Portable and Quiet Study Snacks to Eat in the Library

We’ve all been there – we’re in the trenches studying in the back corner of the library, swimming in books and study guides, when someone produces a really loud, crinkly bag of chips and interrupts the zone we’re in. No one wants to be that person. The next time you plan to hit the books in the library, plan to pack some smart snacks that are portable, quiet, and healthy. With our guide, it doesn’t have to be difficult to find library-friendly snacking choices!

Bananas

them with your books!).

Sandwiches

If you’re feeling more modern, you can even try Nutella. Either way, a sandwich – when packed in a plastic bag – is the perfect snack to keep up your study stamina.

Snack Cheese

Throw a string cheese stick in your bag for your next trip to the library – it’s a good source of calcium, protein, and healthy fat. As an added bonus, it’s already pre-portioned for you. Babybel wax cheeses are also a smart option.

Granola Bars

Browse your grocery store for fun flavors like chocolate chip and peanut butter. You can even find healthier brands that add flaxseed, nuts, and dried fruit.

Trail Mix
