Life as a student is not easy but we have some (almost) guilt free feeds that might just unlock your inner genius.  Whether you’re cramming for a mid semester quiz or just starting on the 3000 word essay that’s due tomorrow UberEATS has your back. Check out our selection of superfoods primed to give you (at least a placebo) boost to brain performance.   

WAKE ME UP: AVO & EGGS

Chock full of potassium, vitamin K and folate, a good avo is the key to opening that brain chakra. Add on some eggs for antioxidants and protein and you’ve got the ultimate cerebral food combo. Here are some of our top picks:

Avocado, Goats Cheese and Coriander on Rye ($16) – John Smith Cafe Avo Coriander Smash ($14) – Mecca Coffee
Homemade Corn Fritter ($15) – Treetop Cafe Smashed Avocado and Feta Toast ($9.5) – Two Tales
Green Breakky Bowl ($16) – The Diver Cafe Mediterranean Brekkie (V) ($17) – Well Co. Cafe

AFTERNOON SNACKS: KOMBUCHA & PEANUTS

Time for an afternoon pick me up? Snack on peanuts and down some kombucha for brain fuel. According to a range of Harvard led studies peanuts have been found to fight against cognitive decline. Research also suggest probiotic rich drinks like kombucha can benefit mental clarity and mood stability. What guilt free (well, kind of… okay maybe not really) reasons to take a break from your textbook. Here’s what we’ve got our eyes on:

Kombucha Tea ($4.5) – Organic Produce Cafe Chocolate Peanut Butter ($13.95) – Crumble Top
Mr Kombucha 1L. ($19) – Three Blue Ducks Choc Peanut Pancake ($15.95) – Nutrition Station
Peanut Butter Crunch ($3.5) – Pana Chocolate Kombucha ($6.8) – Nourishing Quarter

LATE NIGHT JAMMIN: SALMON

There’s nothing glamorous about late nights in the library but that doesn’t mean you have to conform to the melancholy vibes. Get onboard with the globe’s newest foodie trend, Poke, and take advantage of all the omega 3 goodness in salmon. Our favourites include:

Salmon Poke ($20) – Salmon and Bear Green Room ($18.9) – Fishbowl
The Aloha Way Poke Bowl (GF) ($15) – POKE Salmon Poke Bowl ($13) – Aloha Poke Bar

LAST MINUTE SPRINT: SUGAR

So you’re down to the last couple of hours and nothing’s making sense anymore? Glucose is actually one of the brain’s main fuels. In good times it should only be consumed in moderation but right now a piece of cake might just be what you need to get through that block. We’re big fans of the following sweet treats:

Original Glaze Dozen – Krispy Kreme Liam Hemsworthy (VG) ($25) – Doughnut Time
Strawberry Watermelon Cake ($29) – Black Star Chocolate Strawberry Crepe ($15.5) – Passionflower
Blueberry Cheesecake Milkshake ($8) – Milk Bar by Cafe Ish S’More Nuts Waffle ($14) – The Choc Pot
