Cheap, fast, and potentially very healthy: smoothies. One basic recipe: 2 cups fruit juice, e.g. orange juice or apple juice 2-3 tablespoons ground flax seed (omega-3, trace minerals, fiber) 2-3 tablespoons protein powder (soy, hemp, whatever) 2 bananas 2-3 cups of greens: kale, frozen spinach (organic, conventional has too much pesticides), collard greens; frozen means no washing, so it's faster 1 cup frozen mango, blueberries, etc. 1 kiwi spices (cinnamon, etc.) Obviously, you can mix and experiment and find what you like. You can also include a lot more greens than you'd ever eat in one salad, and thanks to the blender, not spend time chewing, nor get sated with the (sometimes bitter) taste of greens. Enjoy!
