8 Healthy Microwave Meals For When You’re Feeling Lazy

Everyone has those lazy days where you just can’t even think about trying to cook up a delicious meal; you’re tired, you’ve got work to do or just want to curl up on the sofa and watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S on netflix. So here are 8 healthy microwave meals that you can whip up in a microwave for when that lazy feeling hits you.

1. Omelette in a mug

Now everyone always has eggs in their fridge and breakfast is always an acceptable meal morning and night. Just whisk a couple of eggs in a mug, add a dash of milk and any veggies you might have left over, bang it in the microwave and you’be got a quick healthy dinner.

2. Jacket Potato

Who doesn’t love a jacket potato? Instead of having them baking in the oven for nearly an hour, a quick ten minutes in the microwave does the trick and you can fill them with a variety of toppings. A tuna and sweetcorn mix is quick, simple and healthy. What more could you ask for?

3. Mac n Cheese

You don’t get a more comforting meal than macaroni and cheese, and you can easily make this without putting in too much effort and still get a filling and tasty meal. Just add macaroni, water and your own blend of cheese (be as imaginative as you want!)

4. Burrito bowl

This is a quick and easy recipe you can easily make in the microwave. All you need is microwaveable rice, and anything you fancy adding to it. Think beans, sweetcorn, avocado; basically clean your cupboard out of any leftovers and you’ve got yourself a delicious meal.

5. Poached eggs

Who doesn’t love a poached egg? But with so many elements to it (the hot water, the cracking the egg at the right moment, the vinegar) there’s a lot that can go wrong. But with a quick zap in the microwave you can have some easy poached eggs. Just have them on brown toast and you’ve got a quick and easy breakfast.
