Rice, sardines, kimchi, avocado, soy sauce, sesame oil.
Mine is probably oatmeal.
Put half a cup of instant oatmeal, some nuts, peanut butter and a banana in the blender and pour some milk.
I usually put in the refrigerator and eat it in the morning.
For sweetening You can also use dates or maple syrup instead of sugar.
This isn't what you're really asking, but I have a bunch of stuff in the freezer that I can pull out when I'm sick, don't have enough time to prepare a meal or am just exhausted from whatever.
Making lasagne? Make 4, freeze 3. Mex night? I make 20 black bean burritoes at a time. Check out https://onceamonthmeals.com/ for inspiration. Less cooking, less dishes and less food waste. Go pro and pick up a food saver. I make 8 cups of rice and freeze it in a pint food saver bag. It's winter where I live and I have "soup bags" in the freezer so I can take out veggies that were at their peak when they were frozen and put it in a crock pot so I can have summer fresh soup.
Put 3 frozen chicken breasts in the instant pot, add 1 cup chicken stock, sachet of taco seasoning, half a cup of salsa, and a tin of kidney beans, pressure cook for 17 mins, break up the chicken and mix back in, serve with sour cream and grated cheese. Amazing.
Chicken Teriyaki. I often have left over grilled chicken breast or thighs so the hard part is already done. I just throw the chicken into a skillet along with some broccoli, pour in store bought teriyaki sauce and serve it on a bowl of rice.
Is the broccoli already cooked? Or are you just heating it up to absorb the sauce?

Chicken "parmesan"
- non-scratch breaded chicken
- good marinara
- parmesan/mozza (sparingly)
Roasted peppers and pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes.
Meatballs and spaghetti :)
Sourdough pancakes. Just put some oil in the pan, pour your starter, and add some spices.
Rice, salsa, cheese, sour cream, wing it from there with seasonings and proteins like beans or meat.
Hard boiled eggs
- Preheat oven to 425 MAGA temperature units.
- Put as many frozen brussles sprouts as you can fit in a single layer in an 8x8 roasting pan (disposable pan for extra laziness).
- Oh come on. You can fit another couple in there. Just cram 'em in.
- That's better.
- Spray olive oil all over 'em.
- Garlic salt all over 'em.
- Paprika.
- Onion powder.
- Black pepper.
- Throw a frozen Aidells-brand pre-cooked andouille or italian sausage on top.
- Cook for an hour.
If you want to be just a little less lazy, you can throw a handful of raw pecans on top of the brussles sprouts to roast about 18-20 minutes before that hour is up.
Why is this downvoted? It's a long list literally just because of writing style, if that's the issue. I guess an hour is a little on the long side, but lots of people are throwing out slowcooker recipes.
Roast brussels sprouts and sausage in an oven, with certain spices. Come back when it's done. Better?

1 pound of breakfast sausage. I pull it apart with my fingers to make interestingly-differently-sized chunks. Fry, then eat. Good with syrup.
Biscuits and gravy is my lazy but I don't want eggs or cereal breakfast (I make it once or twice a month). For the gravy:
Add 1 lbs breakfast sausage to pot, add salt, pepper, sage, red pepper flakes, and fennel seeds (last three are optional, but highly recommend). Break up sausage and stir while cooking over medium/medium-high heat
Once sausage is browned, try a piece and see if it needs more seasoning
Add 1/4 cup all purpose flour and stir until it's thickened and there's no white flour left, about 1-2 minutes (congrats, you have officially made a roux around your sausage!)
Stir in 2 1/2 cups milk (I prefer whole milk), stir often until it's thickened. Turn off the heat before it's the thickness you want, it will thicken as it comes out of the pot and cools on whatever you put it on. If it's too thick (aka if the thickness looks like it would be perfect on your food while still in the pot) just add more milk and stir in. If you add too much milk, just bring it back to a simmer until it reduces to an appropriate amount.
Add salt and pepper to taste, mix in, then serve.
I added more details than needed, it's honestly a super easy and tasty recipe, plus the most expensive part is the sausage. It makes enough gravy for 2-3 people, 3-4 if you don't each each a lot of the gravy which is... difficult.
For biscuits, I recommend Alton Browns buttermilk biscuits: https://altonbrown.com/recipes/southern-buttermilk-biscuits/
I personally make my own buttermilk substitute (1 tbsp lemon juice per 1 cup milk) and use butter instead of lard and they still come out fluffy and excellent. Also, the tip about putting them in a bowl lined with them covered by a kitchen towel makes a world of difference. It is well worth dirtying a cloth and bowl over letting them sit on a baking or cooling tray.
I should specify that I love cooking, this is low effort in my opinion since the gravy really can't be messed up unless you leave it and burn it, the biscuits are more effort but I bake a decent amount so I don't mind. Store bought biscuits from a tube work fine too if you aren't a morning person or don't like baking.
