I've been thinking of ordering from one of those what I like to call bachelor chow services such as Huel or JimmyJoy. I'm disabled and often don't have the energy to cook for myself but I really want to order out less. Would this be a good investment? They are around 2-3 dollars a meal, but shipping kills that.

I'm a staunch "the best bachelor chow is a can of beans and maybe throw some shit in there" unless your disability prevents you from eating beans

I definitely do that, but I'm concerned I'm not getting the right amount of nutrients when I do that

Is adding potatoes and frozen veggies an option? Both can be just tossed in the microwave and combined with beans would make a pretty nutritionally complete meal. A bit light on protein and maybe calories depending on how much you can eat of it, but then you could supplement that with protein shakes which come a lot cheaper than meal replacement ones

Soy milk smoothies with whatever veggies and frozen fruit you like might be the best way to go. The soymilk is often fortified and the fruits/veggies should be good for the rest of the vitamins.
