Granola, Yogurt, Berry
ParfaitA lot of people have the
misconception that eating healthy means eating bland. That is false.
Everyone loves parfaits because they are fun and actually good-and they’re
great for college students because you can make them right in your
dorm room. All you need is yogurt, granola, fruit, and maybe even honey.
Eaten in the right proportions, this can be a filling and healthy
alternative to the Starbucks coffee and muffin you get when you’re on
the run.

Sunflower Seeds
This snack has a lot of health benefits and would be a perfect on-the-go
breakfast. One of the benefits is that it has a lot of Vitamin E which is good for pains from arthritis. These seeds
are also known to prevent heart attacks, lessen stress levels, and help
you relax. This would be a great breakfast on a big exam or
presentation day to calm your nerves if you are the nervous type. Lastly,
this food is great for your skin. They keep it looking youthful.

Eggs
Surprisingly enough, there is a way to make eggs in a college
dorm. All you need is eggs, milk, and any other toppings you might want to include. You just spray the
coffee mug you want to use, put your eggs and milk into it, beat
them until they’re blended, microwave on high for 45 seconds, stir, and microwave for 30-45 more
seconds. This is a great meal for the on-the-go typical American and is a great source of protein as well.

Greek Yogurt
This is a great breakfast and is easily storable in a college dorm. All you need is a mini fridge. This food is high in calcium and low in
calories. Something I did not know about is that this is also high in protein. However, if you eat this for breakfast, it should be only one. The full-fat packs have 16
grams of fat which, if you’re on a 2,000 calorie diet, is 80% of what you’re supposed to have daily. It is
still a fast breakfast, though.

Peanut Butter
Who doesn’t love the taste of peanut butter? Personally,
I am known for taking a spoon, dishing out a big
glob, and eating it right off the spoon. That is how my parents had to get a lot of
nutrients into my diet when I was a kid. I am the pickiest
eater you will ever meet. But I love my peanut butter.
This is a great way to get nutrients. However, like
with everything else, don’t eat too much.

Whole Wheat Bread
Not a lot of people remember to put fiber in their diets. 100%
whole wheat bread is high in this which is great for your diet. The
carbohydrates in this kind of bread is actually good for you. They
actually give your body energy and can actually help you with weight loss. Slather this in the previously mentioned peanut butter, and you have got yourself a fast, healthy, and easy breakfast meal you are
sure to enjoy.1 SLICE

Strawberry/Banana SmoothieIf you’re like me, you do not really like to eat fruit plainly. I mentioned
how I was a picky eater…well I don’t even like most fruits-unless it’s mixed into a smoothie. I love
smoothies. They get you all the fruits you might not normally eat and they are so filling. They may not be the
quickest to make, but they don’t take too long and they really are one of the most delicious breakfast foods (or anytime snack) I have ever had.
Put it in a to-go cup and head out the door.

1 Glass
Energy Bars
This is probably the most popular choice of breakfast in the college
world-unless you’re not eating any breakfast at all. This can be a great choice or a not so great choice. It
all depends on what kind of bar you choose. Most people do not pick
energy bars. They choose the chocolate or the sugary cereal bars. You have to make the good decision to purchase bars with the nuts and the berries. Also, they can be great on a college budget with coupons.

Fruits
One of the most obvious choices for a healthy breakfast would have to be
fruits in general. One of the big kinds would be any type of berry. Every type of fruit has something unique and different about it to
contribute to your body. Three of my favorites are grapes, bananas, and apples. You can just grab them on the way out of your door in a hurry
and be on your way. There is nothing to prepare and there is almost nothing bad about these foods.
Vegetables
…And with fruit comes vegetables. These things usually go hand in hand. I, however, like fruit more.
One of the more famous things I see being done with vegetables for breakfast is making toast and
putting tomatoes on it. That adds a variety of flavor and keeps the taste
from being bland. The little baby carrots are something else I see
today. You can just grab a handful on the way out your door and you have
got yourself a very beneficial breakfast.
