Saving money while you’re a university student is important and one way to do that is to bring your own snacks to campus. This way you aren’t using your hard earned money to buy overpriced food and can better invest your cash someplace else. Here are some of the best snacks to bring to campus that’ll fill you up and keep you from spending!
Liquid breakfast
A liquid breakfast drink can in some ways become a lifesaver. Whether this be a smoothie you made at home and brought in a travel cup or something like a shake similar to an up and go this liquid breakfast is a great way to begin your day. It’s a great snack for those 8 am lectures when you need to fuel yourself for the day ahead but don’t want to make a mess in the lecture theatre. They are convenient to consume and you can buy them in bulk.
Another great snack to bring to campus is a packet of chips. You can opt for a healthy option or something a little less nutritious, that’s completely up to you and how you feel on the day. Chips can be filling and satisfying and for this reason, are a great option to bring to campus. They can be loud to eat but this encourages you to find a quiet place to relax and snack before you get back into the business of things and we can all use those simple reminders during our day.
Muesli bars
These are a fan favourite. Muesli bars are a great snack to bring to campus because they are light and easy to carry and also provide you with a great deal of nutritional value in a small, quick and easy to eat bar. They are also quite tasty and can satisfy your sweet tooth so you don’t feel tempted to spend your money on a cake or muffin from a campus cafe.
Two-minute noodles
The staple University student diet, a delicious cup of two-minute noodles. You’ll find that most university campuses have some amenities available for you to use either before or between your classes for that day. This can include a kettle and in some cases a microwave. When you learn when you find these things you can simply throw a cup of two-minute noodles in your bag and use the available hot water to prepare them. There is no mess or preparation required and you’ll feel full. This is especially a great snack to bring to campus in the colder months as the hot noodles will warm you right up!
Fruit
Fruit is a great snack to bring to campus because they are really useful brain food. There is nothing worse than feeling lethargic and worn out only half way through your university day, especially around exam and assignment season. Fruit like strawberries, bananas and apples are easy to carry with you and snack on even in class! Because of natural sugars and vitamins, they can give you the boost you need to keep on studying when all you want to do is sleep. We could all use some more fruit in our diet as university students!
Left-overs
Perhaps the greatest snack to bring to campus are leftovers from dinner the night before. These make for hearty meals and can be either eaten cold or heated up using the microwaves available on campus. Both filling and a rewarding snack to eat on your lunch break, there is nothing better than Chinese takeaway or a few slices of pizza to fill you up before you sit down to write more of your assignments. This also ensures you aren’t wasting any food at home and aren’t spending any money that you don’t need to!
