Protein Packed
I'm sure you've been following the protein craze lately! I know I have. Whether you’re powering through classes, hitting the gym, or just trying to stay full between meals, these protein-packed snacks are my absolute favorites.
These are my favorite protein bars! They are the perfect grab-and-go if you are on a rush to class in the morning, or if you need a pick-me-up before a big exam. My favorite flavor has got to be the Chocolate Mint Cookie! Definitely worth the shot if...

I loveeeeeee cottage cheese. I think everyone should be eating this stuff, specifically the Good Culture cups. I love pairing cottage cheese with Triscuit crackers, baby carrots, or even celery sticks. For a sweeter vibe, maybe add some blueberries o...

At my school, every dining hall is full of Core Power Protein Shakes, and they certainly are a hot commodity! I think they are an excellent option to keep in your mini-fridge for some extra protein. I also like to use the chocolate flavor as the crea...

I am a huge fan of Khloe's protein popcorn. These bags are great to store in your dorm, for cozy movie nights with the roomies or for a pregame pick-me-up. My favorite flavor is definitely the white cheddar!
Khloud Protein Popcorn
When I started my freshman year, I was the biggest yogurt hater. That was, until I started eating Oikos Greek Yogurt with almonds and honey! This is the perfect breakfast to have in your dorm. The little cups store very nicely in a mini-fridge and ca...

One thing about me is that I need a sweet treat every night. While I acknowledge that this is not the healthiest of traits, my sweet tooth cannot be tamed. Therefore, I found some of the most delicious and satisfying sweet treats that don't necessari...
I am a HUGE Trader Joe's fan. They have tons of great options for healthy snacks, but I particularly love their dairy-free mini ice cream cones. They are the perfect most decadent chocolately bites and my mouth is literally watering just writing this...

My mom and I love JOJO's. They are designed to actually tame sweet cravings without actually pumping your cells full of sugars that they cannot break down. I also really enjoy the fruits and nuts on top of the bark. Specifically, the dried cranberrie...

I also loveeee Chobani Flips. I think they are so versatile and can be so super delicious. If you have access to a freezer, I recommend mixing all of the inclusions in and freezing overnight! It can be an excellent DIY froyo that can come in so many ...

If you're craving something fruitier, I'd recommend dried mango spears! They last for a long time, are easily shareable, and are absoluteeeeely delicious. My roommates and I go feral for these, especially the Costco brand.

Crunchy + Salty
For the days when you're not craving sweet. These are the perfect smart swaps for chips and vending machine snacks, packed with flavor and a little extra nutrition. Great for study fuel, Netflix nights, or mindless munching!
These might be my favorite crackers of all time. They are perfectly salty with the greatest amount of crunch. I personally pair these with little cups of avocado mash, as the fresh avocado is the perfect opposite to the salty-tang of the crackers. Al...
Fine Ground Sea Salt Almond Flour Crackers
I could literally shovel SkinnyPop down my throat until the day I die. It is the perfecttttt dorm snack in so many ways. It tastes delicious, it's very shareable, and it can stay on the shelf for a very long time. I love how it is salty without being...

I loveeeeeee these cruchy chickpeas. The small packs are great to bring on the go if you're rushing to class! These can also be an excellent source of protein.

You also cannot go wrong with the classics. I think I might be one of the top-ten almond lovers of all time. I always keep salted and unsalted almonds on me, as I like having them as mix-ins for yogurt and such. Salted almonds are my favorite savory ...

My sister and I are the biggest Olipop fans. Every single flavor I've had is delicious while also being GUT HEALTHY. I cannot stress the importance of maintaining a healthy gut ESPECIALLY while being a full time student. These help me maintain that h...

I also cannot stress how important it is to remain hydrated. I try to drink at least 4 full Owalas of water every day (one gallon), but I also dislike the taste of water. Therefore, I always use crystal light packets, specifically, the zero-sugar ice...
Crystal Light Powdered Drink Mixes
I thought I'd also include my go-to Starbucks order! Everyone in my life knows that I am not the same human before I've had my coffee. If I'm not making it myself, I always order a venti Starbucks Iced Coffee with their Sugar Free Vanilla syrup and a...
Starbucks Iced Coffee with Sugar Free Vanilla and Oatmilk
My boyfriend put me on to this sparking water and it is THE BEST around. I love the taste of Waterloo, which I cannot say for every brand of sparking water. I also think this could be a good option to include in your girly little cocktails (I'm 21 I ...

Just to preface, THESE ARE NOT A HEALTH BEVERAGE! However, I think the Topo Chico Margaritas are a healthier twist on a fun drink! They have less sugar than typical margaritas, and are a lot more fun than your typical seltzers in my humble opinion.
