It’s understandable that the typical college student feels like they have minimal time for taking care of themselves. It’s true. We all know the feeling. When you’re on the go, rushing to your next class or meeting, it’s usually easiest to resort to eating Panda Express, Chic Fil A, or any other dining option that’s quick. But, these options are usually unhealthy, and have the potential to negatively affect your health.
FEAR NOT. There is a solution: Meal Prep.
It’s brilliant. Basically, you choose a day of the week (most people do Sunday but choose whatever works for you), make 5-6 servings of a meal and then package them in individual serving size containers. Often times, these meals take about an hour to cook, and provide you with a week’s worth of dinners or lunches.
Here are 3 blogs with recipes that have got me drooling.

Now, packing lunch is as easy as grabbing a container and heading out the door! It’s a simple way to take care of your body and stay healthy as you conquer the day.
