Use that fancy college brain to make your meal plan work for you.

Soft-serve ice cream, meet cereal bar.
This particular high-low combo is olive oil (it's really good on ice cream, trust) and Rice Krispies. Could also imagine Cocoa Puffs doing something very special here.

Mash up the insides with a fork, mix in cheese and anything else you like from the salad bar (scallions, bacon bits, etc.), and microwave for a minute to help everything meld.
