I put together this list of my "College Grocery Essentials" to just share with you the things I purchase from the grocery store on a regular basis - in hope that you too will find these essential to your college pantry.

Peanut Butter

I put peanut butter on everything.  It is great in the morning on toast or an English muffin.  The protein it  gives me is what really makes this a staple on my shopping list.  I also like to pair it with my next item for a tasty mid day snack....

Celery

My favorite healthy snack has to be peanut butter and celery.  There is just something about it.  Sometimes I add some craisins on top as well.

Steamfresh Couscous and Spinach

I found this on a shopping trip a few months ago and now I can't live without it.  You just pop it in the microwave and you have yummy, lemony, delicious couscous and spinach!  I pair it with a chicken breast for a great meal.

Kiwi

Whether it is for a snack or part of my breakfast - I love kiwis.  They are relatively cheap - and I usually find that purchasing the box of 6 is more affordable than purchasing them individually - so look out for that.

Campbell's Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup to Go

Last semester I had class from 8-2:50 so I had to pack a quick and easy lunch.  Honestly, I rarely made time for myself to make a real homemade lunch - so having a soup that I could just toss in my backpack was a must.  The Cheesy Chicken Tortilla flavor is SO FREAKIN' GOOD.  I can't even explain it.  It is just delicious.

Brown Rice and Sweet Potato Roasted Sweet Onion Triscuits

I am a Triscuit FANATIC.  I could eat an entire box in one day.  The brown rice Triscuits are fabulous.  Their texture is lighter and crispier than the original Triscuits, and all of the flavors are super intense.  

Quinoa

Quinoa is one of those foods that has been ALL OVER this year.  Everyone seems to be obsessed with quinoa - and I am no exception.  I love to make quinoa and black bean tacos.  I just boil them with some taco seasoning and then make tacos as usual!  I highly recommend adding quiona to your grocery list if you don't have it on there already.

V8 Fusion

I love the V8 Fusion juices. They have so many great flavors. I can't even pick a favorite.  Just try them. :)

I hope that you find a few new foods to add to your grocery list!  Let me know what your most repurchased food items are in the comments.

With love,
