Wellness Wednesday: Nutritious Snacks On-the-Go

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at USF chapter.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle while in college can be challenging, collegiettes™.

You may not have the time to shop and meal prep. Most of us are on a budget and grabbing food on-the-go is much more convenient. Planning and packing nutritious snacks can be both easy and a lot more affordable.

Yogurt Parfait

A yogurt parfait gives you the option to have fun and add in different ingredients. Granola and fresh fruit are delicious healthy options. Try adding some banana and chocolate to satisfy your sweet tooth.

DIY Lunchables

I make these almost every day. It is the perfect way to get protein and dairy into your diet. Recreate your favorite childhood lunchable using healthier ingredients.  

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is so versatile. Eat it plain or add peaches, pineapple and strawberries for sweetness. Cucumbers and tomatoes add a great savory taste!

Peanut Butter

If you have a sweet craving, peanut butter will satisfy it. Bananas, apples and pretzels pair nicely with creamy or crunchy peanut butter!

Hummus

Hummus is delicious on just about everything. Pack it with pita chips, veggies or something you enjoy!

Nuts and Dried Fruit

Nuts and dried fruit make a nutritious snack. All too often we find mixes that may have one or two things we dislike in them. By creating your own trail mix, the possibilities are endless.

By adding healthy snacks each day, you are on your way to a healthier lifestyle!
