This four microwaved recipes are a must have for any students going away for college. Easy and delicious, they are also healthier than the normal kinds of “microwaved” recipes like a sugar and carb loaded mug cake and mac and cheese. It also isn’t boring in terms of meal prep, like forcing only sweet potato or spaghetti squash upon you. All you need is a couple of microwavesafe bowls, access to microwave ovens, and you got yourself some healthy eating that won’t pack on the freshman fifteen.

These four microwaved meal recipes are the perfect breakfast, lunch, and dinner schedule, and the best thing is you can keep most of the ingredients on hand in the freezer. A savory turkey bacon and veggie frittata is healthy and will get you going in the morning. Up next a feta and spinach chicken meatloaf makes for an excellent alternating lunch and dinner dish. A chicken and quinoa bowl is great for a grab and go lunch or a simple whole grain packed dinner.

Microwaved salmon might seem a little strange, but if you’re careful not to overcook it, it can make for a fancy meal for a dorm “dinner party.” Keeping both pasta sauce and soy sauce on hand means you can dress it up any which way you like. All of these recipes store well too, so don’t be afraid to portion them out for your healthy meal prep. Way to get through college without adding on the pounds!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hey, I'm Kevin

My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and maintaining an active lifestyle.

By experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my meals on Tumblr, I learned healthy eating is not boring! By making a few adjustments to my favorite foods, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my wellness goals while satisfying my desire for BANGIN food! 😅 Now I try to help people around the world realize that same level of freedom in eating regardless of budget. Welcome, let's #DemocratizeWellness together!
