In college, it’s extremely important to make healthy choices when it comes to eating. Our busy schedules keep us on the run which makes it difficult at times, but if we prepare, we can make sure we all are well-nourished throughout our busy days.
Fortunately, here at Tulane University, there are plenty of grocery stores that allow students to embrace healthy eating with delicious snacks. Now that I’m a sophomore, I know which are my favorite filling snacks to keep both in my dorm room and with me throughout the day.
Here’s a list of some refrigerated and dry snacks that I keep in my dorm room and some go-to items I like to keep in my backpack to snack on during the day. I recommend these to all students who also want to maintain a healthy lifestyle like me.
Dorm room:
Organic Chickpea Puffs Hippeas (vegan white cheddar’s my favorite!)
Baby carrots and hummus
Rice cakes with sliced turkey and Babybell Cheese
GG crackers with organic almond butter and banana
Chobani Yogurts with raspberries, blueberries and Purely Elizabeth Granola
Undercover Quinoa
Barkthins
Backpack:
Kind Bars Rx Bars (great source of protein!)
Quest Bars (love Cookies & Cream)
Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Bars
Nature Valley Granola Bars
Skinny Pop popcorn
Veggie Straws
Almonds
Bottled Water (this is a must to stay hydrated throughout the day)
Having a substantial amount of snacks that are both yummy and healthy will reduce students’ stress levels and allow them to stick to a healthy lifestyle while having fun at college!
