Eating healthy can be challenging as a busy college student. With long days full of classes, extracurriculars, homework, interning, and more, it seems like there’s no time to eat–let alone eat something healthy. Healthy eating seems to be associated with having the time to lay out a bunch of ingredients and make a meal from scratch. And, finding time to make a grocery list with everything you need, never mind going to the grocery store, can be a hassle when you already have a loaded schedule. 

Luckily, there are helpful services out there to help busy people like you and me eat nutritious foods quickly. Let me introduce you to Daily Harvest: a healthy and undeniably delicious food delivery subscription service! Eating healthy has never been easier than with Daily Harvest. 

how to get started

Simply go to their website and click get started! Choose which box you would like depending on how many items you want and start filling your box. You can choose from over 30 smoothies, flatbreads, soups, chia parfaits, oatmeals, and more! DH makes it super fun to fill your box with appealing pictures and helpful descriptions of each item. Trust me, it won’t be hard to find something that sounds good. 

Once your box is full, checkout and wait only a few days until your box is delivered right to your door. And, don’t worry, every box is filled with dry ice so your food will stay fresh for hours before you get it into the freezer. DH delivers every week but if you don’t quite have the budget to get a box every week, don’t sweat it. DH allows you to skip as many weeks in the future as you’d like with just a few clicks on your account. 

why you should try it

Daily Harvest’s food requires one-step-prep, meaning every item only requires one step before it’s ready to eat! This makes eating in general so much faster, yet you are still getting nutritious foods into your diet. Daily Harvest makes it so easy to eat that your microwave mac n cheese will take longer. 

Their food is organic, clean, and frozen to last longer. So no more throwing out food because it’s expired and you never had time to cook it. With Daily Harvest checking, expiration dates are not necessary. Your food will last in the freezer forever! 

Are you trying not to eat dairy as much? DH only carries dairy-free and gluten-free foods. Are you skeptical that DH food is packed with sugar or fillers to taste good? No more time needs to be spent looking at nutrition labels because DH has no gums, fillers, or artificial anything. On a budget? DH has boxes for as low as $40 that will last you a week. 

So, instead of eating at drive-thrus because it’s the quickest option or opting for a granola bar on your way to class that’s packed with artificial flavorings, added sugars, and fillers, eat one-step-prep meals from Daily Harvest! 

Your body and mind will thank you for it and you’ll come to realize that eating healthy doesn’t have to be tricky as a college student.

Hello! My name is Erin Barker and I'm studying Journalism with an emphasis in Public Relations at San Diego State University. I was born and raised in the Denver area and always knew I wanted to go out-of-state at a campus with warm weather! SDSU was my dream school so it was a no-brainer when I got in that I'd soon be packing my bags. You can find me at any beach tanning, eating all the Cacio e Pepe in Little Italy, or getting boba! When I'm not here in San Diego studying I'm back home visiting family and my three dachshunds in Colorado! I have a passion for my faith, fashion, traveling, building quality friendships, and putting family first. I'm so grateful to be part of the Her Campus community to have a space to write creatively!
