Healthy Dorm Room Snacks For College Babes
By Katrina Scott onDorm Room Snacks ~
Trail Mix
Trail mix is so easy to throw in your bag on your way to class! Make sure you're buying mixes without lots of 🍫 or added sugars...stick to dry roasted nuts and unsweetened dried fruit! We also love to make our own trail mix with 1/3 cup of nuts, unsweetened coconut shavings, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Pre-portion your mix into little Ziploc bags to grab and go!
Tone It Up Protein Bites
We made Tone It Up Protein Bites for babes just like you ~ busy, badass, and on the go! They deliver 9 grams of clean, energizing protein per serving and they're so delicious. Plus, they're individually wrapped ~ perfect to throw in your purse, gym bag, or school bag.
Apple and Peanut Butter
This sweet and savory combo guarantees long-lasting energy. The protein from peanut butter and the natural sugars from apple will balance your blood glucose levels to give you a mid-day energy boost!

Yogurt + Berries and Crumbled Tone It Up Protein Bar
If your dorm room has a mini fridge, this is the perfect protein-packed snack! We love to slice up a few strawberries and crumble a Tone It Up Protein bar on top of yogurt. You can choose between Greek yogurt (YQ by Yoplait is amazing!) or coconut or almond varieties. So easy and SO good! 😍
Veggies and Dip
This is another amazing snack full of body-loving antioxidants. Pick a few of your favorite veggies ~ we love mini bell peppers, tomatoes, and carrots cuz they're easiest for snacking. Dip 'em in hummus, guac, salsa or any of your fave dips. We have some easy recipes for you here.
Enjoy babe and always remember ~ you're brilliant you're going to take over the world!
