Healthy Start
Afternoon Everyone.
I got thinking this morning about it being a fine balance between saving money and eating healthily. For breakfast, we always have fresh fruit, yoghurt and nuts. We like to start the day healthily but this is by no means a cheap meal. Toast or cereal would be much cheaper but we try to eat as healthily as we can. As I have said previously, we pick up some fruit in the evenings from our local coop because they do some fabulous reductions in the evening. We also try to grow a little fruit to save money and, if all else fails, we do buy from the supermarket but tend to buy whichever fruit is on offer. Luckily we will eat pretty much any type of fruit. The only fruit that I buy even if its not on offer is bananas as all three of us have at least one a day. Bananas have lots of health benefits, the main one being a rich source of potassium. We also have nuts on our breakfast for the health benefits too. Hubby has almonds but I prefer walnuts.

What meal or foods will you not compromise on? Do you try to eat healthily? Do you think about what health benefits your food has?
Until tomorrow

I will try to read all comments and reply. Please be polite and kind. Thanks :)
I love a bargain and all for saving money, but I never go without my five a day, yes it would be easy and cheap to eat reduced breads and crumpets etc, but like you I like a healthy start, we have toast, pancakes etc just for a weekend treat.
ReplyDeleteHubby will sometimes have bacon at the weekends as a treat too. x
ReplyDeleteBreakfast has to be oatmeal with blueberries on it...no sugar or milk. We try to go 'lower' carb and we eat lots of saldads and meat. You but your sweet bippy we think about the nutritional value of what we eat.
ReplyDeleteI love porridge in the winter made with skimmed milk and blueberries on. There is less fresh fruit at a decent price during the winter months. I did try substituting for some tinned and frozen fruit but we didn't like it. I do use frozen berries in recipes though. x
