Fuel learning

  • Think of your brain as a high performance car - without the proper fuel it won't be able to perform. To keep your blood sugar levels stable and aid concentration you should eat 3 small meals with a couple of healthy snacks in between.

Tips

  • If you're looking for a savoury alternative, try spreading the tortilla with some hummus and add some strips of red pepper or grated carrot.
