To Drink?
Always include a drink to stay hydrated and help concentration.
Water, milk, or unsweetened fruit juice are the best options
Occasionally, try adding a fruit smoothie made from natural yoghurt, mixed berries or a home-made milkshake (try mixing semi-skimmed milk with puréed strawberries or banana).
Keep it Cool
Use a cool bag and an ice pack
Store in a cool place away from a radiator
Put in the fridge at school/work if possible
Freeze smoothie/milk based drinks then they can
defrost through the morning
