Top 5 Budget-Friendly Foods
for a Healthier Gut
Budget-Friendly Gut-Booster #1: Sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are packed with countless vitamins and nutrients we need for great health — including B vitamins, potassium, and almost 400% of your daily vitamin C.
Best of all, they’re loaded with gut-friendly fiber, which is what your gut needs to promote more healthy bacteria…
And at 90¢ a pound, sweet potatoes are one of the cheapest, healthiest, and tastiest foods you can find at the grocery store.
Budget-Friendly Gut-Booster #2: Goat milk yogurt.
When it comes to yogurt, always opt for a big jar of plain goat milk yogurt.
This is one of the healthiest yogurts you can find… because it’s PACKED with fat-torching MCTs, plus tons of probiotics.
(As you know, probiotics support everything from smoother digestion to less bloating, and even help reduce cravings for unhealthy foods.)
Not to mention, goat milk yogurt is usually around five bucks for a really big jar — making every serving less than $1.
Now, if you don't love the flavor, you can add salt, pepper, lemon juice, and mint for an amazing dip… or a little honey, or better yet, Allulose sweetener, to make it a gut-friendly dessert.
(Just stay away from fake yogurts with added sugar, fruit in the bottom of the cup, and 0% Greek yogurts. These are all FAKE gut foods, and I don’t recommend them.)
Next up, we have…
Budget-Friendly Gut-Booster #3: Eggs.
For years, eggs got a bad rap because they were blamed for heart issues… but modern evidence shows this is not the case.
In fact, eggs contain a nutrient called choline that is mandatory for good brain health…
And 90% of Americans are deficient in it.
Choline supports almost every aspect of your health, but it's also a metabolism booster… meaning it helps your body burn fat and convert it to energy.
And at about $7 for a dozen eggs…
This is one of the cheapest ways to get lean protein into your diet — which you can feel good about eating.
Tip: When selecting your eggs, make sure they’re “Certified Humane Pasture-raised Omega-3” eggs. This label ensures the hens were fed the best food, and had the most room to roam.
Now, let’s not forget…
Budget-Friendly Gut-Booster #4: Broccoli.
Broccoli is a SUPER healthy vegetable, usually costs about $1 a pound… and it provides many vitamins and minerals your body needs.
It’s rich in vitamin C, which helps fight aging and supports your immune system. Just one cup provides 135% of your daily needs.
Plus, broccoli is packed with vitamin K and folate, which are crucial for maintaining your energy, strength, and vitality as you age…
So feel free to enjoy broccoli raw or cooked, and add it to salads, casseroles, and soups.
And of course, last but not least…
Budget-Friendly Gut-Booster #5: Onions.
At most stores, onions can be purchased for about $1 a pound…
And they’re well known for being rich in age-fighting compounds — like manganese, vitamin B6, and potassium — which help keep you feeling young, strong, mobile, active, and healthy.
A small portion of onions can go a long way… and their versatility and flavor make them a great addition to almost any dish. |
