Bonus points for healthy/low carb. Omivore, vegetarian, vegan, I eat all the things but my autistic ass is very low on spoons. I'm a good cook but even the thought of cooking instant ramen sounds daunting sometimes.

Easy things I've incorporated are protein shakes with coffee, flax milk and chia seeds during the morning. Keeps me good til 1pm or so since breakfast grosses me out during the weekdays and it takes like 2 minutes to prepare

Also wraps. Throw a protein on, condiments or a sauce like pesto or something, rip up some lettuce with your BARE HANDS, and that's it. Or if you're feeling fancy, slice up some cheese/veggies. Less than 5 minutes with minimal clean up, just a cutting board knife, plate and maybe a spoon or butter knife. Sometimes if I'm not cutting much ill just do it carefully in my hands or on my plate to avoid washing the cutting board

    Arroz congri lazy edition:

    • 1 cup dry rice
    • 1 can black beans

    Get the rice going in a pot the usual way for your specific rice, once it’s done just warm up the can of beans in there for maybe 5-10 minutes and season to taste. I like putting Tony Chachere’s in it, but anything works. Recently I’ve seasoned it with some oregano, dash of cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, nutritional yeast, and red pepper. There was a period in ‘21 when I was only able to afford 1 meal a day and this was usually it

    You can spruce it up if you have the energy by pan frying a bag of frozen peppers and onions and adding that at the end, or even adding some tofu if you want extra protein. It’s traditionally made with steak but we don’t eat animals in this house
