How can i eat healthy on a budget?

Think Green

Fewer than a third of men and women eat the recommended five or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day. But both can be inexpensive an good for you - whether fresh or frozen, dried or canned (which have a longer shelf life)

Plan ahead to save the pennies
Devise a weeks menu in advance and use this to compile your shopping list. It's important for you to stick to it, to avoid temptations that may blow the budget.

Eat more wholegrains

They're rich in nutrients, so are healthy,as well as being filling and cheap. Opt for wholegrain breakfast cereals and bread, brown rice, wholewheat pasta, bulgar wheat and ricecakes. (you can read reviews on the cheapest and tastiest at http://www.ciao.co.uk/Rice_Cakes_5205949_4)
Top up
At times when we struggle to eat healthily, taking a daily multivitamin can help support nutrition. If your like me and hate swallowing tablets then try Bassetts Soft and Chewy, they have a nice raspberry taste and provide you with the right multivitamins and minerals needed.
