• 1-2 boxes of breakfast cereal
    • Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds
    • Kroger brand Lucky Charms
    • Cinnamon Chex (tastes exactly like Taco Bell cinnamon twists!)
    • Honey Nut Cheerios (also Kroger brand...I'm all about cheap)
  • 2% Milk
  • Fresh fruit
    • I usually get "baby oranges" -clementines, mandarins, tangerines
  • Drink
    • Recently I'm in love with Sierra Mist Natural- no high-fructose.
    • Juicy Juice (especially if I don't get fruit)
    • Hot chocolate mix
  • Snacks for the studio
    • Granola-type bars
    • Pita chips
  • Dinner option 1:
    • 99 cent microwave dinners (Mac and cheese, pot pies, rice and veggies)
    • Lean Cuisine or Healthy choice microwave dinners (healthier, more options, includes tiny pizza)
    • Canned soup for variety
  • Dinner option 2:
    • Beef ramen
    • Add-ins for the ramen. Current favorite is to make up a batch of black bean salsa and add it to the noodles with sour cream.
  • Dessert
    • Ice cream
    • Chocolate candy
    • Sour gummy worms!

So is this healthy? Not particularly, but it's all quick food, and I can usually pull off the basics of this list every week for under $25. Especially if I skip the dessert.
