Being in college can be challenging — all the exams, the stress, the focus solely on school and not on your next meal.

Here are two simple breakfast-on-the-go ideas that won’t require too much thinking or too much prep time, so you can focus mainly on school.

(Or, if you’re out of school and in a mad dash to make the morning commute, these recipes will be great for you, too!)

Both recipes are from my book Kitchenability 101: The College Student’s Guide to Easy, Healthy, and Delicious Food.

 

Miss You, Mom Oatmeal

This is an easy recipe that requires little effort. It can be made in a microwave and can be stored in a thermos for on the go!

• 1 packet of low-sugar instant oatmeal

• 1/4 cup seasonal fruit of your choice

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

 

1. Pour oatmeal in a bowl and prepare according to package instructions

2. Slice fruit

3. Put a plate on top on the bowl to help keep oatmeal hot and to help marinate the oatmeal and fruit together

4. Sprinkle with cinnamon

5. Place in a thermos or bowl and you’re ready to go!

Both of these dishes will help you get a running start to your first class in the morning! Do you have any other favorite fast-and-easy breakfast on the go recipes?
