Dorm Delectable- Nutella Day!


Can health nuts also be nuts for Nutella? Say that 5 times fast. And then answer "yes." I love being healthy as much as the next person, but sometimes you just need to indulge. And this is one of those times; Happy World Nutella Day!

And in honor of this fabulous holiday, I'm putting forth some ideas for using Nutella in the dorm room.

Gooey Nutella-Jam Toast
1 slice whole wheat toast
1 Tbsp Nutella
1 Tbsp strawberry jam


Spread Nutella on toasted bread, then top with jam. Put in microwave for 10-15 seconds or until Nutella is warm and melting. I have to admit, I like this one before morning runs sometimes. It's decadant, but little =)

Tangerine Nutella Smoothie
1/4 cup of vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 packet Crystal Light On-the-Go; Orange juice flavor
1 Tbsp Nutella
1/2 packet diet hot cocoa
1 tangerine, separated into sections
1 packet Hazelnut Splenda

Combine everything in a blender. Break up the little tangerine sections if you can, so the pulp isn't quite so pulpy. The hazelnut Splenda adds lots of sweetness and flavor, so although it seems like a cut-out-able (<-- haha) ingredient, I definitely recommend using it!

Tropical Nutella Dessert Wrap
1 whole wheat wrap
1/2 banana, sliced
1 Tbsp Nutella
2 Tbsp instant coconut pudding, prepared


Spread Nutella in middle of wrap. Top with prepared pudding and banana slices. Wrap it up and enjoy!
If you use 8-inch wraps, this dessert is little, fun and just right.
