Don’t bail on breakfast.
Not a morning person? Chances are, you’re not the only one in your dorm managing a love-hate relationship with your snooze button. If dining hall meals don’t fit into your AM routine, keep speedy, energizing breakfast foods by your bed.
Microwavable oatmeal is a great option, and you can boost the flavor (and nutritional value) by topping it with sliced banana, dried fruit, or chopped nuts and seeds—all nonperishable and perfect for dorm-room storage. If you’re a die-hard fan of peanut butter (or almond butter), spread some on an apple, a banana, or a few rice cakes, and take ‘em to go. Equipped with a mini-fridge? Pack it with protein-rich dairy products to power your mornings. Try whole grain cereal with low-fat milk or Greek yogurt with a piece of fruit. Any of these no-hassle breakfast options will jump-start your day and fill your stomach with high-octane fuel.
