your stomach, feed it with good for you snacks that fill you up!
4. Snacking Provides Important Nutrients For Your Body
It's hard to get your entire nutrients for the day when you are only eating 2-3 meals a day. When you watch the snacks that you have throughout the day, you can eat more of the nutrients you need so you don't have to depend on supplements if you can help it.
5. Snacking Helps Keep your Mood In Check
I know that we have all had those days when we get so hangry. My natural mood when hungry is annoyed and angry. It's hard to walk around campus and go to class when you are hangry. So, having a snack throughout the day will help you avoid giving off those bad vibes.

My New Favorite Snacks: Honest Tea + Lorissa's Kitchen!
I recently found my two new favorite snacks and I think that you will love them too.
Meet Honest Tea
Honest Tea is seriously SO refreshing. I picked up the Organic Honey Green Tea flavor and it was a great drink to have (especially on my photo shoot day, because I definitely eat and drink on set.)
Honest Tea is just a tad sweet so it's not overpowering or anything! You can focus on the hydration without all the excess sugar which is perfect for any drink in my eyes.
Honest Tea is the perfect sidekick to Lorissa's Kitchen because it's refreshing and it's a drink choice that you can feel good about when you are taking a quick break from your study session (or binging the latest television show, I won't tell!)

Meet Lorissa's Kitchen Premium Protein Snacks:
Like I said earlier, I definitely eat on set. y'all. Lorissa's Kitchen has a wide variety of amazing premium protein snacks. I picked up ones in Korean Barbecue and they are definitely one of the yummiest snacks I have tried in a while! I stocked up on three, but I kinda wish I had gotten more. I got my entire family hooked on these!

Where to Find These Products
You can head to your local Walmart and find these products. I used my Walmart app to help me locate them in the store. I found my Lorissa's Kitchen products near one of the checkouts. You can also find Honest Tea in the drinks aisle of your local Walmart. If you cannot find them in-store, you can also Site-To-Store both Lorissa's Kitchen and Honest Tea! The process is super simple and you don't even have to pay shipping! Beware, though, if you Site-To-Store you won't be able to take advantage of the Ibotta offer.
Conclusion
Snacking is extremely beneficial for college students. Don't feel like you can't take some time to snack in class or while studying. Get out of the high school mindset and make sure that you are snacking the right way.
