8 Dorm Room Food Necessities

Hello Veggie Lovers!
Whether you're craving a midnight snack and the dining commons is closed or want a quick and easy food option for when you're in a rush, having healthy vegetarian foods stored in your dorm is a must. Here are the 8 essential foods that I have found necessary to store in your dorm!

1. Leftovers - If you go out one night and have left over food make sure to take it back to your dorm. The next day you'll be thankful you did. 
2. Ramen - Even though Ramen is not the healthiest food, it is still something I recommend to keep in especially if you need something quick. To make the Ramen a little more interesting, try using this vegetarian ramen recipe!
3. Peanut butter - Keeping peanut butter in your dorm is essential since it has a high percentage of protein and of course, since it's delicious!
4. Protein bars - These contain a high amount of protein and are also an easy breakfast if you're in a rush.
5. Fruit - I have found that if I keep fruit in, that I am more likely to snack on fruit than something unhealthy so, having fruit in is good for a healthy snack or even to put on top of oatmeal for breakfast.
6. Oats - Oatmeal is a quick and nutritious breakfast that is easy to make in a dorm. If you have a microwave, then you can have breakfast in about 2 minutes! Also, you can top with brown sugar or fruit for more flavor!
7. Veggies and Hummus - This is definitely a favorite for me since I love the taste and it is a very nutritious snack.
8. Organic Chips and Cookies - For when you have cravings for a midnight snack or just want something to snack on, having organic chips and cookies is a good option since they are at least a little healthier than the original.
