Finding enjoyable meals to eat at college is hard enough, and healthy snacks are arguably just as difficult to think of. Here's my list of delicious snacks that will help keep you on a path to wellness as you're stressing your way through college.
1. Yogurt
Whether it's Greek, plain, or non-dairy, yogurt can be a snack if eaten on its own or a small meal with granola, dried fruit, or other toppings. Plus, its compact size makes it perfect to eat if you're rushing to class and want to eat on the way.
2. Peanut/almond butter
Both kinds of nut butter can be used for so many things and have a lot of protein. Always keep a jar or two because you're not sure when you'll be craving a PB+J, apple with peanut butter, or just a huge spoonful of it.
3. Popcorn
There are so many different brands and flavors of popcorn, so pick your favorite to snack on whenever you're feeling hungry. Because it's a lighter snack, you won't feel super stuffed but will still be able to keep going until your next meal (unless you eat the whole bag, of course!).
4. Freeze-dried fruit
It's no secret that most dining hall fruit is absolutely disgusting, but that's no reason to cut down on your favorites. Freeze-dried fruit is amazing because it has a much longer shelf life than normal fruit, meaning that you don't have to eat it within a short time frame.
5. Dark chocolate
Sweet cravings are inevitable, and dark chocolate is the perfect fix. There are many health benefits to consuming it in moderation, plus there are so many varieties! Whatever you like, there's a dark chocolate bar just for you.
6. Pita chips + hummus
Pita chips are perfectly salty and addicting, what could be better? Also, because they're baked, they are less bad for you than other chips. Pair them with hummus so you'll stay full longer!
7. Granola
Granola can be eaten alone, in yogurt, or with milk for a quick snack or breakfast. With so many types available, you can definitely find one that you love.
