How To Eat Well On A Budget

Summer is the season where everyone begins talking about being more healthy. Healthy eating can sometimes be SUPER expensive. However, there are so many perks of healthy eating such as:
  • More energy
  • Less sluggish feeling

  • Grow stronger
  • Improve your sleep

  • Make a shopping list – budget in advance so you don’t get too tempted walking around the supermarket
  • Meal prep – prep in bulk and prep meals throughout the week.
  • Buy frozen fruit and veg – stores like Tesco, Lidl, Aldi do great frozen fruit and smoothie mixes for breakfast
