夏天是一年中最好的时间:户外烧烤,日落秀,水上运动,周末度假和蓝莓派,仅举几例。夏季不那么有趣的一件事是在热门厨房的炉子上度过晚上。而且,在天气晴朗时,在冬季可能会感到放松的同一个星期天下午的餐费可能会感觉像是一件真正的琐事,您宁愿做其他任何事情。
Even though summer isn’t the ideal time for meal prep, you need plenty of energizing, delicious food to get you through busy weeks bookended by action-packed weekends. Luckily, it’s possible to easily piece together delicious no-cook meals with in-season produce and certain prepared ingredients.
Pack your cart with some (or all!) of these delicious supermarket staples, and you’ll spend all summer eating delicious meals, at home or on the go, without having to turn on the stove or oven.
1.罐装豆
富含纤维,蛋白质和健康的碳水化合物,这不是秘密的鹰嘴豆,白豆,黑豆,小扁豆和其他豆类,都是超级营养的。它们也很棒作为沙拉混合,甚至是沙拉。If you’d rather eat with your hands, try mashing black beans onto a tortilla before adding other wrap fillings or chickpeas onto bread as a DIY sandwich spread.
4. ALL KINDS OF GREENS
沙拉总是很棒,但是夏季农产品的赏金和健康的果岭available means the possibilities are endless. Buy hearty kale and massage it with olive oil to serve as a base for a hearty salad with tomatoes, Parmesan and some shredded chicken. And, keep more delicate salad greens, like spinach or butter lettuce, on hand forlighter saladsfilled with things like berries, chickpeas, cooked grains and tangy feta.
5. ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH
螺旋化的西葫芦is known as a lower-carb pasta swap, but it also tastes great raw as the base for salads, especially with a nut butter-based dressing or pesto.
7. ROTISSERIE CHICKEN
几乎不用说烤肉店鸡是无烹饪餐的全明星。它们价格便宜且超级广泛,一只鸡将在冰箱里持续四天。专家提示:将鸡肉未切割,皮肤和骨骼仍然附着,直到您打算吃饭之前,请不要切鸡。肉类不太可能干燥。
8.煮鸡蛋
Head to the egg section of any supermarket refrigerator and you’ll likely find resealable bags of完全煮熟的蛋。诚然,它们不像您在家中制作的那种美味,尤其是如果您喜欢中等煮的鸡蛋,但是它们是可靠的,不需要任何剥皮。
9. DELI MEAT
If your local supermarket has a deli counter, go for sliced-to-order meats instead of the vacuum sealed, pre-sliced stuff. The refrigerator shelf life is a little bit shorter (3–5 days) for the unpackaged stuff, but that’s because it’s not packed with preservatives. It likely has less sodium, too! If you’re looking to cut back on added sugar, avoid anything that’s glazed or honey-roasted.
12.鳄梨调味酱
Guacamole takes only a few ingredients to make — a basic version has just avocado, red onion, lime juice, salt and maybe some chopped tomato — and doesn’t require any cooking, so you can definitely opt to make your own and store it in the fridge (use plenty of lime juice and press a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface of the guac to prevent browning and crusting). But if you’re feeling lazy, there are plenty of tasty, pre-made versions available at the supermarket.
13.玉米棒上的玉米
If you think you need to grill corn before you eat it, you’re totally wrong. Cut the kernels off the cob and use the sweet, starchy raw玉米as a salad base when you need something more energizing than greens.
