Preferably something that has little to no preparation required.

    Oatmeal. Pour in bowl with water/milk and nuke it for 3-4 min. Or you can do the whole overnight oats thing and have it ready with no prep in the morning.

      I second oatmeal but I go with savory. 50g of oats, 250ml of broth/liquid.

      Variation 1 is a spice mix that mimics a favorite rice pilaf recipe (maybe 1/2 tsp of Old Bay seasoning, some salt and pepper, a sprinkle of turmeric and coriander). Then add in protein, veg, cheese, whatever. That’s my go-to most of the time.

      Variation 2 is “pizza” style: a scoop of premade marinara, some broth to fill out the rest of the liquid, and a sprinkle of shredded mozz. Throw in some protein/veg that works (think pizza).

      Variation 3 is “Mexican style,” which I mostly do if I have some leftover carnitas or taco meat: change the spices to chili powder and cumin, cheese, of course.

      Quick oats cook up in 2-2.5 minutes in the microwave. Total prep time is maybe 10-15 minutes.

      And if you don’t like the texture of cooked oatmeal, you can also just pour water/milk over rolled oats and eat it as is

      There’s a reason centuries of peasants survived on gruel…
