Whole-Food, Plant-Based on $5 a Day—Day 5
Today is day 5 of my 10-day “$5 Budget Vegan” challenge. I wanted to see if it was possible to live on a healthy whole-food, plan based diet for $5 or less a day.
And so far, with a bit of planning I’ve learned that it is possible. (Read more about the challenge here)
Every day has brought new insights on what it’s like, living on a low budget.
Today is the first day I haven’t needed to do any shopping. I have plenty of ingredients on hand to play with, because I was able to do a bigger shop yesterday.
I also have plenty to eat!
Which meant, today I was able to cook, not just for myself, but for my boyfriend too.
I don’t know about you, but one of the pleasures of cooking is sharing food with others, whether its your loved ones or friends or community.
And even on a budget of $5 a day, it was great to be able to do this.
My menu for the day was:
Corn Grits with cashews, apple and raisins.
Roasted Sweet Potato & Cabbage with Cilantro Cashew Sauce
Leftover Brown Lentil Soup
See you tomorrow!
