A blender can be helpful. I buy bags of frozen strawberries, blueberries, etc. from Costco and keep bananas and nonfat yogurt and soy protein powder (from Trader Joes) on hand and throw in whatever else I have in the fridge.

I've also just started trying out different recipes in a rice cooker. Toss in rice and vegetables and various seasonings, press a button, and you're there.

Crockpots are also cool if you're into soups/stew/curry.
