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!

    Haha !

    You should be able to follow his video on YouTube.

    I always stress on the fact it’s Gordon Ramsay’s recipe because it’s objectively the best recipe you could get. He gives a creamy touch with a spoon of crème fraîche at the very end.

      Great recipe, I’ve used it in the past but we don’t buy eggs anymore so eggs are deffo a treat for when I eat out!
