$50 Grocery Haul - Affordable Meal Prep Recipes

- Have you ever heard somebody say "eating healthy is expensive"? What if I told you that it doesn't have to be!
"Healthy eating" looks different for everybody. As a Registered Dietitian, I try to teach people that eating "healthy" doesn't necessarily have to be organic salads and kale smoothies. Do you really want to eat like that for the rest of your life? I know I don't!
Eating healthy is more about finding a balance between the foods that nourish your body, while also enjoying those fun foods in moderation to keep you happy.
With my recipes, I teach people to find that balance. Eating low calorie, and high protein, without sacrificing flavor.
But more importantly, I try to keep it as affordable as I can for my followers.
I spent less than $50 on the ingredients in this video, and I'll be making 3 different recipes with them. Those 3 recipes will yield 18 delicious meals!
The recipes will be posted at a later date, either here or on my Patreon.

Grocery lists that go with your meal plans would be cool or in the future maybe an app that lets you select recipes for the week then it generates a meal plan and grocery list? (Then you could check off what you already have at home)
As a single mom who works full time and runs a small business going into its busy season, this kind of content provides so much value. I bulk prepare a couple of recipes at a time and freeze most of it so we always have a variety of nutritious meals that can be ready in minutes. Well worth the $5/mo.
Thanks so much Katie! It sounds like you have your hands full :)
The frito bowl around here is called a Petro. They were introduced at the 1982 Worlds Fair. They started as a simple bag of fritos, and then chili was added. There are several Petros around. They also have the best Iced Tea ever!
Omg you made sancocho on a budget!! I'm Puerto Rican and let me tell you, it's a labor of love when my family and I make it. And so much goes into it that it is not cheap to make. Looks really good. Glad I found you.
When I said “sancocho” blew my mind because I just started watching ur videos and I see ur videos on TikTok too
"Not sure which one of my platforms the recipe will be going to" No problem. I subscribe to you on youtube, follow you on tiktok and you're the reason I have patreon account. Keep up the great work.
Haha, then you are covered! I appreciate your support! :)
I found going to Mexican markets has really good deals on meat fresh from the butcher and vegetables. Also the spices are bigger for a good price. Everything else you could buy cheaper from Walmart or target.
AS a small veggie farmer, colored peppers are more expensive because they take longer to ripen and then have more susceptibility for disease or pests the longer it stays in the field.
Our home is diabetic, heart healthy, sodium restricted. We love your recipes! I live being able to serve meals that have the riggt amount of carbs without thinking.
I just discovered you yesterday! I joined your Patreon and I love these videos. Please keep them coming! Thank you!!!
I love this! Great info!!
Thank you Dawn. I'm happy to hear that.
Love your recipes! I know making food affordable is one of your objectives so I thought I'd share one way I make chicken broth more affordable. Obviously making your own with leftover bones and vegetable scraps would be the cheapest and most nutritious option but who has time for that? I use Better than Bouillon and water when a recipe asks for chicken or beef broth. Even with the price increase 32 oz of water with 3 tsp BTB costs about 50 cents as opposed to 1.50 for a box of broth. It's not much but it adds up and BTB is so convenient. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate your recipes for so many reasons-the low cost, the variety of foods, easy prep, healthy macros-and my family appreciates the fantastic taste 😊. Every time I make one of your recipes, my husband says “Another home run, honey!” I have a great record thanks to you, Zach! 💜
Good work! These videos help especially with inflation hitting food prices.
The rises in food cost have been crazy lately!
Fantastic I love your recipes and you save me a chunk of money Thanks!!!!!!
I’ve had such an unhealthy relationship with food because I always had the “good food” “bad food” stuck in my head and watching your videos has made me so relieved that I can eat pretty much anything and still lose weight. So. Thank you! 🙏
Looking forward to the frito bowl recipe! Love that you make eating healthy approachable & easy for busy, regular people to fit into their lives. Thank you for all you do!
Zach Coen! I am so glad I found you. Your meals are easy, portion controlled and so helpful for me. I am restarting my health and fitness journey and have a ton of weight to drop. These tips and recipes help ease the stress and boredom of preparing delicious and balanced meals. And, yes...I joined your Patreon. THANK YOU
It's great that u show items and recipes. Tks
Love this type of content!
DOOD Heck yes! Keep doing these!
Thanks for your content and videos!!
Keep ‘em coming!!!🎉🎉
This is great! I’m looking forward to these recipes!
I've gotten into buying whole chickens when on sale and then cooking them in the crock pot or instant pot. shred meat- easy to use in recipes. and pound for pound whole chickens are cheaper most of the time.
This is fabulous! Thank you!
As always your content is excellent!! Much Love brotha! ❤
Thanks so much Russell 🙏💪
Love love love. Thanks so much, Zach.
Thank you for top quality content!
Thank you..the sancocho was delicious
I can’t wait to try your recipes
Love this type of video Thanks Zac
Can't wait for that tortellini soup tho! All looks so amazing!
Right!? I need him to post it like tomorrow 😂
Coming soon! I promise.
