With minimal handling and using ingredients from the basic pantry, involving only opening and mixing, and occasionally heating in the microwave, or with fresh foods that require no more than peeling and/or cutting, nutritious meals can be prepared very easily. Below, we suggest some ideas.
 
 

For any time:

Yogurt with fruit: arrange cut fruit and nuts to taste in yogurt, mix.

Porridge: soak oats, drain, mix with milk and honey, and microwave for 2 minutes.

Mini-sweet sandwich: slice banana thinly. Spread a slice of bread with cocoa cream or peanut butter, add the banana, and cover with another slice of bread.

Mini-savory sandwich: drain a can of tuna and mix with mayonnaise and pickles to taste. Use the mixture to fill slices of bread or a roll.

Express pizza: place a base of ratatouille on a corn tortilla. Dice a small cheese on top and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave. Finish with extra virgin olive oil on top.

Quesadilla: mash or crush some white beans and mix with some cheese. Place the mixture on a corn tortilla, fold, and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Cut ice cream: crush or mash a piece of skinless fresh fruit and mix with some custard. Add a little milk, mix well, and freeze. Cut into pieces to consume with cookies.

Sardine toast: place roasted peppers on a couple of biscuits or country-style bread, accompanied by some preserved sardine fillets on top.

For lunches and dinners:
