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

String cheese
things you can say while the europeans are asleep
Hahahaha didn’t even think about that!
Maybe I should’ve said a spoonful of peanut butter as well ;)
With its phallic shape string cheese is a deeply anti-feminist snack.
You should have a mango or orange instead.
What's anti-feminist about phallic shape? At that point wouldn't peach be the most feminist?
A peach is up there but something like a corndog or a sardine is just wrong.
Is it still anti-feminist if I string it myself without the help of a man?
What if I have a harem of men peel an orange for me?
Hmmm...I have things to think about....
Thank you for reminding me I still have a couple sticks I gotta use!
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?
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.
One roll is probably healthy. A bag of rolls is probably not. :)
My kids keep asking me to make bread again but I put away the bread machine for good reason. My health couldn’t afford it
That was always our weekend tradition: start the machine after dinner and settle in for a night of gaming, and have hot freshly made bread as a midnight snack. The problem is there was never anything left over from a loaf
I'm pretty sure that's just a function of fresh bread. lol.
My mom used to make quick Sally Lunn and hot chocolate on Christmas Eve. I always hated that because there was just one smallish loaf and it goes fast with three people, but I loved it because it was so good.
But it was part of a carb journey before I learned what carbs were that led me to a decade of unmanaged diabetes that's given me seven heart attacks, a below-knee emptuation, kidney failure leaving my on dialysis, and oh so much more "fun".
So yeah. I get it on bread. lol.
Also, not venting to you but since I'm here - the downvote on my comment above, which boils down to the general principle of "everything in moderation", just makes me roll (har har, didn't intend that pun but saw it soon as I typed it so leaving it) my eyes at lemmy. I need to find something that hides voting because it only pisses me off. lol.
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.
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.
Do you put a lid on it or just walk away?
That sounds like a perfect lazy meal for me, thanks for the tips.
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.
Green olives
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.
Walnuts. Can't gorge myself on them, even with them being very healthy they are highly caloric. It helps a small amount is pretty filling though.
Prunes, I also really like freeze dried strawberries and buy bags of that when they have them at costco
Health is relative, but it works for me: some black olives, sweet gherkins, pickled beet slices, a good cheese, and a few nice crackers. Nice variety. Not too bad on carbs or sodium if you're not too greedy.
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.
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.
