Healthy Snacks for College Student
A busy schedule and a tight budget don’t mean you have to survive on junk food while in college. 36 You can bring them easily with you as you rush between classes. Focus your snack choices on simple ingredients that take only minutes to prepare. 37
Sandwiches
Make a sandwich when you need something to eat. Use whole grain bread. 38 Slices of meat and low-fat cheese are also healthy choices. Include vegetables for both the nutrient and fiber. Lettuce, tomatoes and green peppers are just a few options.
Fruits and Vegetables
Slice vegetables ahead of time and keep them in small plastic bags. 39 Celery, carrots and broccoli taste good. Include a small container of hummus（鹰嘴豆泥）in the bags if you don’t like to eat your vegetables plain. Both whole and sliced fruits are a healthy snack when you need something sweeter.
Warm Snacks
A warm snack is a welcome addition to a late-night study session. Warm a pita（口袋饼）round in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Add any other vegetables that you like to the pita. Baked potatoes are another cheap and healthy option for snacking. For a sweeter snack, cut an apple in half and remove the core and seeds. Top with one teaspoon of brown sugar. 40 Let the apple cool for an additional five minutes before eating it.
