Healthy Dorm-Friendly Breakfast Ideas

With 8 am classes every day this semester, I tend to put sleep above everything when it comes to getting ready in the morning. That being said, I can’t skip breakfast unless I’m tryna fall asleep and lose focus in class (which I’m not). Here’s what I stash in my dorm room to fuel me up and actually keep me full for most of the morning:

The Goods:

• Stash of bananas 
• Jar of almond or peanut butter
• English muffins
• Oatmeal (if you have a microwave)
• Greek yogurt 
• Lara bars 

The Tools:

• Bowl
• Spoon
• Knife

(super complicated, I know)

• Bananas and some sort of nut butter are the key to my DIY dorm breakfasts. I put them in/on everything, not to mention bananas are a perfect mid-morning snack. 
• English muffins are cheap, delicious, and great for making mini sandwiches with said fruit and nut butter.
• Instant oatmeal comes in tons of flavors and is super easy to make if you have water and a microwave. For an extra touch, I add some fruit and mix in some nut butter (bet you didn’t see that coming!!)    
• I often find Greek yogurt on sale at the grocery store for 10/$10. This is the fastest of all the breakfast options, yet still filling.
• If I’m really running late, I’ll grab a Lara bar or some other protein bar (preferably one without a lot of sugar) to at least get something in my system. Speaking of bars, I also love dried fruit bars as a pick-me-up between classes (That’s It and Trader Joe’s make delicious ones).

I hope this post helps those of you struggle to get out of bed as much as I do! Don’t forget that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, kids.
