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:

Chicken Causa ($9) – Andinos Eggs Benedict ($16) – Jafa Cafe
Avocado and Pea Smash ($18) – Chuffed Smashed Avocado Sandwich ($15) – Pintu

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:

Assorted 3 Pack Petit Gateaux ($27) – Miann Good Buzz Kombucha ($6) – Green Time
Kombucha ($4.9) – Domain and Ayr Cacao Peanut Butter Ball ($4) – The Raw Kitchen

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 some salmon in you and take advantage of all the omega 3 goodness. Our favourites include:

King Salmon ($14) – Best Ugly Bagels Salmon Poke ($12.9) – Shaka Bowl Poke
Gravlax ($18) – Atlas Bar and Eatery Sashimi Don ($20) – &Sushi

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:

Sublime ($9) – The Raw Kitchen Key Lime Pie ($25) – Miss Clawdy
2 Rolled Ice Cream, 2 Thickshakes ($22) – Bangkok Ice Cream Dutch Apple Doughnuts ($12) – Boy & Bird

These options are just some of the brain foods that can be delivered to the University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology. We’ve also kept your student budget in mind, first time users get $10 off with the promo code: STUDYNZ.
