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!
Cheap and definitely delicious, maybe not so healthy as it’s a carbs explosion. I have pasta once a week and pizza at most once a week. There are some interesting variations like chickpeas pasta, sourdough pizza etc… but then you get more healthy and less tasty in my opinion. You might love it 🤷♂️
