Burned Out

When you're running on empty and need energy but have zero capacity to cook. The key is nutrient-dense, ready-to-eat foods that require no effort.

• Greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts – Protein, healthy fats, and a little sweetness. Takes thirty seconds.
• Cheese and crackers – A classic for a reason. It's calories, protein, and crunch. Pair with a few cherry tomatoes if you have them.
• A smoothie – Anything you can blitz in a blender and drink. Banana, milk, a spoonful of peanut butter, and a handful of frozen berries.
• Instant porridge with raisins – Just add boiling water. The raisins add sweetness and a little iron.
• A mug of bone broth – If you have it, it's warming, hydrating, and rich in collagen. If not, a stock cube in hot water is still good.
• Tinned fruit in juice – Peaches, pears, or mandarins. Eat them straight from the tin. It's fruit. It counts.
