1. Almond Milk + Nearly Empty Peanut Butter Jar

2. Egg + Microwave

3. Avocado + Seaweed

DISH NAME: To-Goshi

4. Deli Meat + Cheese Slices

DISH NAME: Deli Roll-Up

WHAT TO DO: If you're searching for that perfect lunch time meal substitute and don't have a second to breathe, just roll up some deli meat into some cheese singles and you'll be fully charged for that important business MEATING. (Get it?? Sorry.)

5. Canned Black Beans + String Cheese

DISH NAME: Probeans

WHAT TO DO: One thing that can't be ignored when you're rushing out the door is the need for protein. If you heat up some beans in the microwave, make sure you shred some string cheese on top. It's the perfect flavor combination and will provide a hearty snack on the go.

6. Tortilla Chips + Spicy Peppers

ESTIMATED PREP. TIME: 1/2 minute

7. Iced Coffee + Chocolate Milk

DISH NAME: Choc-uccino

WHAT TO DO: The lines during peak hours at most coffee shops can really eat up your day, so it's quicker to make a homemade flavored coffee drink instead. Add some chocolate milk to your iced coffee and — voilà! — a sweet and energizing beverage to take on the road.

ESTIMATED PREP. TIME: 1 1/2 minutes

8. Tomato Slices + Cheese-Flavored Crackers

DISH NAME: Pizza Parts

WHAT TO DO: Everyone loves pizza, but not everyone has the time to bake one. Luckily for you, pizza only has, like, three ingredients. Bite into a tomato slice and then start crunching down on a few cheese-flavored crackers. You'll be surprised how effective this is if you're in a hurry.

ESTIMATED PREP. TIME: 1 minute

9. Popcorn + Maple Syrup

DISH NAME: Canadian Popcorn

WHAT TO DO: If you're in a hurry and looking for a sweet and savory dessert, simply microwave a bag of popcorn and pour on a little maple syrup. It can get a bit sticky, so make sure you grab a plastic fork.

ESTIMATED PREP. TIME: 2 minutes

10. Leftover Chinese Food Rice + Hummus

DISH NAME: Riceummus

WHAT TO DO: There's almost nothing as tasteless as leftover delivery white rice. Reheating that bland square of food can leave a lot to be desired. However, avoid the soy sauce packet altogether and mix some hummus into the box, and you'll be wondering why you haven't eaten this snack every day of your life.
