This collection of easy sandwiches and wraps for college students has a little something for everyone. College is a transition for both student and parents. I’m just a couple of years away from my oldest heading off to college. I sometimes think about some of the things I will worry about when he’s gone. One thing is how well he will eat. He’s pretty picky though I know not all kids are.
If your child lives off campus all of these sandwiches and wraps are easily doable in an apartment kitchen. Many schools now allow a mini fridge in dorm rooms and some even have common areas where you can microwave or even do minimal cooking. There are some sandwiches in this round up perfect for those students too.
Sending your child off to college you hope they eat well. Sure there' s a meal plan but sometimes they want something different. Here are easy options kids can make with little effort. Use leftover or store-bought rotisserie chicken to make this delicious chicken salad. Fully loaded with wonderful fresh vegetables, creamy avocado and savory turkey and bacon, these Lunchbox Easy California Wraps are the perfect solution to lunch! This chicken salad is ultra creamy, and the sauce has real pickle juice stirred right on in. Chunks of rotisserie chicken, diced crisp dill pickle pieces, and a mild garlicky tang from freshly sliced green onions. Enjoy the flavors in these Thai-style shrimp salad sandwiches. The shrimp salad only takes a few minutes to make and is so easy to toss together. This Bacon Ranch Egg Salad is just what the home chef ordered. It’s easy, needing only a few ingredients, tastes divine, and can be served multiple ways. Bacon makes everything better including this club sandwich. What I love about club sandwiches is the versatility. You can use any deli meats you like, turkey, ham, roast beef, salami and any cheese you fancy. Cook up frozen chicken strips to make this flavorful wrap for lunch or dinner. Kick up your egg salad! BLT Egg Salad Sandwich has bacon and tomato added to the egg salad for added delicious flavor. Sweet apples add a delicious crunch to this chicken salad. Perfect for a weekend lunch or to take to work. Tuna Bacon Salsa Wrap snugs flaky tuna, bacon bits and fresh salsa into a tasty wrap. Easy lunch or stand by dinner. Cranberry Chicken Salad has the sweet tang of roasted cranberries (substitute dried cranberries) combined with cranberry mustard, and hearty roasted chicken. Delicious on brioche buns for lunch. No grill needed. Easily substitute leftover or rotisserie chicken in this delicious wrap. Crisp garden vegetables, protein-rich hummus and cream cheese, and a savory bagel come together in a make-at-home version of a favorite bagel sandwich. Get creative and use your textbooks to press this delicious sandwich. Make in the morning and lunch is ready after class. A delicious vegan option that doesn't require cooking and only just 10 minutes of prep! It’s savory and perfect for sandwiches, or to eat with crackers. Fresh vegetables, olives, hummus and feta cheese make up this hearty Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich. Quick and simple to make, you can have lunch on the table in less than 10 minutes. Easy for lunch or a quick dinner. Serve with soup or chips to complete the meal.Easy Sandwiches and Wraps for College Students
