It is possible for you to enjoy healthy food without breaking the budget. There are several affordable, healthy food choices that are good for people who have diabetes.

Eat more eggs

Eggs are versatile and affordable. You can enjoy them by themselves, or as main ingredients in a variety of delicious dishes, including quiches, omelets, frittatas, or deviled eggs.

Make salads a meal

Salads are highly versatile and will not break the bank. You can add proteins such as eggs, shrimp, chicken, ham, turkey, or cheese. Consider adding other healthy ingredients to make your ideal, tasty, and affordable salad. Remember to choose a dressing that is low in carbs.

Choose chicken

Chicken is such a versatile food that you can prepare it in a number of healthy ways. Consider purchasing a large package of the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken breast tenders. You can make several healthy meals from one bag of chicken. Purchase the store brand to save even more money.

Consider the local farmer’s market

Consider shopping at a local farmer’s market or fruit and vegetable stand for seasonal, fresh, locally-grown healthy vegetables and fruits that do not have the high markup of supermarket items.
