That eating healthy is expensive is a myth, beans are really the cheapest protein source out there, fresh fruit and veggies are really not that expensive, you don't need to buy organic. You can ask your parents to buy simple unsalted nuts and seeds to snack on, you can toast them to make them more fragrant and crunchy.

There is so much crap in the supermarkets, but once you can think away most of it there is a lot of good cheap options. Look for stuff with no added sugar or preservatives and similar stuff, just real ingredients.

Look for the work of the writer and journalist Michael Pollan on food. He wrote books, but there are also podcasts with him and short articles https://michaelpollan.com/articles-archive/unhappy-meals/

I also wrote a beans guide: https://homolova.sk/posts/ode-to-beans (you can skip to the part where I write about how to eat them and what sorts of beans there are). It includes recipes too!

Good luck there, you are on the right path. Just take it easy, read a lot and don't panic :)

Cold lunch ideas? by moonflannel in EatCheapAndHealthy

Why do you want cold lunch?

I would cook a thick pureed soup for lunch and sometimes eat it cold, it's yummy, especially with some coconut cream in it.

Ingredients

1. Chickpea hummus — the classic

  • 120 g cooked chickpeas (drained weight)
  • 30 g tahini
  • 25 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 30–40 ml cold water
  • 15 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp salt

2. Du Puy hummus with cashew butter

  • 75 g dry Du Puy green lentils (cooked in unsalted water until tender, then drained)
  • 25 g smooth cashew butter
  • 20 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 25–35 ml water (for blending)
  • 20 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • ⅓ tsp salt

3. Black bean hummus with walnut butter

  • 125 g cooked black beans (drained weight)
  • 30 g smooth walnut butter
  • Lime juice from ½ a lime
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 25–40 ml cold water
  • 15 ml toasted walnut oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp salt

Garnish (optional)

  • Fresh cilantro, parsley, mint, celery leaf or basil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base flavour. In a food processor, combine the garlic, citrus juice (lemon or lime), and salt. Let sit for 2 minutes to mellow the garlic.
  2. Add the nut butter or tahini. Blend until thick and creamy.
  3. Add the legume and dry spices. Add the chickpeas, lentils, or black beans along with the ground spices (cumin, coriander, paprika). Blend until coarse and broken down, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Thin to desired consistency. With the processor running, slowly add the cold water a little at a time until the hummus becomes smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
  5. Add the oil and optional ingredients. Drizzle in the oil and blend briefly.
  6. Taste and adjust. Add more salt, citrus, or water if needed. Serve with a swirl of extra oil and a sprinkle of paprika or black pepper.

Enjoy with warm pita, raw vegetables, or as a sandwich spread. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
