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
  • Better skin, less oily, breakouts.
  • Grow stronger
  • Improve your sleep
  • Strengthen immune system

 

That is why we have put together a guide of how to eat well on a budget. It doesn’t have to be super expensive and you can still have fun with food.

  • 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
  • Plan your meals
  • Replace meat with other protein sources- fresh meat adds up in cost. Once or twice a week go meat-free or swap for fish
  • Cook at home – eating out too often can be expensive and unhealthy

It can sometimes be tough to even know what to make so below we have listed some yummy meals ideas that will keep you healthy all year round.

  • Eggs – scrambled eggs using coconut oil on the pan. With tomatoes or sliced pepper.
  • Oats – with added fruit or honey.
  • Greek yoghurt – with fruit, berries, honey.
