As you get into the swing of things this semester, you’ll probably realize that you don’t have as much time in the morning as you hoped, and you might not always have time to run to the cafeteria before class. Sausage McMuffins and pancakes on a stick aren’t the only way to make sure you get an early serving of protein. And Pop Tarts and Toaster Strudels don’t have to be on your grocery shopping list because you’re a college student. Prepping is the name of the game. Get smoothie ingredients into a ziplock the night before, or make fresh granola on Sunday evening to last you throughout the week. Don’t just pre-pack your lunch (honestly, you’ll probably eat out anyway), but get a healthy serving of fruits, vegetables and more with these recipes.
