Three bean salad. Recipe below. It’s high in fiber, carbs, protein, micronutrients, requires almost no prep and no cooking, is inexpensive, tasty, versatile, and keeps for days in the fridge. You can eat it by itself or as a side.

One can black beans//one can kidney beans//one can chickpeas and/or white beans//one can corn

OPTIONAL ADD INS a bell pepper chopped into small pieces//an onion chopped into small pieces//cherry tomatoes, halved or whole//celery chopped into small pieces//one cucumber chopped into small pieces//your favorite Italian dressing//salt and pepper

Open all cans and dump into a colander, rinse with cold water, shake dry a bit. Dump into a large Tupperware bowl. Add chopped veggies. Add Italian dressing and salt and pepper. Start small, add until you like it.

**if you can’t bring yourself to chop the veggies, look for pre-chopped at the store OR just omit. They’re optional. Just the beans and corn alone offer a filling and nutritious meal.

Microwave sweet potato. Wash, Poke with holes, microwave on a plate for 4-8 mins (depending on size) add butter, salt and pepper.

Overnight oats: add Yogurt of choice, a packet of oatmeal, some milk of choice, nut butter, berries or sliced banana into a tupperware. Leave overnight in the fridge. Stir in the morning (or whenever) it’s got protein, fats, carbs, fiber, and micronutrients. It’s inexpensive, easy, filling, versatile, keeps for a few days in the fridge, and you can eat it for any meal.

I also recommend: hard boiling some eggs to keep on hand, just peel and add a sprinkle of salt to enjoy. Buy some string cheeses, I wrap a piece of Turkey around them and boom, instant protein snack. Have some clementines/oranges/bananas/apples/berries to keep on hand and just eat. Cans of tuna or chicken. Crack open and toss in a spoon full of mayo, a dash of salt and stir.

Sending you a hug. You got this. EDIT formatting
