At 33, it was imperative for me not go back to old habits. Packing a lunch that I could re heat was not an option. Simply because I couldn't carry my backpack, my laptop, purse etc.
I also noticed how hard it was to make food choices that were acceptable for own dietary standards with so little choices. I knew that time was not available and my focus on food preparation wouldn't be available due to long hours of studying. I did however, find some great fast options for getting me through my long days. Below you will find my top snacks while being in college.
- Cereal & Fresh Fruit
- Hummus and Carrots
- Grapes and Strawberries
- Trail Mix
- Kashi Bar
- Salsa and Corn Nacho Chips
- DIY Popcorn
- Rice Crackers and Sliced Cheese

Healthy College Snacks In Minutes & Grocery List
These are great snack tips! I am trying to eat healthier to lose weight and get in shape and it's hard to do with only two 20 minute breaks at work, so I find that bringing smaller snacks like the ones listed keeps me feeling satisfied without reaching for a bag of chips or chocolate bars from the vending machines. It doesn't take long to grab a few things from the list and throw them in my bag before I leave in the morning.
