Being able to buy enough healthy food to feed you and your family is expensive. No matter if you’re buying ingredients for a single meal or stocking up the fridge with enough food for a couple weeks, clean and organic goods are almost always on the pricey side.
But what if I told you that there is a way to get high-quality healthy foods that are not only delicious, but affordable as well? Yup! They exist.
You can kiss the unnecessarily expensive brands goodbye, and instead, invest in these 3 brands making it more accessible to eat healthy, whole, and clean.
Banza
Do you remember when everyone first started going on their plant-based journeys? They were making any and everything with cauliflower! While the concept was smart, we quickly learned that cauliflower can’t replace everything! (Like mashed potatoes. Really, yall?)
Anyway, Banza busted the versatility door wide open when they popped up with a full-blown collection of chickpea-based staple foods. Spaghetti noodles, pizza crust, pre-made pizza, mac and cheese, flavored rice—you name it, they probably have it.
Why is this great? Well, a number of reasons. First off, Banza’s chickpea products don’t taste much different than what we’re used to, so there’s not a huge adjustment required. Secondly, it’s delicious! But third, and most importantly? Super healthy and inexpensive.
Banza goods have a lot more protein, a lot more fiber, but a lot less carbs. You can get a whole cart of healthy, chickpea goodness for $40 or less. Sounds good, right?
Happy Belly
When it comes to shopping, Amazon is quite literally the King of Everything. And recently, the popular e-commerce platform stepped up their game by introducing their budget-friendly food brand, Happy Belly, via their online food delivery service, Amazon Fresh.
Happy Belly has everything. Nuts, yogurt, pasta, cookies, frozen vegetables, cooking oil, and a whole bunch of other stuff. The best part is that they have cage-free, organic, and preservative-free offerings so lower prices don’t have to mean unhealthy.
So if you find other organic, health-conscious options to be too expensive and out of your dietary league, Happy Belly is probably your best bet.
Plus, you can get it delivered straight to your house via Amazon. And the deal is a little sweeter than Instacart because all you have to do is spend $35 or more, and you’ll get your groceries with no additional delivery charge.
Thrive Market
You can find a subscription service for pretty much anything these days, but did you know that you could get a whole box of organic goods delivered to your home at wholesale prices? Yup, that’s the whole point of healthy and inexpensive marketplace, Thrive Market.
Over at Thrive, they know living with wellness in mind can be expensive. So they’ve set up a system where you sign up for a $5/month membership to gain access to all the health foods, clean beauty, and safe household items you need, at a cheaper price.
From there, you can build your box based on your specific needs (although all options are organic, non-GMO and sustainable products) and have it shipped right to your door.
