It’s that wonderful time of year again, no not Christmas! I’m talking about college/school starting soon. It’s a fun, but stressful time in one’s life. Balancing schoolwork, homework, outside activities/hobbies/work can be really tough. Eating healthy and nutritious meals can arguably be the toughest during all the craziness and busyness.
Many college kids fall into the “convenience food” pit that forces them to choose unhealthy fast food options over nutrient-dense home cooked meals. Student’s with dietary restrictions have it even harder!
To make college student’s lives a bit easier, we’ve gathered a healthy breakfast roundup of over 50 recipes that are BOTH gluten-free, vegan and all delicious!

So many delicious ideas! :D! Can’t wait to try em’ out! (Figuring out what to start with is going to be hard!)
What wonderful breakfast options! These really look lovely and yummy. I absolutely didn’t make anything like this when I was in college :-)!!! You girls are rockin’ it!
Even though I’m not in college, maybe I should collect these and make them all week long. Breakfast for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!!?
Love everything about this list!! Where should I begin?? I’m pretty sure I’ve got breakfast covered for the rest of the year now. 😉 Thanks so much for including my almond butter coconut bites! Sharing soon. 🙂
