Affordable Healthy Meals On The Go

 

 Affordable Healthy Meals On The Go

We’re back in school. You may be running around trying to make it on time. How do you feed your kids healthy meals and snacks without it costing a fortune?

Here’s some ideas that are quick, easy, and convenient.

Planning does help and it usually Saves you Time and Money!

Here’s what Drew and I do. No cook meal.

We bought a rotisserie chicken ($10 for an already cooked organic chicken at Abby’s Health and Nutrition), hummus and guacamole ($4 each at Wal-Mart) and baby carrots and mini cucumbers and celery sticks ($2-4 at Wal-Mart), and apples and oranges (I like Fuji organic apples because they’re sweet, $6 a bag).  

For more protein, we also bought hard-boiled eggs (2 for $2). 

We went shopping at Wal-Mart and kept the food in a cooler.

*Total cost $44 for several days’ worth of food. Organic, healthy, and simple.

The Plan

Chicken for dinner

Snack (before and after Krav) 2 eggs, carrots, and cucumbers with hummus and/or guacamole, and an apple and orange

Dinner-Chicken with vegetables and fruit for dessert. I also like chicken with guac and hummus.

Water to drink (no cost, I fill my water bottles for the week to save time).

*If you need flavor or an added boost, can add fruit i.e. lemon, or mint or EmergenC, or use seltzer water or coconut water.

We turn the leftovers into chicken salad and chicken soup, which can sometimes last us for the rest of the week.

Organic beans and brown rice are also a nice option at 18 cents a meal ($ 0.18).
