- You can boil vegetables and just add a simple seasoning overtop in order for it to have some flavour.
- Some garlic, salt and pepper (and maybe a squirt of lemon juice) can add some great taste to your vegetables while maintaining the vegetable’s nutrients.
- Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season, because they will be fresher and cheaper!
- Sweet potatoes have great nutritional value and are tasty too!
- Buy a bag of baby carrots when they are on sale, and have them as a snack! You can also do this with celery, broccoli, tomatoes, cauliflower as well as red, green and yellow peppers, to name a few.
- Microwave popcorn is a great snack and sometimes is cheaper than buying chips.
- Buy no-name chips and snacks. They are just as tasty as the name brand ones and cheaper as well.
- Instead of buying baby carrots, buy a bag of large carrots, peel and cut them into sticks. They make a great snack when dipped into salad dressing.
- Make your own trail mix by buying granola, nuts, dried fruit and what ever else you like from a bulk food store, rather than buying it pre-made in the grocery store.
