“IT’S EASY TO EAT WELL ON A BUDGET – BUY FRESH SEASONAL PRODUCE AND MAKE SOME SMART PROTEIN SWAPS.” Kim Coverdale, Food Director Being on a budget doesn’t mean skimping on your health. On the contrary, highly processed foods have fewer nutrients and can be more expensive than meals made using fresh produce. Buy cheaper cuts of meat which are perfect for winter slow-cooking, or swap meat for more inexpensive sources of protein like eggs, canned fish, or pulses and beans. Pick up seasonal fruit and veg while they are at their cheapest and best. Or snap up frozen veg that can be more nutritious and cheaper than fresh. Check out our budget recipes, right, for inspiration and turn to p16 for my top 10 budget tips. FIBRE by the…
