Almonds tend to be one of mine in a pinch, a good fresh apple too, but I’d love to know some more, particularly in terms of meals.

Here’s my favourite salad: Juice two oranges and half a lemon, put in a big bowl. Thinly slice three apples, immediately put the slices in the bowl with the citrus juice. Grate 1 cm of ginger if you like it, mix in. Add in cooked beluga lentils, however much you want. It stays crisp for about three days in a good fridge. I tend to use a mandolin to slice the apples, so they’re chip sized - smaller pieces get soggy quicker.
It’s also great as a side dish.
Ooh, that’s the kinda meal-prep I’m after, particularly when it comes to healthier stuff (it all seems to go bad so quickly, I feel like I must be handling it all wrong)! Also, this speaks to how basic my meal prep is, but when I read mandolin I couldn’t help immediately thinking of the musical instrument instead, lol
Maybe they seem to go bad quickly because there’s no added preservative :D Having said that, I made this Korean marinade two weeks ago - gochujang, garlic, chili peppers, an apple, soy sauce. I put it in a jar and we haven’t been using it as much as we could. I’ve been expecting it to go bad, ferment, or grow mould for a while, but it’s still good. I think it’s all the salt acting as preservative? I really don’t know.