This grad student & registered nurse thanks you from the bottom of my heart for this. I LOVE the crockpot meals! Anything I can do to eat a hearty, healthy meal is 🔑, particularly in this cold & flu season. New subscriber, keep the content coming! Any pescado bowl recipes?? Also, thank you for advocating against diet culture & re-directing the attention to macros & balance when it comes to food. Many ppl have “disordered eating”. Your channel is no pressure, to the point content.
These look amazing! I just spend 280$ for the week for groceries and I really need to cut that back...that's only for two people 🙈
Love your recipes and content!
Good stuff! Thank you!!
Can't wait to try the chicken tortellini 😋
Definitely need to make that burrito bowl
It'll be up on Patreon Wednesday I think :)
I loved this video. It's a great example of eating healthy in a balanced way and that it is affordable even with skyrocketing costs.
LOVE this type of videos! Thanks for always providing great recipes.
Thanks Leanne ☺️🙏
Very helpful! I feed a house of 7 and every recipe (I usually double and feed the family and use leftovers for meal prep for me) has been a hit! I am literally boiling the pasta for the Crockpot Tuscan Chicken right now! The $5 a month for Patreon is well beyond worth it!
I love that you shop at Aldi, that is my favorite store! I love how much lower my grocery hauls are there too! Your videos are always spot on. I can’t wait for the Frito recipe!!
Thank you for sharing your grocery hauls and recipes with us. You’re showing us that nutrition doesn’t need to be boring.
Thank you! I recently joined your Patreon account and I am looking forward to trying all of your delicious recipes.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy the content!
this video was helpful, I try to menu select things so the partial containers are always used. I liked seeing the end result and the shopping list. Good Job!
Thank you Teri. Planning meals using similar ingredients is definitely a good idea. It's a great way to help prevent food waste.
Love this!
These are great!
I love that you show that good food is healthy too. Great recipes!
I have made several of your crockpot meals and the turtle pie. I will be looking into patreon as that's new to me. I do agree with another commenter about maybe having an app that would help generate a weekly eating plan, meals and snacks along with a grocery list. I would subscribe to that. If you had a cook book that would be a best seller!
Love this! My teen loves the meals too- makes the meal prep completely worth it!
I love these types of videos. It's good to see eating well can still be affordable!
Omg this is amazing!! I am a chef and weight loss coach and I hate diet food. I am also puertorrican and you are cooking for me!! Definitely trying your meals. I would love to see the Macros breakdown if that’s possible, if not, no biggie!! Love this, great video!!
Love these types of videos, keep ‘em coming ❤
Thank you JoAnn 😊
Love watching your videos. I learn so much.
Thank you so much Susan. I'm happy to hear that :)
I love this type of series!!! Thank you!
I love your video and have enjoyed all the recipes I have tried so far from you. You really know how to find the perfect seasonings to add the perfect touch to your recipes! Thank you for all you do!
Love love love this. Real food for real people ❤️
I have watched this 4 times now haha
Great content!
You Rock!!! You’re recipes are incredible!
I really appreciate that!
Thanks!! Love these recipes - I’m a salty snacker too so I can’t wait to try the frito burrito bowl ❤
After spending a bunch of money just now, I wish I would've seen this before going shopping.
All 3 recipes look great! Did you post the recipes? Also, what is the link for the membership you talked about at the end of the video?
The only thing I would suggest is to use better than bouillon which is a past and more bang for your buck and very tasty and in low sodium as well
Low in sodium? Depends on ehat what your limit is. My home has heart failure patients, we are 1500mgs sodium per day.
@@strawberryshortcake476 yes depends on what is recommended by your physician. I am a nurse. I was merely stating it is available in a lower sodium version and also more cost effective.
Loved this video
Thanks Amber :)
These are great and your recipes are great. Can you do a breakfast lunch and dinner. If you want to get really nuts maybe based on 1400, 1600 etc. thank you for all you do. I subscribe to Patreon as well after following you on Tik Tok!!
For anyone who needs to hear this:
Different color bp’s are just the different maturity levels of the same vegetable. So I stick with green!
Are these meals good for diabetics? I am trying to control it with just diet if possible.
All of my meals follow the American Diabetes Association’s recommendation for carbohydrates per meal 45-60g. And they are all high protein, which helps with rises in glucose 👍
@@ZachCoen thank you so much! I can’t wait to start!
These are great! We are a diabetic home. Measure your servivg size and you will be in the proper carb range.
How long will we have to wait for the tortellini recipe on Patreon? I neeeed it
Haha, not sure. The Frito Burrito Bowl is the next Patreon exclusive. That will be posted this coming Wednesday. So the tortellini will probably be the following week :)
Wow 2.99lb for boneless chicken breast great. Lowest price here where I live is 4.99lb
My wife is a picky eater and doesn’t always want rice as part of the meals. What do you recommend I try to swap out the rice with but keep everything relatively the same nutritionally? I was thinking lentils but I’m not 100% sure…
It really just depends on what she likes. You could try quinoa or a bed of veggies. Some rice meals can usually be turned into a salad just by swapping out the rice for lettuce. How about diced potatoes?
Can brown rice or cauliflower rice be substituted in your recipes?
Do you give macros with recipes?
How much rice to you typically serve with your meals?
Where are the recipes? Am i missing someing?
