1.5 scoops of choc protein powder
1 banana
1 cup of skim milk
blend and enjoy....
4 minutes or less!
Best!0 -
Eggs. You can fix them with nearly anything to meet your macro/micro and taste goals for that moment. Toast or no toast. Yolks or no yolks. Add meat, veggies, cheese, salsa, beans, sour cream, potatoes, herbs/spices (yep, I usually go Mexican, but I also love goat cheese in eggs with spinach or asparagus). Breakfast, lunch, dinner, it all works. It's endless.
I also always try to have lettuce on hand - if you've got any kind of protein, you can make a salad out of it.0 -
2 fried eggs, american cheese, and precooked bacon on scali bread.
Even quicker is one microwaved egg, cheese, and bacon on an english muffin.
I almost always have all that on hand.0 -
I always have a bag of frozen stir-fry veggies and some sort of precooked meat in the freezer (shrimp, chicken, beef). Straight from the freezer to a hot pan with a little bit of oil. Add a little bit of stir-fry sauce and serve over rice. Dinner in less than 15 minutes.
I also tend to always have frozen soup in the freezer. I make a large pot and freeze. Heat it up and another meal in less than 10 minutes.
In my house we also tend to have frozen pizza a few times a month. I workout with a friend after work a couple times a week and my husband isn't much of a cook. Not healthy, but I find a way to work it into my calories.0 -
Spinach
Avocado
Lemon/limes
bananas
Nuts& seeds
Can make a Green Smoothie,a :flowerforyou: Salad.. or a Snack0 -
I try to keep a bag of pre-washed and pre-cut rainbow chard in my fridge. I saute it in a little olive oil or coconut oil with garlic and purple onion. Once it's wilted and the stems are no longer crunchy, I add a can of organic pinto beans, and allow it to cook for about five minutes to meld the flavors. I top it with fresh chopped tomato and Cholula hot sauce. Sooooooo good. So easy.0

cheeseburger soup (takes less than 15 min) or buffalo chicken spaghetti squash (takes 15-20 min)0

Eggs cooked or fried. oven baked chicken breast and brown rice... This is food I always have at home although it can be very boring.0

I always keep fresh veggies and roasted chicken in my fridge. The chicken I roast myself though, I hate that pre-cooked, pre-packaged garbage. But the possibilities are endless. You can make a chicken curry (if you have the ingredients), a salad, a soup, a sandwich or just a whole meal and rice or quinoa in the cupboard cooks up really fast.
Tip: For cooking your quinoa, try using chicken broth (reduced sodium or sodium free), sauteed onions, thyme, parsley and basil (all fresh, not dried) and some garlic. Cook the quinoa in the broth first and then add it to the rest of the ingredients (sauteed just for a few minutes) - it's delish and packed full of protein and fibre.0 -
Since I started Paleo I cannot stop making this.... And it is quick for me. (under 10 minutes)
In a skillet:
-1/2 burger
-1/2 Chopped onion, 1/2 green pepper, 1/2 chilli pepper, whatever else sounds good.
-Seasoned with "Slap ya Mama" and garlic.
-2 fried eggs over easy and placed on top of the skillet.0 -

I have bags of rice/grain/quinoa mixed grains in the freezer, and always onion, mushrooms on hand. Whatever other vegetables determine whether I use the ponzu sauce or the spaghetti sauce. I like that it's a little different every time.
Any kind of meat can go into either pan if you want to add meat.
Example: Cabbage (or bok choy), carrots, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower = ponzu or soy sauce
or: onion, mushrooms, zucchini, spinach (or chard) = spaghetti or tomato sauce0 -
Oats with a dash of salt and cinnamon, chopped apple or mashed banana, and a bit of peanut butter stirred in. I eat oatmeal nearly every morning, lol.0

Smashed avocado on toast with a pinch of sea salt. YUM!0

banana. I usually share it with my dogs.
