Having trouble preparing snacks to bring to school due to limited time, ingredients, and know-how? Don’t worry because these easy-to-make to-go recipes can make your school days a little more complete!

1) Grilled Sandwich

This classic snack is a famous easy-to-make recipe among students who don’t have a lot of time to prepare. Taking only about 5-10 minutes, preparing grilled sandwiches is quick. Just put your desired spread on the bread and grill it on a pan or toast it in the oven! What’s fun about it is that you can use a variety of fillings, such as butter and sugar, cheese, bacon and eggs, and a whole lot more!

2) Caesar Salad

If you’re up for a healthier snack, salads are the way to go! It’s easy, convenient, and healthy. Just toss together different kinds of lettuce, cheese and mayonnaise, sprinkle it with lemon juice, and you’ve got yourself a salad! By the way, it may sound like it’s named after a Roman Emperor, but it’s not. It was actually invented in Mexico by an Italian restaurateur, Caesar Cardini, in his own restaurant named Caesar’s, at the Hotel Caesar, when a Fourth of July rush in 1924 decreased the kitchen’s supplies. Hmm, delicioso!

3) Mac N’ Cheese

If you’re craving something heavy and cheesy, try the all-time favorite Mac N’ Cheese. It’s so easy, it only needs three ingredients to make: macaroni, milk, and cheese. Just bring the milk to a boil for 2 minutes, add the pasta and simmer until it’s cooked, top it with cheese, and it’s done! It’s definitely one tasty comfort food.

4) Crackerwiches

Who would've thought something as simple as crackers can be turned into sandwiches? With just crackers and your own choice of different fillings, this recipe can be made by putting together as many varieties as you like. Your crackers won’t be eaten plainly anymore.

10) Nutella Egg Cream

Before we head into the last recipe, here's a little trivia about it. Though it is called Nutella egg cream, but it doesn't contain both eggs nor cream. They say the name has no legitimate origin, and as time passed by, it was then commonly accepted that the "egg" from the name came from the German word Echt, meaning "genuine" or "real", and for them, this was "good cream". Different from the first four snacks mentioned, this recipe is perfect for someone who has a sweet tooth. Just mix 2 tablespoons of Nutella and ¾ cup of milk in a glass, stir, and pour in cold water. You could never go wrong with sweets!

There you have it - easy-to-prepare snacks with only a few, simple ingredients. It doesn’t take a chef to prepare simple, yummy, healthy snacks!
