Easy Meals for College Students
College doesn’t have to mean living solely on plain ramen noodles or pizza (though these can be delicious and easy options), and it certainly doesn’t mean skipping meals or snacks!

We searched the web and compiled a few suggestions for easy recipes you can make with minimal prep and cooking equipment needed.
Summer Pasta Salad
This meal is delicious served chilled on a hot summer day and so convenient to just take out a serving whenever you’re in need of a complete meal. This is also a great way to incorporate pasta into your meals if pasta is fear food for you. What makes this a complete meal is the inclusion of all of the macronutrients- carbs, proteins, and fats- plus the addition of veggies for some color, fiber, and added nutrients.
Super Simple Granola
This is my favorite granola recipe. It’s just the right amount of crunchy and chewy. It has a really nice deep flavor with the addition of the orange zest and maple syrup. Plus when you bake it your whole house will smell amazing. It makes the perfect addition to breakfast, snacks, or anytime.

It helps prevent extreme hunger between meals and provides another opportunity throughout the day to find pleasure and satisfaction in eating. These snack bites are a delicious and satisfying way to snack.
