Running late to your 8 a.m. college class? It happens to the best of us when our alarm doesn’t go off, your hair won’t cooperate, or the outfit you planned the night before suddenly looks terrible. What’s even worse is going to a lecture so early in the morning without food in your stomach. Here are some quick, easy ideas to make your late morning just a little bit better.
This is a quick option that takes one minute to make in the microwave and offers 12 grams of protein. This flavor, in particular, is cinnamon, but they offer a variety of flavors such as blueberry and chocolate. Pairing this with an apple or banana creates a balanced meal in the morning.
This option is for all my gluten-free friends who need something made with clean ingredients that will fill you up more than a protein bar. It comes in three flavors: blueberry, chocolate, and cinnamon. It serves as a great replacement for a sit-down breakfast.
If you want something nostalgic and sugary, Pop-Tarts are the way to go. With more than 20 flavors, there’s a variety to choose from depending on your mood. It will bring you back to your childhood while providing happiness on your walk to class.
Staying on the childhood train, GoGo squeeZ is perfect to keep in the mini refrigerator that comes in your dorm. It offers natural sugar to boost your energy and fills your stomach on the way to class. It is also super easy to eat.
Finally, another gluten-free option is from MadeGood, which offers a tasty treat while also keeping you full. There are three flavors available, and they can be found at Costco and Target. These are pre-packaged, making them perfect for long walks to class.
