Going to college is hardly stress-free, particularly if the college guy or gal got used to snacking on delicious goodies back home. Moreover, a college student does not have enough funds to alot for good, healthy food.

Let’s face it; cafeteria food does take its toll on someone who needs the energy to study, attend club meetings and concentrate on preparing for a good future. Read on to find out what gifts you can give your college foodie to warm his or her food-loving heart…

1. Flavoring for Instant Desserts

Sweet treats are a complement to just about any good meal. Flavorings for shaved ice are great for those times when your college foodie craves dessert but doesn’t have enough budget to afford one. If you can find some “flavored spoons” that are covered in chocolate and other flavors may also enhance the taste of regular instant coffee.

Check out this Hawaiian Shaved Ice Syrup – 3 Flavor Fun Pack for inspiration

2. Delicious Low Fat Desserts

The stress of studying (cramming) for an exam may just tip the scales for your college guy or gal. College is the perfect time to diet, with not much necessities to spend on and not much money to spend! However, things could get tricky during the night when energy is low and a burst of sugar is needed. During this time, your college foodie will feel the need to munch on anything that will satisfy his body’s sugar cravings.

Make it easier for him or her to stick to a diet plan by giving him a pack or two of thinkThin™ Chunky Peanut Butter, 2.1 Ounce Bar (Pack of 10). Whoever said dieting has to be free of old dessert favorites surely hasn’t tasted these goodies yet!

3. Food Containers

Effective food storage is a must in a crowded dorm room where anyone can snag few pieces of precious snack food if you’re not looking. If your college foodie is the sharing type, make it easier for him to share some of his food and keep the rest stashed away by giving him food containers that contain several storage pieces.

One food container option you can try is Rubbermaid 7J98 Easy Find Lid 24-Piece Food Storage Containers.
