Lazy Student Meals in 15 Minutes | Healthy, Cheap, Fast
SUBSCRIBE: | Follow my IG:
Just like you, I was once a student, and the truth is, you can get really lazy to cook for yourself especially when you are living on your own with very limited space and cooking utensils.
During my first year in Uni, I ate out every single day and without even realising it, I started gaining weight. It wasn’t until towards the end of my 2nd year, where I started to learn to cook for myself. I had no idea what I was doing. So it was super basic cooking, with very little ingredients, but hey, that got back on a healthier eating track and that’s how I got into fitness.
Here are 3 of my favourite student meals, which I still cook up till today because they are easy, you won’t need a lot of ingredients or space and they can be ready in under 15 minutes.
What’s your favourite LAZY recipe. Let me know in the comments below. Do share your food pictures with me, tag me @JoannaSohOfficial #JSohRecipes
READ below for the recipes and steps.

2. ½ can Tuna Chunks – 55Cals
3. 2 tbsps. Cheese, shredded – 36Cals
4. 1 tbsp. Yoghurt – 59Cals

Steps:
1. The first step is to prick the potato all over with a knife.
2. Then cook the potato on full power in the microwave for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of your potato.
3. While the potato is cooking, in a bowl, mix the tuna chunks, yoghurt and herbs together. Then set it aside.
4. After 10 minutes, remove the potato from the microwave and cut the potato in half lengthwise and fill up with tuna mixture.
5. Then I’m going to top it up with some shredded cheese. Place it back into the microwave, and cook very quickly for about one and a half minutes just to melt the cheese.

i like your food
The rest of the world calls Stuffed Potato – Jacket potatoes???
Thank you Joanna , but you use canned foods which I believe is not a healthy choice even if organic.
Joanna, you know the rule that you do not combine canned fish with milk or yogurt?
Love you Joanna please go vegan ❤
The first one is something I make atleast once or twice a week, its delicious and so easy. I like to add tinned sweetcorn to the tuna mixture for some super lazy extra flavour. Sometimes if I'm feeling fancy I mix in chopped cucumber, bell pepper and red onion too 😍
The baked potatoe in the microwave now that’s the student way
hi Joanna , Nice choices, im a busy daddy but i do love to cook for my kids now and then ..
Thank you Joanna for the amazing, delicious recipes. I've tried your sweet and sour chicken recipe and now this one. More recipes please 🙂
Can Food is very unhealthy though☹️

Hey Jo I'm not a student just wanted to learn how to cook on a budget ☺️👍😂 because it's fun, I think we tend to spend way too much on food.
Thank you Joanna! I needed this!
This is kinda

Just what I needed! 😀 Thank you!!!
Heyyy Joanna! I'd been following you from last few years and had incredible journey towards healthy lifestyle and being fit but from last two years I hardly exercisesd and couldn't focus on diet due to exams and other reasons Now I want to restart my workout routine and everything else.. How should I start? Bcoz its been while and my body is not that active I feel so how to get back in shape and to be healthy plz reply
Omg you're the angel of Healthy food help
Diabetic friendly in the most part?
That's a great video. I will try it
I don’t know what is herb? How does it test?
I don't think any of these food personalities on Youtube understand what "lazy" or "budget" or "fast" means. We live in a world where fast delicious food is as simple as getting in your car, driving a few blocks to a fast food place, and for a few dollars you have a hot juicy burger, perfectly crispy salt chicken, etc. Meals can be as easy as pull box from freezer, pre-heat oven, dump box contents on a baking sheet, and you're done. Pull the food out when the time is up. Or even easier, same deal but with a microwave. All of these Youtube videos involve chasing down multiple ingredients which gets expensive fast, prepping multiple ingredients which are often useless and inedible on their own, and multiple steps for cooking. The final result is, meh. It's hard to commit to eating better when even the simpler foods are process intensive, time consuming, expensive, and taste worse than stopping at McDonald's for a hot juicy $1 cheeseburger.
