This one goes out to all our readers who are currently reading this in a study carrel surrounded by books, papers, and notes. We remember this time very well, yes indeed, and we know those stretches of intense studying can get long and hungry. Here are all our best recipes for snacks and munchies to help you through your next all-nighter!




I get precooked edamame in the shell and bring a baggie of them with me. Deshelling them slows me down a bit with the mindless eating as I study, and it keeps my hands busy.
I'll also often bring yogurt or apple sauce with me for a study pick me up. And chocolate pudding.

My personal favorite is Alton Brown's Firecrackers.
They're a bit on the spicy side but that's the way I like them. A bowl of these and a Mountain Dew were all I needed to stay awake for a few more hours.

Oooh, I'm having a bunch of people over on Sunday to study; I'll definitely make the chickpeas and set out a bunch of veggies. I'm not sure what else I'll do. Probably a carrot cake.
I see a lot of people eating stuff with peanut butter when they're studying--apples, celery, cold cereal. A handful of nuts and some yoghurt are great pick-me-ups in the middle of serious studying/writing.
