Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?
Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?
I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved.
Is there any food that breaks this theory?
Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances
Some popular suggestions include
- fruits (in season) and vegetables
- lentils, beans, rice
- mushrooms
- chicken
- just eat in moderation
Edit 2: Thanks for the various answers. Now there are a lot of (mostly bean-based) recipes for everyone to try out!
Also someone made a community for cheap healthy food after seeing this topic!
You're viewing a single thread.
Jimmy Joy. Cheap (under 2 euros per meal), delicious and you can't really get any more nutritious than that. It has all the recommended nutrients in one go.
is this an ad? :/
Lol, no. I can see why you would think that, but I am genuinely enthusiastic about it. I just had one for lunch actually :D and I just recommend it to people whenever I have the chance. It's like astronaut food. You mix the powder with water and you're done for the next 4-6 hours. It's not for everyone though. I've met people who try it and don't feel full, and need to eat again shortly after. Also, they have way too many products and I just use the vanilla high-protein powder. But this was just an advice from one human to another :)
I just checked and sadly the shipping is super expensive for where I live :( still looks cool tho
Ah that sucks. I assumed you were living in the Netherlands because of your nijntje icon :P
Well anyone can be a fan of nijntje without being in the Netherlands!
Yes but outside of the Netherlands she's known as Miffy
I don't see my country on their shipping list at all.
Different countries have different alternatives. The concept is 'powdered meal replacement '
+1, jimmy joy is great
