Frozen fruit is just as nutritious as fresh fruit – sometimes even more so
Plant-based, vegan or veggie food is not expensive. Most of the things everyone eats every day (whether they are a meat eater, veggie or vegan) are made from plants. It’s often the meat and animal products that are the expensive parts of a meal. Eggs are a cheap source of protein unavailable to vegans, yes, but beans and legumes can be found incredibly cheaply, especially if you buy them in bulk. If we’re talking about really, really cheap ready meals or fast food, then yes, it might be easier to find cheap non-vegan versions. But with a bit of knowledge about how to cook, you can absolutely make healthy vegan meals on a budget.
