July 29, 2018 Mitchell BalkerLeave a Comment

Fast food vs healthy food prices and I can already hear you guys thinking: boring? No worries, like you already know I keep my blogs light and simple?

So why did I write this blog fast food vs healthy food prices? Simple because my website is also about ‘affordable’ healthy food planning so I would like to show you how you can plan your hard earned money better than wasting it on fast food.

And in the blue corner we have chubby fast food and in the red corner we have Hercules healthy food so lets this fast food vs healthy food prices contest begin and let’s get ready to rumbleeeeee?

Saving money

So let me give you some examples of how you can eat healthier while saving your hard earned money.

Example 1

Fast food Meal deal £2.20

With this, you will get 5 chicken wings, chips (as they call it in the UK) sauce, and a can of soda

So let me show you what you can buy with the £2.20 or whichever currency you are

A pack of 5 slices Whole wheat pita- £0,50
A pack of 6 tomatoes- £0,69
A pack of half fat Mozzarella – £ 0.95
Total: £2, 14

First put everything mise and place like the French like to say it

– Slice the tomatoes
– Slice the mozzarella in not too thick slices
– Cut the green onions in thin rings

Instructions:

– Toast or heat the pita light brown
– Once the pitas are ready to spread some butter or margarine with modest, please?
– After this add 2 to 3 slices mozzarella on the toast
– After this add the tomatoes on top of the mozzarella
– After this sprinkle some green onions on the tomatoes
– And after this sprinkle some salt and pepper on top of it

And there you have it:

A cheaper healthier meal and if you buy 1 more pack of pita of 0, 50 you can enjoy this healthier meal more days then just 1 junk food meal

Example 2

I am not going to call out names, the only thing that I will say is: I’m loving it?

OK let’s go for the good old large big mac meal in the UK you will pay for a large meal £ 5, 09

So let me show you what you can buy with the £5, 09 or whichever currency you are using:

– Whole wheat Fusilli pasta pasta (500 gram)- £0,56
– Cherry tomatoes- £1
– Feta cheese- £1,35
– Pesto- £ 1
–

Total of £ 3,91

First put everything mise and place like the French like to say it:)

Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half
Cut the feta cheese in small cubes
Boil the water with some salt and olive oil

Instructions:

Cook the pasta 3 1/5 min to 4 min
Once done rinse it straight a way with cold water so it doesn’t cooks anymore further
Once you have done this put it back in the pan with the cherry tomatoes,feta cheese and pesto and mix everything up together. (If you feel it is still missing something ad to your own taste more seasoning)
You can top it of with some fresh basil if you like:)

And there you have it,with all these ingredients you can eat way more,healthier for that hard earned money, what more do you want?

So there you have it fast food vs healthy food prices made easy just for you:)

Cheap , Healthy, Easy dinner ideas volume 1

July 22, 2018 Mitchell Balker2 Comments

Hi everyone,

In today’s blog, I will start with cheap healthy easy dinner ideas.

We might think that healthy food is always very expensive but that’s not always true. So, I’m happy to show you this cheap healthy easy dinner ideas blog, so you can see for yourself that’s it not so hard.

And again, it’s all about planning/preparation? so you can have a healthy meal every single day.

So like you know me not to much chit chat without any example so let’s crack on and let me show you a cheap, healthy, easy dinner ideas, enjoy?

P.S I’m not vegan but I don’t necessarily need animal protein every day. So no worries my meat lovers?

When to prep?

I would say weekends or Wednesdays (see my Cheap weekly meal plan ideas! Blog why)

What do you need? And roughly cost?

Roughly £7,63

-Which will last you a whole week? Put in a fridge for 2 days and pop the rest into the freezer.

The only thing I suggest is to get vegetables every 2 days so you mix it up.

Brown rice

#Tip- Find out on the internet where you can buy this the cheapest. For example, I found out one on the ASDA website for just £1,49 for 1 kilo

Broccoli ( 2 good size of broccoli’s should be enough for 2 or more people)

#Tip- You can find this very cheap in your local grocery stores. I have found for example one on the Tesco website. Frozen green peas for just £0,90 for 900 gr

Kidney beans (3 cans for 2 people should be enough)

– If you can’t find it you can use black beans, chickpeas, brown beans as well no problem

#Tip- You can find this very cheap in your local grocery stores. I have found for example one on the Tesco website for just £0,30 for 1 can of 400 gr

Curry sauce

#Tip- Also this you can find very cheap in your local grocery stores. I have found for example one on the Sainsbury’s website for just £0,55 for 900 gr

Salt

Black pepper

1 Onion

1 Garlic

2 Tomatoes

– You can get all these ingredients very cheap

Instructions

1st step

Everyone makes rice in different ways but I prefer this way.

Wash the rice and let it dry
Heat a pan with olive oil and start baking the rice until it gets a darker color
Once darker ad water to it, my mum taught me that if you put your finger in the water and your finger touches the rice the water should not be higher than the first line on your finger
Lower down the fire and let it cook
Once the water disappears check how soft the rice is.If it’s still too hard ad some more water and let it cook longer until its right

2nd step

First, cut the garlic and onions in little chunks and put them together
Cut the tomatoes in small chunks
Heat up a pan with olive oil
Once hot add the garlic and onion to it and stir it until its get a little bit brown
Add the tomatoes to it and stir it short
After this, all add the kidney beans to it and stir it short browner
After this add the curry sauce to it
After this add some salt and pepper how you prefer
Let it slowly cook for around 20 min

3rd step

Add some olive oil to a pan and heat it up slow
Add the green beans to it, stir it short and add some salt and pepper to it and cook it very short so you keep all the good stuff in it, like vitamins, minerals etc.

And there you have it, a delicious, cheap, healthy meal for around £7,63

quick and simple. Healthy food doesn’t have to be expensive?

So there you have it: cheap and healthy easy dinner ideas, made easy just for you:)

God Bless

But again I have to go back to my daughter who inspired me to write blogs like this why lemons are good for you. I always loved to see how little children react the first time when they get that sour lemon for the first time in their mouth, those faces are priceless.

Not my daughter though ? My wife was filming and I just cut a lemon in half, squeezed it a little more so all those sour juices came out to play. I gave it to my little girl and we were waiting for that moment to come on… come on…. Come on… absolutely nothing just stared at me ice cold and looked at me like: was that it? priceless?

So let’s crack on, not too much chit chat and let me show you why Lemons are good for you and more

Why Strawberries are good for you?

July 21, 2018 Mitchell BalkerLeave a Comment

Why strawberries are good for you? Read on and I will show you why?

I love healthy fruits and vegetables. I just love it but strawberries really started to get interesting to me when I saw how my 1-year-old daughter just loves strawberries. You can put down a whole box of strawberries and she will kill it, so I had to write a blog about why strawberries are good for you?

So with this blog ‘why strawberries are good food you’ I will make sure all you strawberry lovers have a simple, relax read on why strawberries are good for you?

So let’s crack on not too much chit chat and let me show you why strawberries are good for you

Amazing benefits of strawberries

Where to buy strawberries?

You can buy strawberries in your local but if you would like to have so much more I would suggest you buy them from your local markets. You literally get so much more for a better price.

Healthy strawberry idea

Strawberries in salads

I never heard of it until a friend of mine shared it with me and I was hooked. Strawberries in salad really it maybe sounds strange but it’s really delicious.
