3 Easy snacks made in your dorm

By Annalee Flaherty at Loyola University Maryland

Fight the freshman fifteen and substitute ice cream for frozen fruit and yogurt, or an apple granola sandwich tower, and cheat day with a toasted personal pizza.

Grab some extra English muffins and turn them into personal pizzas. Frozen fruit can be a healthy snack to munch on, but give it some flavor by adding some yogurt for more substance and calcium. Don't forget about your fruit intake, and spice up the traditional apple and peanut butter with stacked granola and honey in between. 

These dorm snacks are just a few ways to be inventive when it comes to college food, there are always ways to find what you like, even in a new environment
