Eating right in college can get put on the back burner, especially after the semester heats up. Here are 6 quick and easy lunch ideas for the busy college student.

1. Hummus and vegetables

Such a simple yet filling lunch. Not only can hummus help lower your cholesterol, it is a great way to get your daily serving of vegetables in.

2. Greek yogurt parfaits

This lunch idea is great if you are looking for something light for lunch. It is convenient to bring to class since all you need is one container.


3. Peach, avocado, and chicken salad with poppy seed dressing

This recipe is a wonderful way to trick yourself into eating a salad. While it may take a little longer to prepare than the other examples, it definitely makes up for it in taste.


4. Overnight oatmeal with chia seeds


Overnight oatmeal is a great meal for rushed mornings. Chia seeds are a great source of fiber and Omega-3. Since you prepare it the night before, all you have to do is grab it and go.


5. California turkey club wrap

If you’re looking for something a little more substantial to last you through the day, look no further. This great recipe can be modified to use any sandwich meat and fillings you like.

6. Turkey and avocado sandwich


Avocados are a good source of healthy fats our bodies need.

When paired with protein, such as turkey, it makes a quick, yet delicious

sandwich.
