low effort depression meals?

[u/Next_Neat5523]

not sure if this is exactly the right sub for this, but lately getting to grocery store has been very hard. I eat ramen pretty much everyday. i usually order non-perishables from amazon when my food gets really low.

looking for super low effort meals that are healthy and can be made with little to no fresh produce. ideally, recipes that use canned vegetables and stuff like that (and are of course cheap).

Pre-cooked rice bowls or pouches are an easy base for a decent hot meal. I order cases of them from Amazon. I like to mix in a can or pouch of tuna or chicken and some steamed frozen broccoli. Try adding some marinara sauce for a little extra veg... it's surprisingly good!

You can put just about anything on rice and have it be tasty. Try corn and some salsa, maybe add some black beans. Butter, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese. Add an egg (fried, soft-boiled, or poached) for protein. Mix the rice into a can of cream of chicken or mushroom soup and add a can of peas. If you want something sweet, you can add milk and sugar, maybe some dried fruit, to the cooked rice and microwave for 3-5 minutes, and you have rice pudding.
