Simply scrub the potato, cut it lengthwise into slices that are 1⁄3 to ¼-inch thick, throw those in the toaster and top them like you would a slice of bread. If you’re really feeling adventurous, make your toast on a sweet potato instead. For some less mainstream combos, try brie or another type of cheese with honey or jam. Try making some classic combos - avocado toast and peanut butter and banana toast never get old for us. Maybe it’s overhyped on social media, and maybe you end up paying way too much for it at trendy cafes, but the power of toast can never be underestimated because there are so many possibilities. If you really feel like eating but aren’t even hungry, we recommend opting for a piece of fruit or a serving of veggies, something relatively low-calorie that won’t fill you up. This is where snacks such as trail mix, dried fruit and protein bars come in.

Maybe you don’t have the time to put two separate things together, and you just need something you can grab a handful of. Even if these classic combos seem almost too intuitive, it’s always good to remind ourselves of them so that we remember that we don’t always need to find the most innovative snack. There’s a reason things such as carrots and hummus, apples and peanut butter, cheese and crackers, chips and salsa, and yogurt and granola have become quintessential snack combos: They’re so easy to put together. Because of this, we decided to compile this list of ideas for easy and healthy snacks to eat between your online classes. And the times when we are hungry always seem to be exactly when we don’t have enough time to get a snack together. The main thing we’ve noticed is that we’re trading out that speed walk across campus in between classes for a lap around the house or apartment that somehow always seems to land us in the kitchen - even if we’re not at all hungry. We’ve all heard and read the endless loop of “This is a semester like no other.” Now that we’ve made it through the first couple of days of classes, we at the Clog are slowly starting to adjust to the pattern of online classes.
