The Best Healthy College Snacks
This post is all about the best simple and healthy snacks for college students that you can make in your dorm room!
It can be hard to eat healthy in college (trust me, I’ve been there) but it’s incredibly important. Countless studies have shown that eating healthy helps you focus more, make better grades, and overall feel happier.
So here are the best healthy and delicious college snack ideas you can make!
A lot of these are snacks that you can have on hand in your dorm room or snacks that only take less than five minutes or less to make!

This yogurt parfait with strawberries and granola is a super healthy and refreshing snack that could not be easier to make. You can make it ahead for your breakfast or snack in just a few minutes.
2. Popcorn
Popcorn is a go-to college snack that you should always keep on hand in your dorm room. If you don’t have a microwave in your room, it’s guaranteed there will be on in your shared hall kitchen.
