However, as we always have a solution for each little problem, we decided to bring to the post several suggestions for easy recipes to make at home.
Whether you are working from home or, simply, with collective vacations released by the company, it is common that, once away from routine, laziness can arise.

The solution is to start preparing some dishes of your taste, always investing in quick, affordable options that can yield great moments for your day.
We will be close together throughout this period. Therefore, we decided to share with our readers some of our favorite alternatives that have been a huge success among the Review and shop team. To find out what they are, grab your notebook now and write it down one by one!
Recipe # 1: overnight oats (oats in the pot)

The coolest? You can prepare it in the blink of an eye and, the next day, have an excellent breakfast to start your plans. It works like this:

With this step complete, add some fruits of your taste. It can be strawberries, bananas, blackberries and so on;
Some people still like to include granola, chestnuts or any other nuts that can guarantee good crunchiness;

Recipe # 3: lactose-free brigadeiro (wow!)
A sweet always looks good! so we brought this famous Brazilian sweet dish in our 3 easy recipes to make at home, the brigadier remains firm at the top of the list. However, unfortunately, people who have lactose intolerance cannot enjoy this recipe, since they are at risk of suffering some discomfort after eating it.
If you are part of this team, rest assured! For the happiness of the chocoholics on duty, there is an equally incredible alternative that manages to substitute sweet for good during social isolation.
Ingredients
- 1 can of condensed soymilk;
- 1 tablespoon unsalted margarine;
- 2 tablespoons of powdered chocolate;
- Granulated chocolate to taste – and without lactose – to decorate the candy.
Preparation mode
To cook your brigadeiro without lactose, take a pan and mix condensed soymilk, margarine, and powdered chocolate. On a low heat, start stirring the ingredients, until they thicken and come off the bottom of the pan.
The next step is to put everything on a plate and leave it on a cooling surface. That done, washes your hands, grease with butter and start shaping the balls. Finish by passing each piece in the sprinkles and, if you want, decorate with paper shapes.
Bonus
For even more convenience, a final recommendation is to prepare your recipes in larger portions, in addition to storing them in the freezer or refrigerator. Thus, it is only necessary to defrost the dishes and eat your meals in complete tranquillity. Hmmm!
