What do nutritionists eat when they only have 5 minutes to prepare a meal?

“Toss some black beans, frozen broccoli, and frozen brown rice in a skillet with a little olive oil and your favorite herbs and in just a few minutes you have a healthy, balanced, and delicious dinner.”Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RD, wellness manager, Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute

“I often combine veggies and leftovers hiding in my fridge to make a hearty green salad with avocado, beans, quinoa, leftover protein like chicken, tomatoes, and whatever else you have. Olives, artichoke hearts, etc. are fine too. To tie it all together, I usually add a bit of oil and balsamic vinegar. You’d be surprised at how much you can find when you can use anything.”Kelly Glassman, RD, Women’s Health Contributor

“Just heat up some whole wheat waffles, spread some peanut butter on them, and top with blueberries. Or enjoy a big bowl of whole wheat cereal with low-fat milk and fruit. Easy and hassle-free!”Joy Bauer, MS, RD, NBC nutrition and health expert TODAY Show Founder of NourishSnacks

“I have a weekly rotation of five-ingredient, five-minute recipes. My favorite is a super easy fish and veggie dish. I love a big fillet of black cod, and I sear the fish fillets skin side down. Then I scatter my favorite veggies around the fillets. It’s incredibly easy and quick to make, plus a great source of protein, healthy fats and veggies.” —Michelle Davenport, PhD, R.D., Silicon Valley Dietitian

“I love half a whole-grain sandwich with melted fresh mozzarella, tomato, balsamic vinegar, avocado, basil, and a little sea salt.”Mitch Duran, RD, Author Pinterest Diet

“Just mix in some deli turkey or chicken, some salad greens, and some spicy mustard. Done!”Shelley Marie Redmond, RD

“It’s easy to make and very nutritious. You can also mix in some baby greens or keep some cooked grains and beans in the fridge. Hummus and veggies or rice thins are also my favorites.”Katie Cavuto, MS, RD, Phillies and Flyers nutritionist
