This may not be your idea of a great breakfast (it may be in the future though 😉), but the principle can work with whatever you enjoy eating.
The message isn’t that everybody should eat eggs, kimchi and sourdough.
It’s about getting back into the kitchen, reclaiming some control over our health and keeping more of our hard-earned money rather than continually handing it to large food companies selling products designed for convenience, long shelf life and repeat consumption, not necessarily our long-term wellbeing.
This entire plate cost approximately £2.93. And I didn’t choose the cheapest ingredients.
It includes organic eggs, branded fermented kimchi, liquid egg white, sourdough, vegetables and healthy fats.
Healthy eating can become expensive, but it doesn’t have to involve exotic powders, endless supplements or a trolley full of “wellness” products.
Start with foods you already like. Build your meal around a good source of protein, add fibre and colour, then include enough healthy fat to make it enjoyable and satisfying.
Cooking more food at home doesn’t require perfection or hours in the kitchen. It simply gives you greater control over the ingredients, the cost and what your food is doing for your health.
Perhaps the real question isn’t whether healthy eating costs too much but how much we are already paying for food that keeps us hungry and gives very little back.
