Life moves quickly, and unfortunately many people do not have enough time to prepare a healthy meal. If you’re tired of taking your family through the drive-thru, luckly there are healthy meals that can be made quickly. Here are seven emergency meals for your fast-paced life:

1 Kebabs

Your grocer’s deli counter is jam-packed with ready-to-go meals. You can grab a package of kebabs, toss them on the grill and have dinner in ten minutes. Kebabs are great because it’s veggies and meat in one meal. All you need is another veggie or starch, and you have a complete meal.

2 Roasted Chicken

You’ll likely also find whole roasted chickens in your grocer’s deli. Grab a bagged salad, and you have a complete and healthy meal that takes you less than five minutes to get on the table. And if your family doesn’t eat the entire chicken at dinnertime, you have leftovers that can be made into chicken salad for lunch or dinner tomorrow—two meals for one.

3 Gnocchi or Frozen Ravioli

Italian is always welcomed, and you don’t have to top frozen pasta or gnocchi with a jar of tomato sauce. In fact, gnocchi, sliced onion, and a few sautéed veggies with some pre-shredded parmesan cheese make a quick and tasty meal.

4 Sardines

Sardines pack a wallop of protein, and they’re tasty. If you like tuna fish, you’ll like sardines. Cook a package of spaghetti, toss with chopped sardines, sautéed onions, and a touch of garlic, and you have a meal that takes less than 15 minutes to cook.

5 Frozen burgers

You can buy organic and non-organic frozen hamburgers and turkey burgers in your grocer’s freezer. With a package of buns, cheese slices, and a few minutes on the grill, you have fresh juicy hamburgers on the table.

6 Turkey Breast

Many marketers have fully cooked turkey breast in their deli. Slice it at home or have your butcher slice it in ¼ slices. Grab a bag of salad from the produce section and a can of gravy. You have an instant meal. Warm the turkey and top with gravy heated in the microwave. Another excellent topping for turkey breast is a warmed apricot preserve. Lightly brush the turkey slices with apricot preserves and serve. (You can use the remaining turkey breast for lunches tomorrow).

7 Ham

Ham is generally pre-cooked, and all it needs is to be warmed through, and then it is ready to serve. Grab a bag of chopped cabbage and a jar of coleslaw dressing, and you have a picnic-ready meal.

Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the great convenience of pre-made pizza crusts. You can top them with your favorite ready-to-serve toppings and have a pizza for the family in less than ten minutes.

It just takes a little creativity and planning to get a meal on the table. Skip the drive-through and feed your family well in less time.
