How much does it cost to eat COMPLETELY healthy?

[523206720]

As a young adult, I enjoyed eating flavoured popcorn cause I thought it tasted good. I would order 2 large bag fulls of it in one day. Now about 8 years later, I can't eat even a small bag because my gums become inflamed when this happens. Today I drank a large kale, spinach, blueberry and gingseng smoothie before eating my medium sized pop corn and had no problems whatsoever with inflamed gums so I assumed the antioxidents in the smoothie were making me stronger. However this extremely healthy drink that I consumed cost me over $10 dollars!!! I don't thin I can afford to drink one every single day. I also have to pay for transportaion to the mall to buy my drink. I like to eat protein but protein sources that are low in fat are usually extremely expensive. Raw fish costs about $6 - $15 dollars a day and with the cheaper brands, there is a high risk of getting sick. I am trying to decide how much money I should invest in food and how much I should invest in clothes, education, parties and furniture.

It depends on how you budget. Just eat more raw foods , not like going fully raw vegan but introducing raw foods to your diet. It can be affordable. FullyrawKristina has a couple videos on how to eat raw on a budget. Also if your gums are inflamed i would try dabbing them with apple cider vinegar. Also plant based diets equal having better oral hygene. So eat less meat and more fruits and veggies.

There does not need to be extra cost if you eat normal healthy things, not artificial ones. Eat fruit for breakfast, and lots of vegetables for the other meals. Eat only healthy carbs (brown bread, rice, noddles, not sugar or sweetened things). Limit proteins and only eat fresh meat or fish.

Yes it is quite expensive unfortunately, look how much more organic food is compared to mass produced with pesticides on it, I try to mix it up a bit is all you can do unless you're rich

Oh dear, is a smoothie and popcorn really a meal to your? I can't imagine it would be that expensive to eat healthier... sandwiches or fruit aren't that expensive :D

you could probably make that smoothie at home for 2.50 $
