Eating Healthy On A Budget Made Easy

3:46 pm by Heather 1 Comment


Eating healthy on a budget is something that more and more families are finding themselves trying to adhere to. Thankfully, you don’t have to go out and purchase all organic, or all natural foods to eat healthy, and most of the foods that you purchase for eating healthy can actually be whipped together fairly quickly. This means that you save yourself time, money, and lose weight at the same time.

Here are a few healthy eating ideas that can bring your family to the table, without you having to worry about their weight or their health in the future:

Chicken Caesar Salad

The first meal that you can throw together quickly is a chicken Caesar salad with light Garlic croutons and a light Caesar dressing. This salad weighs in at around 500 calories depending on how you cook the chicken, and what type of dressing you are using on it, but can be thrown together in around 20 minutes. The chicken Caesar salad with light croutons and dressing is sure to bring your family to the table, and will actually get them to eat their greens. You don’t want to outweigh the benefits by loading the salad down with dressing though, as this will really put the calories into it.

Grilled Salmon

Another meal that you can think about throwing together for your family is grilling some salmon patties with some vegetables to surround it. Some great vegetables for this are grilled potatoes, squash, and other root type vegetables that will help lessen the fishy flavor found in salmon. Salmon is loaded down with healthy omega 3 fatty acids and other essential oils that can help brighten your families skin, as well as lubricate their veins to ensure proper blood flow. Salmon is also considered a brain food, giving your kids much better focusing abilities in school.

pasta/chinese noodlesPasta Primavera

One other meal that is guaranteed to bring your family to the dinner table, and have them begging for more is pasta primavera. This simple dish is elegant and creamy, but will still fill up your family without breaking your wallet. The dish doesn’t take long at all to whip together, and the recipe is quite easy. There are plenty of variations of pasta primavera on the internet, so you are going to want to find one that matches the style that your family loves.

Buy More Fruits, Vegetables and Nuts

The last tip for maintaining a healthy diet on a budget is to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, and nuts into your regular diets. These natural food items are rich in antioxidants and other vitamins and nutrients that your body requires in order to both lose weight, and also maintain a healthy weight. The few meal ideas presented here, as well as implementing fruits, vegetables, and nuts into your families regular diet routines are guaranteed to have them asking for more, but aren’t going to leave you wishing you wouldn’t have spent so much. The energy and focus that your family will gain from changing your diet plan and meal structure is immense, and will show through as you incorporate more healthy living ideas into your lifestyle.

    Thanks for the tips. I like to make big batches when i cook. Then I can save money by eating leftovers for lunch instead of spending a fortune at the cafes near my office.
