You’re making the decision to live a healthier life, but that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice convenience. Recipes with few ingredients are one way to take hassle out of snack or meal prep. Here are 2- and 3-ingredient recipes to bookmark for days that are lazy, busy, or anything in between.

Like all the recipes we share on Skinny Ms., these dishes are made with clean eating ingredients, or ingredients that are non- or minimally processed. There’s a myth that eating healthy is hard, but these and plenty of other recipes on our site prove that you can nourish your body with good-for-you foods without adding stress to the day.

Here’s another tip for making nutritious eating easier: commit to planning meals each week before your regular grocery trip. By knowing what you’re going to make ahead of time, you can stock up on those healthy ingredients and plan prep—it will save you from resorting to processed meals packed with sodium, refined sugar, and ingredients you couldn’t pronounce if you tried.
