Page 38 - Essentials For Eating Again

A few basic tips for saving cash when fixing healthy food:

Replace veggie protein for the meat protein in a few of your meals,
particularly if you tend to eat meat at most meals. Legumes, particularly
when bought in their dry form, cost a lot less than meat.

Discover a large farmer’s market where local vegetables are sold. Frequently

you may find amazing deals on really fresh produce. Additionally, if you go
towards to end of the market, venders often sell what’s left at even more
reduced prices.

Purchase in bulk. Find a grocery that sells grains, legumes, nuts, seeds and

other items in bulk. Store the particulars in glass jars to keep them fresh.

Make your own version of items like salad dressing or smoothies. They'll be

much healthier if you make your own and they're really simple.

• Simple salad dressing: olive oil, vinegar, mustard, herbs, and a little
salt & pepper.

• Smoothie: ½ banana, 6 strawberries, handful of blueberries, liquid of

choice (i.e. splash of juice and low fat milk) and blend till smooth.

Pack a lunch. Bring leftovers or buy ingredients to make your own lunch.

You will save tons of money and it will be better for you.

An intelligent diet may include snacks. A few individuals in reality do better
when they consume 3 small meals plus a few healthy snacks throughout the
day. Snacks may help keep our blood glucose level more even, giving us

constant energy rather than the more common highs and lows in energy
level.
