So, it is no secret that us college students live on a budget. As a matter of fact, we kind of depend on a budget to get through college. Many of us work part time jobs, full time jobs, or maybe no job at all. As broke as one may be, we still gotta' eat. Throughout my years of living on campus I developed several snacks that definitely got me through some deep hunger struggles. Even if you are not on a budget these snacks are super yum and easy to make while living on campus!
This is a very simple midnight snack. I enjoy this late at night while I am studying or reading or just in the mood for something light. All you need are strawberries and any chocolate or hazel nut spread. The spread that I used is an organic hazel nut spread from a neighborhood organic market called Sprouts. The strawberries are also from Sprouts.
I will admit, this "snack" is totally Mexican. Also, it is not even a snack, it's actual food. It definitely satisfies my Hispanic self. This is a tostada, and as I mentioned before, it is a Mexican dish. You can get everything from Wal-mart, and if you live in Texas you can also find everything at H.E.B or any other neighborhood market near your school. The ingredients are:
1.) Tostadas
2.) Beans (refried)
3.) Cheese (any kind you prefer)
4.) Sour cream or "crema"
5.) Chicken (The chicken is optional, my friend's mom was kind enough to make us some to make these bomb tostadas, if you really want chicken but don't have any way to cook it, you can always get the one that is already cooked from wal-mart and just shred it up and add it on the tostadas!)
These are my two top college food/snacks. One is simple and the other one not so much but they are what I enjoy as a college student and it definitely meets my budget standards. With less than $10 you can create these snacks. There so many things you can create while living on campus and being on a budget you just have to explore and know what you like to eat. Get creative! :)
