4 Easy Tips to Eat Healthy on a Budget
At RISE we focus on keeping wellness simple, and when it comes to food we know it’s essential to have a few strategies that work for your tastebuds and your budget.
So imagine this scenario: you open a fully stocked fridge brimming with delicious and fresh, high-quality foods that are chocked-full of the nutrients you need. And the best part is that it was super affordable and you have cash to spare.
While organic superfoods may cost more than your weekly food budget allows, you can still load up on the good stuff at an affordable price having a few tips in mind. Eating healthy doesn’t necessarily require expensive ingredients and your recipes don’t need to be overly complex.
If you’re ready to add high-quality ingredients to your diet without breaking the bank, follow these four easy tips...
#1 Keep Your Kitchen Stocked
It makes cooking so much easier if you stock up on canned and dry goods, like tomato puree, tuna, chickpeas, kidney beans, rice, lentils, sweet potatoes and frozen fruits and vegetables. Stocking up on these staples equips you to make very quick and healthy meals affordably.
#2 Buy in Bulk
For long-lasting items you’ll save yourself time at the grocery store and keep dollars in your wallet by purchasing larger quantities—a big bag of quinoa or a couple of liters of olive oil will go a long way.
#3 Cook Once - Eat Twice
Want to save time and money? Cook in bulk! Make a huge pot of chili over the weekend and portion it out for the rest of your week. Make a soup, cook quinoa, prep your veggies, make your favorites salads and dressings - and get ready to enjoy the goodness all week long!
#4 Power Up with Plant-Based Proteins
Many of us are used to eating proteins like beef, chicken and fish. And there’s no question—you need protein to build and maintain lean muscle.
But don’t completely rule out the more affordable option – plant-based proteins! Adding plant-based proteins to your diet is an easy and cost-effective way to lose weight, gain lean muscle and improve your cardiovascular health. You’ll also enjoy the benefits of extra fiber and immune-boosting antioxidants.
We hope these 4 easy tips turn out to be a fun way to rev up your kitchen and pantry, ultimately making your meals amazing - and affordable!
