I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved.
Is there any food that breaks this theory?
Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances
Some popular suggestions include
- fruits (in season) and vegetables
- lentils, beans, rice
- mushrooms
- chicken
- just eat in moderation
Edit 2: Thanks for the various answers. Now there are a lot of (mostly bean-based) recipes for everyone to try out!
Also someone made a community for cheap healthy food after seeing this topic!
@nijntjefan I think curry would would fit this description. Assuming you make it yourself, the ingredients aren’t expensive, especially if you opt for legumes instead of meat.
hmmm curry is delicious but i’ve never made it myself. It sounds like a lot of work to get the various spices.
Curry is my favorite dish. It’s stupid easy to make, and you can create many variations. It tastes great with or without meat. Also I make all my curries with coconut milk, it’s a key ingredient.
For the spices you don’t have to make it all by yourself, try to find a local/online store that sells different blends ?
