My possibly-flawed understanding is that frozen veggies are quite close, nutritionally speaking, to fresh, so for those days where you really can't prep, a few bags in the freezer could be a way to get your daily quota.
I also tend to cook up a batch of a "base" – quinoa, rice, and suchlike – to which I'll add different things on successive days; beans and salsa and sour cream one day, say, and veggies the next.
Meal-planning can also have big benefits. Even just knowing what's in your fridge and pantry and having some ideas about how you can combine them can keep you from pulling the "look around until you find the easiest thing" trick.
