Healthy, Cheap Vegan Breakfasts that Actually Taste Good
The two most common assumptions about a vegan diet are that it's expensive and all the recipes are complicated. But that couldn't be further from the truth. If you really want to stick to a vegan diet, you'll find that your meals can be incredibly simple and, if planned ahead, cheap, especially when it comes to a vegan breakfast. In fact, you can make a week's worth of light vegan breakfasts from Whole Foods for less than $ 25. So, whether you're starting out with a vegan lifestyle or just looking for healthy and cheap breakfast recipes, here's a weekly meal plan to help you get your head around it. Oh, and did we mention that all of these recipes take less than 15 minutes to prepare? Even if you're not vegan, you can't say it's not an attractive offer.Let's start with everything you need from Whole Foods, right? To reduce costs at Whole Foods, buy from their own brand called 365 Everyday Value. Frozen fruits and vegetables are also great savings for vegans or those who want to add more food to their diet; the nutritional value of frozen foods is roughly equal to that of fresh ones, they last much longer and are usually cheaper. You can also save money by buying certain ingredients in bulk from Whole Foods, such as dried fruits, almonds, and chia seeds.But you don't need to know too much about the ingredients to make these hearty, easy vegan breakfasts for the week. All you need is these seven products listed below.Shopping list:1 Pack 365 Organic Instant Oat Flakes, 18 oz, $ 3.191 Sachet 365 16-ounce Berry Puree, $ 3.796 bananas, $ 1.68¼ pound organic chia seeds wholesale, $ 3.74 (at $ 14.99 per pound)1 jar 365 crunchy peanut butter, $ 2.49Whole Foods Market Whole Grain Bread, $ 3.491 Carton 365 Organic Unsweetened Almond Milk, 32 oz, $ 3.69What is the total cost of ingredients for a week?

That's why we used a package of almond milk that we already had in the office, instead of store-brand almond milk. But you understand the picture.)When you return from Whole Foods, you will only need to do one prep operation. Peel two of the six bananas you bought, put them in a plastic bag or some kind of airtight container, and put them in the freezer. Everything else can be put away in the pantry, refrigerator or freezer, as you see fit.Once everything is organized, you can start cooking.

Вы знаете, как приготовить тосты, верно?К концу недели у вас все еще должны остаться остатки цельнозернового хлеба, арахисового масла и миндального молока — если только вы не добавляли их в кофе или чай, что я бы, честно говоря, настоятельно рекомендовал.
