As a person who constantly loves snacking, getting through a full day of classes is hard. Without easy access to a kitchen, Uber Eats, Chick-fil-A, and even the vending machines across campus become ever-so daunting during a busy day on campus. However, none of these options are particularly healthy for your wallet, nor your fitness goals.
Having a full-sized kitchen in an off-campus apartment makes things much easier, but if you are living on campus, it may be time to utilize that community kitchen in your building and our on-campus Publix. Some of these recipes only require two ingredients, making it even easier to fit time for cooking into your busy schedule. Nonetheless, if you’re trying to eat a bit healthier or save some money, here are some recipes that you can easily prepare to satisfy your cravings at all times of the day.

Making homemade fruit roll-ups is far easier than you may think. If you are spending a lazy Sunday inside, then all you need is a blender, oven, and fruit to make these rolls. They do take a while in the oven, though, so make sure you have the time to spend at home.
