Monday: The Case of the Candy Bar Vanda started his snack experiments with a candy bar. It was his usual go-to snack because it was easy to stash in his backpack. During his afternoon classes, he munched on the candy bar, expecting a burst of energy. And a burst he got—right before a big crash that left him nodding off during his science lecture. Lesson Learned: Like the sugary cereal, candy bars give a quick energy spike, but the crash that follows is not worth the ride. Tuesday: The Power of Protein Recalling the success of his egg-cellent breakfast, Vanda packed a small bag of mixed nuts and a cheese stick. This protein-packed combo kept his energy steady throughout the afternoon. He noticed that he could focus better and didn't feel as frantic to finish his homework during class. Lesson Learned: Protein snacks provide a stable and sustained energy source, helping avoid the dreaded crash. Wednesday: Fruit to the Rescue On Wednesday, Vanda opted for an apple and a small container of peanut butter. The natural sugars in the apple provided quick energy, while the peanut butter added a boost of protein and healthy fats. Vanda was amazed at how fresh and alert he felt during his after-school tutoring session—no yawns in sight! Lesson Learned: Combining fruits with proteins or healthy fats can be a delicious and effective way to keep energy levels balanced.
