Go Organic on the Go

From Berkeley Student Food Cooperative to the fining dining of Chez Panisse, Berkeley has been the heat of the organic and sustainable food movement. And, the city and the University have done a lot to make sustainable and organic food available to student community. If you can't hit up the dining hall or Farmers Market, make sure that your on-the-go eating habits are healthy. Here are a few suggestions:

Nature's Path Oatmeal  are ideal for hurried weekday mornings, this sweet, organic oatmeal fits the bill. We like the Flax flavor with a spoonful of peanut butter and a splash of half-and-half.

Annie Chun's Soup Bowls  has lots of different Asian-inspired flavors (including the yummy Teriyaki), in a biodegradable bowl. 

Koyo Ramen will make you say goodbye to your old Ramen habit.  Made from tasty organic, heirloom wheat noodles.  

Annie's Homegrown Mac 'n Cheese is an organic update on an dorm classic: pasta with real cheddar makes for better feasting..

Moosewood Restaurant Frozen Entrees are great frozen entrees from the folks (Berkeley resident Mollie Katzen) behind the Moosewood Cookbook series. 

Clif Bar has endless options so you can never go wrong with Clif Bar. Their fruit leather snacks will give you a daily dose of vitamins. The Pro-Shop Cafe sells a variety. 

Newman's Own Popcorn is a great late-night snack and an awesome alternative to the old stuff.
