Breakfast
Yogurt Parfait
What You’ll Need: Tub of Yogurt (Any flavor)
Granola
Fruit of Choice
How to Make: This one is pretty self-explanatory. I have small, reusable, hard plastic cups that are great for taking it on the go. I recommend getting precut fruit if you do not live in an apartment. Walmart and Target have great options for cheap. This recipe is a great option if you have an early class. Make several of them at once and them grab them as you head out the door for class!

Scrambled Eggs
What You’ll Need: Eggs
Toppings/Seasonings of Choice
How to Make: Crack your desired amount of eggs into a microwave safe bowl and mix together. Microwave for 1 to 1 ½ minutes. If you like your eggs a little runny the cook time will decrease. Add on your desired topping or seasoning. This is where you can personalize it to your taste. Add salt and pepper for a classic breakfast or spice it up with Tabasco sauce!
