When you're trying to eat clean on a budget, it can be tough to figure out how to make sure you're getting enough calories.

Here's our top 7 tips for eating clean on a budget while still getting the nutrients you need!

1. Buy in bulk when possible ( use coupons)

2. Buy frozen fruits and vegetables

3. Eat whole foods

4. Drink water instead of sodas or juices

5. Make your own smoothies and other juices

6. Check out local farmers markets for produce and other foods that are in season or good deals on bulk items like nuts and seeds (this is especially helpful for people who live in an area where there are limited grocery stores).

7. Use spices liberally. they add flavor without adding calories or fat! Try rosemary, thyme, sage, cumin, turmeric… the list goes on! And if you have any leftovers after making a meal and want to microwave them for 15 seconds, just add some extra water to the pan. it'll help keep them from burning on top of whatever else is in there too!

Eating clean on a budget is a challenge because as we all know, good food is very expensive especially organic ones, but it's not impossible, one additional tip I would add is to make use of frozen fruits and vegetables. they are just as nutritious as fresh produce and can be more affordable, especially when you're buying out of season. Plus, they won't spoil as quickly, so you can keep them on hand for longer periods of time.

Another thing to consider is shopping at local farmer's markets or community-supported agriculture programs. these can be great options for buying fresh, seasonal produce at a lower cost and you will also help local farmers to sell their produce.

Eating clean doesn't have to break the bank but it is advisable as you are improvising to eat healthy food you should put in work to upgrade your income so that you will buy even more organic food
