We all have been in a situation where we skipped a meal or two just because we didn’t have enough ingredients to cook a perfect meal, at least towards the end of a month when we run out of groceries. And who doesn’t hate last-minute grocery shopping? If you are planning on just whipping up some last-minute wonder that wouldn’t require a long list of ingredients or tricking kids into getting their nutrients in a somewhat more accessible and tastier way, you are looking at the correct page.
Ranging from a healthy smoothie to cooking a whole dinner all by yourself, you can explore it all.
We would be helping you out with twenty unique dishes using only three ingredients.
1Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Let us start smooth and sweet as nothing even comes in the vicinity of the smoothness of a smoothie!
Anyone will regret saying no to something that is simple, healthy and satisfies your cravings as well. Clean your blender and gear up folks because you wouldn’t want that dirty blender getting in the way of a perfect smoothie.
This nutritious smoothie is purely vegan. It is prepared using fresh strawberries, bananas and almond milk. Blend your way into getting that heavenly taste.
2Green Smoothie
What is a better way into getting kids to eat greens than a green smoothie? There is none.
As the name suggests it gets the green colour from spinach, but you wouldn’t have to give a second thought about the smoothie to taste all green as the pineapple and coconut added compliment it into masking the flavour of spinach. The coconut provides a creamy and silky texture to the smoothie, while the frozen pineapples contribute to the sweetness so that you don’t have to add sugar. There is nothing wrong in saying that this smoothie is a pina colada imposter.
3Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Did anyone say pancakes? Because we heard you!
You just have to blend oats, eggs and, of course, the star ingredient “cottage cheese” along with a shimmer of salt. Don’t forget to heat your pan, and you’ll get a mouthful of fluffy pancakes in no time. As cherry is to a sundae, you get to decide the shape and toppings for this magical pancake.
4Dalgona Coffee
During the first phase of lockdown and quarantine, this mysterious coffee was the only thing driving people into doing something out of their comfort zones. At a glance, this would appear as a highly complex beverage to make at home, but we would love to break it to you that you can easily whip up this luxurious coffee in no time.
Get ready to hand-mix equal parts of instant coffee, sugar and some water until it becomes fluffy. After getting the right amount of fluff you were looking for, pick any milk of your liking as the base and top it with the coffee mix and enjoy!
