Looking for Healthy, Easy Recipes for College Life

Hey everyone! I am heading to college soon and am planning to cook most of my meals due to dietary restrictions. Does anyone have suggestions on the easiest WW (weight watchers) recipes that can be made in a dormitory? Thanks!

Absolutely! There are a number of simple, healthy, and delicious recipes within the Weight Watchers (WW) program that you can prepare even with limited dormitory facilities. Here are a few inspiration ideas.

1. Black Bean & Corn Salad: All you need for this is a can of black beans, a can of corn, chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice. It's zero points, and it can be eaten cold or heated up, plus it should keep well in a dorm fridge.

2. Oatmeal with Fresh Fruit: A filling breakfast to kickstart your day and it only uses a handful of ingredients! Just cook your oats, using water or low-fat milk, and add your choice of fruit, such as bananas, strawberries, or blueberries.

3. Egg Scramble: Using a microwave to cook eggs is a really simple and quick way to make a tasty and diet-friendly meal. Mix together one or two eggs with a small amount of low-fat milk, pour into a microwave-safe mug, add some chopped veggies and a small portion of low-fat cheese, and microwave on high for a minute or two.

4. Greek Yogurt Parfait: Layer plain Greek yogurt, honey, low-fat granola and fresh fruits in a cup. Effortless to prepare and is a great snack which is both protein-rich and satisfying.

5. Tuna Salad: With canned tuna, you can make a simple salad using chopped celery, bell peppers, a small amount of light mayo, and spices. Add it to a wrap or eat it straight from the bowl.

6. Veggie wrap: A whole grain tortilla, lots of veggies (like sliced tomatoes, spinach, avocado, cucumber, bell peppers), and some hummus or light cream cheese make for a delicious and filling snack or meal.

Remember to keep track of the points based on the WW program, as their totals will depend on the exact quantities and brands that you use. Happy cooking!
