So, thank heaven. For the first time, there are brilliant solutions to this dilemma at your local supermarket in the form of new convenience foods that taste great, protect you from illness, and save you gobs of time. Any of my following favorite quick meal ideas can upgrade your diet in 6 minutes or less!

Quick Meal Idea: Momentary Meat

Precooked Pot Roast: Ready in 6 Minutes  Peeling and chopping a fresh mango takes, what, 5 minutes? That’s assuming you have a ripe mango on hand. But frozen mango chunks, available in many supermarkets in 16-oz bags, are always ready. They thaw in the microwave in 2 to 3 minutes. Luscious dessert: Top fat-free vanilla ice cream with 1/2 cup of frozen mango chunks and 1/2 cup of frozen raspberries (thawed in the microwave). This mango-raspberry combo is spectacular! Your payoff: Cancer insurance. People who eat the most fruits and veggies have about half the risk of cancer, says the National Cancer Institute. More from Prevention: Fast Freezer-Friendly Meals
