For many students, busy schedules and tight budgets get in the way of a healthy, balanced diet. This is where the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Meal Kit Mondays come in.
When students walk into dining halls at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, devils and angels begin popping up on their shoulders as choices are laid out before them. Pizza or salad.
The last thing many college students want to do after a long day of classes and work is go home and cook a wholesome meal. As a result, students can resort to the typical college diet â ramen, mac and cheese and sometimes even just a couple of snacks. They might go about the activities they would much rather partake in, like watching TV or catching up on homework, ignoring the fact that the ramen they ate at 8 p.m. is surely not enough sustenance to keep them awake and able to write that paper late into the night. In an effort to create an economical way for the campus community to receive healthy meals, the Wellness Kitchen located in the Recreation and Wellness Center on East Campus provides a service called Meal Kit Monday. Every other Monday of the month, the Wellness Kitchen prepares four-serving meal kits with everything needed to cook a well-balanced meal in under an hour. Each meal kit costs 15 dollars.
