Recession Foods
Brian December 9th, 2008
People these days are not only looking to trim their waist lines, but also their grocery bill. If you still want to eat healthy and you’re not ready to eat pasta and boxed mac and cheese, try some of the suggestions listed below.
Oatmeal in a tub-Â $3-$4 will get you breakfast for the whole week. Add some mixed berries or apples, cinnamon and low sugar maple syrup for flavor.
Eggs-Â if you eat a lot of egg whites buy an 18ct. carton and de-yolk them yourself instead of buying egg beaters.
Canned Tuna-Â cheap, convenient and full of protein; limit this food to 1-2 days/week.
Whole Turkey of Chicken- buy the whole bird and trim it yourself.
Brown Rice- you can purchase this in tubs or boil in bag.
Protein Shakes-if you are trying to gain weight, but don’t want to spend the money on a weight gainer try the following: 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate whey protein, 1 cup of whole oats, 2 tbsp. of natural peanut butter and 2 cups of milk. Throw this in a blender with some ice and you have roughly 800 liquid calories.
