How about stocking up on the frozen "steam in the bag" veggies (the ones without added sauces!)? Toss 'em in the microwave, push a few buttons, go on about your business until the microwave beeps, and then enjoy! Green beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, peas, corn, and different blends all conveniently available. Some of them even come in single serving sizes. That might be a convenient solution to not having the time to prepare fresh. Flash frozen veggies retain most of their nutritional value I've heard.

And even cheeper buy the Ziploc Steam and seal bags you can throw your fresh veggies in their and have them steamed and ready to eat in a few min.

I only enjoy so many veggies raw. Reminds me...I need to pick up some cucumbers.

I love hummus, perhaps a little too much. I'd go through a container moments after opening it.
A sushi joint I'm fond of recently introduced me to a sort of soy bean based hummus. Very light and great on raw veggies.

Ooh, is this the edamame hummus? I saw that in the store and was reluctant to try it in case I didn't like it. Maybe I'll give it a go.

Do you like those little tiny cukes? Those are so great for on the go snacking, cause you can just rinse them and throw them in a baggie. (but they won't help much with upping your calories) If you eat nuts, those are quick and high energy.
