You may have a mental image of a mother or grandmother standing in front of an oven for 2 hours tending to some cooking pies or cutting up potatoes; and maybe there are a dozen messy ingredients scattered about the countertops.
I'm not exaggerating when I say I throw some calories into a container, hit a button to apply heat, and come back in N minutes when it's done. I also use paper plates, napkins, and plastic forks to avoid having to do dishes(however, do wipe the container you use to cook).
- daenz 11y agoI appreciate your feedback, but I am honestly challenging you to show me a $2.15 meal that is 800 calories, no sugar, 50g protein, 33g healthy fat, 12g fiber + the recommended amount of micronutrients (calcium, magnesium, etc). And it can be prepared from scratch in under 5mins. This is what DIY soylent gets me. As far as I have researched, it can't be beat with "normal" food.
- bonesinger 11y agoOvernight Oats is a great recipe for breakfast and is prepared in 5 minutes. It won't hit the $2.15 mark and it's roughly ~400 calories, ~40g healthy carb, ~40g protein, and ~10g fats, ~10g fiber, but its easy to make. (All depends on the brands you use to make it). Toss 2 scoops protein powder, 1 cup almond milk, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1/4 cup steel cut oats in a jar and shake, refrigerate. Add fruit if you like.
