Ask Lemmy

Prunes, I also really like freeze dried strawberries and buy bags of that when they have them at costco

I am not employed by nor promoting this company, I've just been a loyal customer for 5 years: j i m my j o y d o t c o m has quick effortless convenient foods that provide 100% RDA of all nutrients in a rectangular bar that looks & tastes like rice crispy treats, and their powdered shakes. I live in USA but people who live in Europe get even more options like savory soups and more variety of flavors of bars & shakes. I'm particularly envious of their Speculoos flavor and cherry pie flavor and savory soups that aren't available in USA. And it's all VERY inexpensive.

Nuts.

Banana is hard to beat for convenience. I'd say a close second for me is either mixed nuts or sumo oranges

String cheese

Oats. We do a two-day oat diet a few times a year, with three meals a day consisting of 80g of oats and half a liter of tea or broth.

I make a big batch of tasty high-fiber granola and keep it in the freezer. Almost every day I have some with Greek yogurt and berries.

Whole jar of pickles? That's probably healthy, right?

Beans, rice, veggies. Put in frying pan, fill with water, turn to low simmer, walk away for 40-60 min. Until the water is gone, basically. I use ~140g dry beans, rice gets eyeballed depending on how hungry I am at the moment. Up to a quarter cup? Beans stay consistent due to soaking. Veggies are whatever I have on hand. I like to mix in leafy stuff after it's done though. That's about two meals, which will keep for a day, maybe two unrefrigerated. Flavor profile is muted and heavily seasoning dependent, so you can still have "variety" without having to plan ahead.

Cheese.

Bananas Rice Applesauce Toast

Bananas are good. I like yogurt as well when I have it. Lately in the convenience but not healthy is a single Hawaiian roll because they help with my stomach acid problem.

Bananas with peanut butter

Canned sardines are my quick go-to brunch if I’m too lazy to prepare anything. I’ll usually have leftover rice in the fridge. Then I can quickly cook an egg too.

Grapes 🤣

Green olives

Ka prao, green curry, tuna salad with bits of apple and pickle, skin on chicken in a dutch oven with a pan sauce. All of these take 10 minutes to an hour in the case of the dutch oven. I cook rice in a rice cooker consistantly so I always have some rice in the fridge I can add to whatever asian dish I'm currently in the mood to make. Those are pretty fast. Also, I'd highly recommend making large amounts of food and freezing the left overs in deli cups.

An Apple a day. For real.

Not too fancy, I know :)

Olives and carrots with hot sauce.

Coconut Water.

Chia seed “pudding”, but with water to make them expand. I’ll eat plain if particularly pressed for time. Usually I add granola or some maple syrup for flavor.
