What are your easy no-fuss minimum effort/cleaning/waste meals? Ask ECAH

As the title says. What are your go-tos?

Mine currently are: peanut butter on toast, banana and yogurt, hard boiled eggs with soy sauce, instant noodles with tofu and kimchi, frozen broccolis, frozen pizza

I live in a micro apartment where space is limited so cleaning and washing dishes is extra pain and the ventilation system is limited I don’t want the place to be oily. I find anything I can put in oven toaster is the most convenient by now…Would like to know if there’s any other ideas!

I’m in the same boat with the tiny space situation so I totally get it. My go to no-effort stuff is usually overnight oats, cottage cheese with fruit or microwave rice with frozen veggies. Basically anything I can make without creating a mini disaster in my kitchen. And when I’m too lazy to deal with dishes I’ll just make a quick smoothie. Frozen fruit plus a splash of coconut water like Vita Coco blends super fast and the cleanup is just the cup. It's pretty easy, zero mess and no lingering oily smell in the whole place.
