Notes -
What are the laziest healthy foods I can make. I'm fairly picky about what foods I like, but reasonably unpicky about what foods I'll tolerate. I don't have a clear concise way to list out all of them other than to say I have the palate of a five year old. Probably literally, I don't think my food preferences have changed substantially since I was a child other than an increased ability to tolerate foods I don't like.
I don't like cooking. I'm bad at it, it takes too long. I make simple things like soup or pizza, especially if I can make a bunch at once which increase the amount of food per effort, but foods which require less prep time are preferred. My go-to lazy healthy snack is raw vegetables. I will happily munch on whole tomatoes or baby carrots, which is just as easy as opening a bag of potato chips. But I need more variety, and something slightly fancier and slightly less lazy is acceptable. What are your thoughts and suggestions for maximizing health and taste per effort?
Spinach- you can buy spinach based salad mixes and snack on that the same as potato chips. Much less astringent than kale, much more nutritious than lettuce based. Speaking of which, dried fruits in small doses.
Frozen vegetables and ground beef with mashed potatoes on the top- easy cottage pie, makes multiple servings at once. Cook the ground beef in a pot, pour frozen veggies in and mix it well, then put mashed potatoes over the top and put the whole thing in the oven.
Oatmeal- literally cooks in the microwave or with a hot water kettle.
