There’s no reason going gluten-free should be costly. Budget-conscious foodie Daphne Lewis offers her best low-cost methods for keeping a tasty and healthy gluten-free way of life.
“I hear people say eating gluten-free is too pricey, but that’s not true if you know where to shop and what to cook,” Daphne notes.
Smart Shopping for Affordable Gluten-Free Foods
Daphne advises concentrating on naturally gluten-free whole foods, which are typically more reasonably priced than specialist gluten-free products:
Grains: Great basics are brown rice, quinoa, and corn. Nutritious and reasonably priced are eggs, beans, lentils, and poultry. Fruits and vegetables fit any budget whether fresh, frozen, or tinned.
Easy and Affordable Gluten-Free Meal Ideas
Breakfast calls for overnight oats with strawberries or scrambled eggs with avocado toast on gluten-free bread. Lunch might be a budget-conscious chickpea stir-fry or a black bean and quinoa salad.
Dinner is hearty vegetable soup with gluten-free rice or cornbread or rice and beans including roasted vegetables. Snacks might be homemade gluten-free granola bars, popcorn, peanut butter with apple slices, or something else entirely.
Meal Prep Tips to Save Money
Daphne advises batch cooking, freezer leftovers, and creating homemade gluten-free substitutes for commercially purchased goods. “You can make a large batch of gluten-free muffins or tortillas at home for a fraction of the cost,” she says.
Conclusion: Healthy and Affordable
“Eating gluten-free on a budget is totally possible with the right approach,” Daphne notes. Little preparation will help you to have tasty and healthy food without going broke.
