Thank you! It’s definitely a creative way protein powder can be used, not just for protein shakes! :) I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more recipes like this!

It’s used as a substitute in the recipe, while also providing nutritional benefits.

The recommended daily intake of protein for healthy adults is 0.75 grams of protein/kilogram of body weight, which is about 45 to 56 grams of protein a day. (source: webmd)

Using protein powder for the recipe helps make sure college students are getting the protein they need everyday, especially if they are exercising regularly. :)

Thank you! Some of these dishes do not have an accurate calorie count, although all the recipes posted here feature fresh ingredients and minimize the use of processed food whenever possible. :)

1 serving 

prep & cook time: 5 minutes

• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup low-fat milk
• 2 slices whole grain bread
• 1-2 slices cheese

1. In a dinner plate (flat but with a little raised rim), beat the egg and milk, and a little salt and pepper if desired.
2. Soak the bread in the egg/milk mixture.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet to about medium heat.
4. Lift the bread carefully out of the plate (it will break easily!) and place both slices side by side in the skillet. Cook until golden, turning once.
5. Sandwich the cheese between the hot bread as soon as you take the bread out of the pan. It will melt deliciously.

What a great way to start your day.

An easy, healthy, and cheap snack. SMART.

Craving something salty? Satisfy your cravings without the bloat by enjoying pretzels instead of fries. SMART.

Frozen Banana Bites

• 2 large bananas
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
• Unsweetened coconut flakes

1. Set out a large plate or bowl with a piece of parchment or wax paper on it.
2. Cut up the bananas into good-sized chunks. Each banana should give you around 5 to 6 pieces.
3. Heat the peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave on high for about a minute. Then stir until smooth.
4. Dip the banana pieces in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Lay them out leaving some space between them on the parchment/wax paper. Then when you’ve “covered” them all, use the remaining mixture to spoon over the tops (for even more chocolate-y goodness).
5. Then sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes on top. Transfer to the freezer for about an hour until hardened (or over night).

worth a shot!

In this edition of Recipe Remix, the college food staple “Ramen” gets a makeover.

Why eat normal when you can eat flavorful?

Plus, the beef and broccoli adds taste, protein, and nutrients you need.

Best of all, it’s college student budget friendly!
