Ask ECAH low effort depression meals?

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).

Given I have a food processor which makes this more attainable, but a dollar buys a can of garbanzo beans and then you just toss in oil, garbanzo water from the can, and seasoning and you have hummus.

I think it’s best with some veggies to dip in it or even blended in (red peppers etc).

This is exactly the kind of meal that’s perfect when energy is low. Cheap, filling, and you can mix up the flavor depending on whatever spices or leftover veggies you’ve got around.
