Dorm Food=Pain to the Heart

Dear Bloggers,
   I have been struggling with fresh food and obtaining good quality while being trapped in this so called "home" I live in on campus. A dorm, where we are expected to consume the highly processed, unhealhy options that the cafeteria provides us with. Along this journey, I have to come find the challenge to be one that might even be impossible. When you have a microwave and a refrigerator, one where the freezer does not work, having fresh food available is quite a struggle. So, I recently adapted a wonderful, delicious snack that is packed with protein and a heavy pack of monounsaturated fats. You guessed it! I bought some  brown rice cakes from Trader Joe's, along with roasted almond butter, and honey. I put them all together and was basically floating on cloud nine. Putting it to my lips, and tasting it in my mouth, I could've sworn I was eating a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. But I wasn't!

I came to find that I was exceptionally pleased, because after eating two, I legitimately felt like I had eaten something with substantial value and was satisfied. Had I have eaten a reeses peanut butter cup, I would've eaten most likely, 10. As we can see in this picture, back when I used to eat sugar, I thoroughly enjoyed processed sugars. However, the feeling of satisfaction that real food brings, just makes me so happy inside. I don't think I'll ever turn back to eating processed sugars again. It's easy to make this snack, so give a shot and let me know, if it satisfies that craving of sugar. Until next time, stay healthy and happy cooking!
