Breakfast is the first meal of the day that gives you your first boost of energy, making it the most important meal. Unfortunately, most college students aren’t able to prepare efficient breakfasts with the limited amount of space in their dorm rooms. Those 8 a.m. classes are not much help either, leaving students with not enough time to grab a quick bite from somewhere around campus. With no fuel in your body, it makes focusing and doing well in their classes more challenging.
No need to worry about tardiness in exchange for breakfast before classes anymore. This is a list of “Runnin’ Late Breakfast Recipes” compiled of quick, dorm-friendly, and healthy recipes perfect for college students to grab and go. These recipes all include under 5 ingredients and can fit perfectly in mini-fridges and cubbies.
- Instant Oatmeal
You can never go wrong with boxed instant oatmeal, but it can get a little boring. Using water or milk, mix it into a bowl, microwave it for around 3-4 minutes (depending on the packaging) and spice it up by mixing in nuts, greek yogurt, and honey for a more creamy and crunchy taste.
- Fruit Bowl
Fresh fruits are always a go-to and can fit perfectly into your mini fridge. Just grab some fruits of your choice, slice them up, put them in a bowl, and drizzle a little qhite sugar on top for extra sweetener.
- Toast
Toast is as simple as it gets with a slice of toasted bread and top it with avocado, salt and pepper or almond butter.
- Egg Sandwich
Did you know you can microwave eggs? Just crack an egg open into a mug, put a damp paper towel over the mug and pop it into the microwave for around 30-40 seconds. (If they are not cooked to your liking, add 10 seconds.) Once they come out, just scoop the eggs onto a slice of bread and add your next ingredients to the other slice of bread. Try adding butter, cheese, and maybe bacon bits or refrigerated bacon to complete your sandwich.
- Yogurt Parfait
Yogurt parfaits are super easy and healthy for morning meals on the go. Just choose a Greek yogurt of your choice and top it with nuts and fruit. Consider pre-making them in mason jars so you can grab them on your way out the door.
