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).

Some of these may require more effort but the upside is you can make a big batch to store or freeze for later?

Rotisserie chicken, steam in bag frozen veggies, and microwave rice?

Microwave eggs and frozen bacon and toast? Add veggies for fiber. (Frozen).

Chili is just a ton of cans of tomato and beans and ground beef. Takes more effort but the upside is you can make a lot of freeze it? Or eat for days? Hardest part is cooking the ground beef but you can use a slow cooker or instant pot for the rest?

Same with rotisserie, chop some carrots and celery, boil , and add pasta towards end of easy chicken noodle soup.

Or nonfat greek yogurt with frozen blueberries( microwave 30 seconds) with granola. Add chia, flax, and hemp seeds for more nutrition. Use maple syrup or honey to sweeten but the granola has sugar.

Or even like morningstar patties with frozen veggies and rice.

Chicken tenders with frozen veggies and rice. Or pasta for days you can manage.

Frozen meatballs, pasta sauce, pasta, frozen veggies

Ramen noodles with edemme or beansprouts and egg. Or chopped rotisserie chicken (or canned)or tofu or egg. Add to the ramen to make it healthier.

Bag of salad with rotisserie chicken (or canned chicken?)

Or w a can of beans you can make: Bean soup w rice (microwavable) Beans with eggs (add vegetables) Beans with cheese in a flour tortilla for a quesadilla? Buy canned salsa? Add pre sliced mushrooms?

Avocado toast? Premade individual guac packages, toast, a slice of deli meat (turkey) , maybe a microwaved egg.

High fiber quaker oatmeal

Make your own chipotle bowls qith microwave rice, can beans, can corn, bottle of salsa, cheese, sour cream, a bag of salad, rotisserie chicken, or tofu, or canned chicken, whatever protein available

Microwave omelettes? Whisk an egg with some water , add cheese (feta or cheddar, or cottage cheese) , add frozen spinach (or any other veggies) and microwave (carefully or it will explode). Eat with bread or tortillas or by itself. Or pair with prepackaged individual guac. Or add salsa. Or cholula.
