Hey everyone it's Anna here and thanks for coming to my channel. Today I do all
things healthy eating, meal prep, and nutrition and if that's what you're
looking for you're in the right place. So today I'm going to be talking about how
to eat healthy on a tight budget. If you're anything like me I just really
enjoy getting deals but also eating healthy while doing it. You don't have to
sacrifice one or the other. So I've been doing this for about a year and a half
so throughout that time I've been learning little tips and tricks and so
if you're wanting to get into meal prep and you still want to eat healthy and
not spend a bunch of money you know wreck your budget because of it and I'm
gonna help you right here. So some of the things that I do is like I like to get
staples. So some of the things I always buy that are really really inexpensive
and also super good for you, oatmeal. So I always get oatmeal. I might go through
an oatmeal like this in like two weeks because I'm pretty plain and I eat
basically two things for breakfast. I eat oatmeal, regular oatmeal, overnight oats
or eggs and I use actually oatmeal a lot of my different baking recipes. I grind
it up and use it as a flour, oat flour. So super easy this is like two dollars
basically so that's a good one. Another thing that I like to get is bananas
Bananas are super healthy for you. They've got potassium of course and you
can pick these up as you know they cost like a dollar less than a dollar for a
big bundle of these and then fruits and veggies you know peppers are a good
staple in your house not that expensive. Apples, sweet potatoes. I like to pick up
a bunch of sweet potatoes while I'm at the grocery store. I usually use at least
three or four of these per week. Another one is eggs. Eggs are always in my house
and I go through a lot of eggs like I said I eat either eggs or oatmeal for
breakfast. So those two things are super easy. Almond milk this one was only like
$2.50 or something. I just buy the regular almond milk original unsweetened almond
milk and I'll go through one of these maybe once a week or so. I use these in
all my things like smoothies and oatmeal and all sorts of baking so I need that
It's a problem if I don't have it. Another is cottage cheese. Cottage cheese
is pretty inexpensive and it's super good for you. It's got a ton of protein
This one has 12 grams of protein in a half a cup so if you're looking to get
protein which it is really hard to get protein. I am a vegetarian for the most
part I do eat a little bit of dairy but it's really hard to get protein if you
are a vegetarian so that's another source there. And then another one that's
always in my house is Greek yogurt. This is also very high in protein. This is 18
grams of protein in about a cup so that's a good another good one I like to
mix it with my berries. And then another one is is berries. Berries are a little
more expensive even in the frozen section but I like to shop around for
whatever deals. I usually shop at Fred Meyer or Albertsons and I usually get
good coupons from Fred Meyer so I like to use those whenever I can. And then
also in the summer when we're getting berries in from different places at the
farmers markets I like to grab those. And then the last one I like to get is some
sort of nut butter so this is sunflower seed butter but you can do peanut butter
almond butter cashew butter it really doesn't matter but this one has about
seven grams of protein and that's about two tablespoons so I like to put that on
my toast or in my oatmeal. I think I feel like a broken record talking about
oatmeal. People make fun of me how much I love oatmeal but anyway I hope you
