The ones — when you are eating healthy, you’re really actually looking forward to eating.

Bonus if they are tasty from delicious seasoning. I don’t like bland food.

Bonus if they are easy to prepare—you can go pick up the ingredients at the store and make it and eat it now. 30m of cooking is reasonable.
If it takes extra preparation, even like slow cooker, it’s just too much time for me to think ahead (fail to think ahead) and then abandon my healthy eating. Or even when you have to wait for the fruit or avocado to be ripe… and so you end up going for the ho ho.

If you can't wait the two days for an avocado to ripen, then you're not going to be able to wait for the months+ of consistency required to be healthy.

Just lower your standards and accept your fate of being unhealthy .

What BS.

I cook a pot of bean or lentil soup every week. My favorite right now is red lentil with leeks, tomato, and greens. I eat it plain, as a side with rice or TJ palak paneer, on baked potato or as a burrito filling with veggies. Sometimes I top with yogurt or sriracha. It’s very filling and high fiber, also super fast to make

I love love Alison Roman’s chickpea stew. I doctor it a bit with more spice, lime and lots chopped ciltrao and green onion and a dollop of yogurt to finish. BUT no one in my family likes it and I don’t want to make it plus a separate dinner for everyone else.
So I will wait until I’m an old cat lady and make chickpea stew all the time

In the morning I add a tbsp of almond butter and some cut up fresh or frozen fruit.

I switched from making my own, to just ordering Oats Overnight. The cost wasn't that much difference (oats, protein powder, chia seeds, flax seeds + flavoring and fruit). Plus they have a ton of flavors. I can grab it and go, or can prepare it at work the night before and have it waiting for me when I get in. It keeps me very full until mid afternoon.

Oats Overnight is yummy, but it has a decent amount of sugar (close to a bowl of frosted flakes, for frame of reference), compared to when I make my own oats, I don’t add any sugar other than the fruit I top it with.
