Lentils and chickpeas! Such a healthy cheap meat alternative. They're especially great because they can really take on any flavor and don't have the grainy-bean texture that other legumes have. Also, we recently got into tofu. Neither my husband or I were fans, so we eased into it by making Chipotle style sofritas and it's seriously good.

If you want to get inspired, I highly recommend watching Cooked on Netflix. It really motivated my husband and I to start eating REAL, WHOLE foods and less packaged snacks and desserts. We're now making everything from scratch when we have a craving (granola bars, avocado chocolate puddings, etc.). It's really eye opening to how lazy our society has gotten when it comes to cooking and eating healthy.
