Five Easy Healthy Breakfasts for College Students

Believe it or not, most people will say that breakfast is there favorite meal. Maybe it’s because so few of us actually seem to eat breakfast that it feels like a weekend treat. Well, you might not have time for Eggs Benedict on a Tuesday, but here are five incredibly simple and healthy breakfasts that are easy to fit into a busy morning


Peanut Butter & Banana On Whole Wheat Toast
Probably one of the best breakfasts out there, it’s surprisingly health. Toast 1-2 pieces of whole wheat bread, smother in peanut butter, and add slices of banana to each piece. Or, if you’re pressed for time (like I always am), you can take alternating bites of just peanut butter toast and just the banana. And, for those without a toaster, regular whole wheat bread makes a great peanut-butter-banana sandwich too!

Apple and Hard-Boiled Egg
This is a super easy one. Hard-boil some eggs when you have a little time at home. You could be reading or studying in the kitchen, or hanging with friends in the next room (with a timer). Then peel them and toss them in a container.

Grab an apple and an egg on your way out the door and BOOM; you just had a healthy, protein-packed breakfast.

Berries & Trail Mix (dorm-friendly)


This is especially useful for those in a dorm because there is no cooking required. Grab a handful of fresh berries (or dried fruit) and another handful of trail mix, Yes, I’d even recommend one of those trail mixes with chocolate in them! (Chocolate for breakfast!)

It’s a small way to make sure you’re getting something in your system before you try and learn a thing or two.

Oatmeal (dorm-friendly)
Guess what? Oatmeal is easy, and it’s actually pretty healthy for you. However, those flavored instant oatmeal options are pretty far away from being real food, so stay away. It’s easier and cheaper to just buy a container of Old-Fashioned oats and make them in the microwave before you head out for the day.

Toaster Waffles
Okay, I’m not recommending every brand. Many are loaded with trans fats, GMOs, and refined sugar. An easy and semi-healthy option, for those near a Trader Joe’s, is to grab their Multigrain Toaster waffles, which Fooducate actually gives a health score of B- (not bad for a frozen food). Compare that to the C-average given to Eggos and the laundry list of ingredients, and Trader Joe’s Multigrain isn’t so bad.
