Eating healthy means eating balanced, incorporating fresh foods whenever you can, and making sure you’re getting enough of all food types. Here’s how to do it in an affordable way.

Cheap Protein

Instead of buying only skinless chicken breasts, you can buy a whole chicken for a lot less money per pound. Eggs are also cheap and a great protein source. If you’re focusing on plants, stock up on dried beans and lentils that are amazing protein sources.

Buy in Bulk

When it comes to buying in bulk, you need to know how to be smart about it. You can stock up on canned goods, dry food with a long shelf life, and frozen produce you can store in the freezer. Making sure you always have these basics at home will make cooking healthy dishes easier.

Meal Prep

There’s not much to say about meal prep that you don’t already know. It’s a great tactic when you don’t have enough time to cook every or every other day and it makes grocery shopping easier.
