Let's face it even we who love to cook have days when the last thing we want to do is cook...
my solution?
just get your blender out...
throw in some fruit juice, yogurt,-- and fresh fruits-- bananas, papayas, or mango--whatever is the fruit of the season... make sure it matches the fruit juice-- if it doesn't omit the fruit juice and add water instead..
here's a basic recipe
2 cups yogurt
2 cups water or fruit juice
1 cup of fruit..
honey to taste...
--- just blend together for 30 sec.. and there you go, healthy, easy, and satisfying.
some good fruit combinations:
mango and banana
mango and papaya
banana and papaya
banana and pineapple
pineapple and orange
passionfruit and pineapple
passionfuit and orange (may have to add more honey)
banana and strawberries
banana and blueberries
apple and pears
banana and apple (add some cinnamon and raisins:)
Berries and berries (whatever is available)

That would work for a snack, but not dinner :)
I'd probably just go and buy a sandwich.
P.S. I tried to respond to your question about dried cherries, but realized I did not have your email.
Here is my response:
Hi, Nani.
Thank you for the compliments :)
You can absolutely use cranberries instead of cherries, or any other dried fruit (just make sure it is not completely dry). You can also use fresh cherries if you find them.
I hope you make this recipe and like it. Let me know how it turns out.
hi Olga,
thanks for dropping by..
mmm... fresh cherries sounds really good.
buying a sandwich would work too... save yourself from washing the blender :)
we sometimes add nuts, oatmeal or wheatgerm to our shakes to make it more filling. adding some whey protein can also work for athletes who are trying to build muscles. spirulina powder, is another dietary supplement that can be mixed with shakes.
