10 Essential Food Tips For Anyone Struggling Without A Meal Plan

To all the college students living on their own for the first time and didn't pay enough attention when their parents tried to teach them to cook. This one's for you.

1. Breakfast Bars

Giphy

Invest in a LARGE Costco pack. They're great for breakfast on the go, or a quick burst of energy to hold you between lunch and dinner.

2. Chunky Soup

Giphy

Normal chicken noodle or ramen leaves me hungry again in less than an hour. Instead, pick out heartier soups which are more filling and include vegetables in their brews.

3. Cheap Acai Bowls

Giphy

If you're on a budget but are still craving acai, skip the chic instagramable vegan cafe and take a walk over to you're local bodega. If they have a smoothie station, they'll probably be able to make you a cheaper, but still very filling, acai bowl.

4. Pre-made Rice Packets

Giphy

Buying single servings of pre-made rice are amazing for making quick dinners! I get the one's that come with quinoa mixed it.

5. Bring Your Soda

Giphy

On campus, a bottle of soda can cost anywhere from $2- $3. You can purchase a 12 pack at CVS for around $5. Do the math!

6. Reusable Water Bottles

Giphy

Not only is this purchase good for the environment but it also saves a ton of money. Plus there are typically filtered water filling stations all over campus.

7. Egg

Giphy

Boring but so versatile. You can make so many dishes with egg for breakfast, lunch or dinner and a dozen cost about $4.

8. Pasta

Giphy

Pasta is sooooooooooooo cheap. You can get a box for around $3 and it makes an entire week's worth of lunches.

9. Nutella

Giphy

Nutella is my happy food, sad food, celebration food and comfort food. It's just a must.

10. Spinach 

Giphy

Ewwwww vegetables, but lets be honest, we kinda need these nutrients. What I like about spinach is you can add it to almost any hot meal and it works. Throw it in you're pasta, sandwich, omelet or whatever to add some heath to your diet. I mean if it's good enough for Popeye it can't be all bad.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
