Five Ways to Sneak Nutrition Into Your Busy College Life

Drink Up

Drinking water is so beneficial to a healthy lifestyle, but also so easy to neglect. Try to drink water with every meal and bring a reusable bottle to class. Having a bottle with you all day will remind you to up your water intake.

Hit Up a Cub Stop

Conveniently located throughout campus, Cub Stops are mini-grocery stores that can help you sneak in nutrition on-the-go. Make your own yogurt parfait, or grab a piece of fruit or a Kind bar to hold you over between classes.

Change It Up

Do you eat the same breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day? Switch up your meal routine to get nutrients you may be missing by eating the usual. Try a new lunch spot on campus! You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the healthy choices.

Add Greens

Don’t panic! Adding a handful of spinach to a morning fruit smoothie may make it a funky green color, but I promise, it will still be fruity and sweet.

Make Your Plate Colorful

I’m sure you're sick of your parents telling you, but it’s true! No single food can supply your body with all it needs to function properly. Take a hint from Mom and make your plate colorful.

Be well, Auburn.
