Packing a Healthful College Trunk

August 10, 2004

As college students begin packing for school, parents should remember to include some healthy food options in their college-bound child’s trunk.

Packing healthy snacks and quick meals will definitely be appreciated and may encourage your child to eat well while away from mom’s kitchen.

Good options include:

• Cereal or granola bars
• Low-fat microwave popcorn
• Dried or canned fruit
• Nuts and seeds
• Cans of tuna, chicken or beans.

All of these foods can serve as snacks or provide the start of a quick meal, something that will definitely come in handy during late study nights.
