My fav college snacks!
Here are some of my fav snacks as a college student! Some I keep at home for after a long day or before leaving for classes, others I carry in my bag in my stackable snack container :)
• “Toddler” trail mix - insp. by @Cara_linn
Good&Gather - Strawberry Banana Yogurt Bites
Gerber - Puffs Vanilla Cereal
Good&Gather - Honey Roasted Almonds
Good&Gather - Sweetfig Glazed Cashews
Good&Gather- Organic Beetroot Biscuit Toddler Snacks
Cheerio - Strawberry Banana Cheerios
• Whisps - Cheese crisps, I personally have only tried the Asiago and Pepper Jack ones but they have many different flavors that i’m sure are just as delicious!
• Harvest Snaps - Baked green pea snacks, I love the light and creamy ceasar and the parmesan roasted garlic flavors but all of them are delicious!
• Homemade banana chocolate and pb bark - Chop one banana and lay out on wax or parchment paper, microwave crunchy (or creamy) peanut butter for 30sec or until runny when mixed, pour over chopped banana, microwave dark (milk, semisweet, etc.) chocolate chips in 30sec increments (opt. add a drizzle of olive oil to the chips when microwaving for a smoother melt), pour chocolate over banana and pb layers, smooth out the top and add any desired toppings I just used salt (you could do sprinkles, coconut shreds, granola, etc.). Freeze until chocolate is hardened and enjoy!
• Karma - Probiotic water. I’ve loved all of the flavors I have tried, they are flavorful but not too sugary sweet and I love this easy fun way to hydrate!
As a college student, snacking can be both a tasty pleasure and a necessity to keep energy levels up during hectic days. Here are some additional ideas to inspire your snack choices. 1. **DIY Protein Bars** - Make your own protein bars at home with oats, nut butter, and your favorite sweeteners. You can customize them with ingredients like seeds, dark chocolate, or dried fruits. 2. **Cottage Cheese Cups** - A protein-packed option, mix cottage cheese with fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for an easy snack. 3. **Popcorn** - Air-popped popcorn seasoned with your favorite spices offers a low-calorie, high-fiber snack choice that's perfect for movie nights or study sessions. 4. **Nut Butter on Apple Slices** - Slice up an apple and spread your choice of almond or peanut butter for a sweet and satisfying treat. This snack is not only delicious but also contributes healthy fats to your diet. 5. **Energy Bites** - Combine oats, honey, nut butter, and mix-ins like chocolate chips or chia seeds, then roll into small balls for a quick grab-and-go snack. With these ideas and your favorites listed, you can maintain a balanced diet that supports your busy college lifestyle!
