24 Hours of Healthy Student Cooking (Cheap and Realistic)

I wanna take you through an entire day of cooking and eating from the perspective of a broke college student who is trying to stay healthy. I'm documenting all my meals trying to focus on maximizing nutritional value while still keeping the dishes cheap, easy and fun. I made sure all recipes take less than 30 minutes to complete, they're nutritionally balanced, and they're approachable as a college student.

Thank you for watching my videos! If you enjoyed please consider supporting me by subscribing and clicking the bell.

I'm not a college student anymore, but as a mother of a toddler I am here for the "30 min or less" part 🤣

"I"m adding cinnamon to add the taste of cinnamon"
"Cook this chicken until it is cooked"

this is EXACTLY how a college student cooks

0:48 shows you were at 4.6k subs in February. Quite the glow-up my man. Well deserved, this all looked super good.

Not a student but I have never been to a store / farmers market where you can grab 1 egg, teaspoon of herbs etc. I would appreciate the realism here that you purchase the ingerdients like a student would, so essentially, planning a grocery list and then making it from there. That's where the true savings come from. I remember when I was a student the savings also came from what I could freeze or make in bulk, essentially cooking for 4 but freezing the 3 other meals for later use.

Found this from Instagram, everyone was a butt, but this is amazing! Truly low effort (not no effort which no one seems to know the difference) healthy, and low cost. More please!

i like cooking and i like tasty food. but due to my health and mental problems i hadn't cooked in a while and ate just whatever i could. your videos are really inspiring me to cook smth from them! they look pretty easy and won't take much time. I'm really thankful for motivation!

[humaira]

I love that you have natural light and don’t use studio lights. Just makes it look more realistic and genuine ❤️ ps. Love the recipes 😊

[kum]

i appreciate the note in the intro addressing how you define healthy

[strawberrymilk]

I love your simple yet healthy recipes! 😊 This motivates me to learn how to cook 💛

[Mar-txug]

I am not a university student, however I have a hard time deciding what to eat or have for breakfast, this is definitely a great help! 💗

[BudderChezMC]

I tried the wrap and it turned out delicious! Thank you for the recipe!

[ktewhbv]

I love your simple yet healthy recipes! This motivates me to learn how to cook

[givani]

Love these meals! I'm studying in the Netherlands and we eat with at least 5 people everyday so our meals are more family style (like every type of food you can imagine) but these are nice for when you eat on your own!

[williamtoscano]

It’s hard for me to remember you are a college student. You’ve been teaching us so much it’s easy to think you’re older than you are. I mean it as the highest compliment. Keep it up!

[crazydaisies]

Just wanted to say I made the wrap and the tofu noods (but used tiny lil chicken thigh pieces instead) multiple times so far and they were both VERY good. I used to get those expensive meal kits, but for why?! I'm going to keep actually cooking. Thanks for the recipes, keep making videos please 🙏

[pariluvspookiebears]

this was probably one of the most realistic and easiest videos ever, thank you so much!!
