Thumbs up if you want more budget friendly meals! Being healthy can be affordable :) Thank you all for supporting me and my support of the AFCA!!
Mind Over Munch what an amazing video 😍. Unfortunately I don't have an oven. Is there any way to make that AWESOME bread 🍞
This video was brilliant! What great ideas and a great cause!!! Can you expand this video with the same concept over a week, please?
Mind Over Munch is there a way to make that bread much bigger like a normal size loaf of bread like a 16oz or 24oz
I've seen some people make bread using a rice cooker. Not sure if it works on this one.
Yes your ideas are awesome. Keep up the good work 😄
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this kind of videos!!!!
These are exactly the recipes I was looking for!
Thanks for all your effort Alicia!
Love from Italy
Thank you! So glad to hear it :) Love from LA!
Thankyou for giving us great ideas for food and sharing awareness to great cause, you have a great❤️
My pleasure, so glad you liked these ideas! :)
"Soup-er smooth and creamy" 😏
HAAAA!
Great video. I liked that the foods packed a day's worth of nutrition as well. I've seen other videos for budget meals where they clearly would not be enough nutrition for a healthy person, so I like that you took that into consideration.
Thank you! I tried, although it's hard to meet calorie standards on this budget.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! This is super helpful. It gets so exhausting to try to diversify and increase the nutrition of what one eats when so much of youtube's video selection isn't cost conscious. I also appreciate that the spices that weren't included in the cost calculation are also affordable ones.
My pleasure! So glad this was useful for you! I'm all about budget-friendly ideas here - can't be healthy if I can't afford it! :)
So great you are participating in such a great caus÷ and raising awareness about nutrition and poverty around the world
Love your videos!
thank you so much!
I think this is a great idea, please please please do more videos like this in the future. I saw your $2 vegan meal vid and can't wait to watch more from your channel.
So glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you! You might also like this video:

Love the budget meals as most seniors I know have to live on less then $5.00 a day. Have to try the bread as I love homemade but can't do anything kneading. Thanks
my pleasure, thank you!
Can you freeze the patties and soup?
I love this! All the recipes looks so very delicious. As someone who grew up on the poverty line I would mention though that a cast iron pan , food processor, even a blender, these are not things youll often find in a poor household. I would challenge on top of this challenge to make foods with only the absolute basic kitchenware.
Glad you enjoyed the recipes, and I appreciate the challenge. The point of this video was to bring awareness to the #PassMyPlate campaign and the AFCA organization. The recipes were a way to bridge the two together with my channel and audience. These were never intended to be functional for the starving children in Africa- they are here for people participating in the campaign to understand the poverty line, conceptually.
Oh I know :) I didn't mean for this specific video or the PassMyPlate challenge. I just meant it as a general idea/concept. As someone who grew up hungry both food and caring for the less fortunate are a passion of mine. Love your channel, love what you do, no criticism was intended :)
Do recommend these healthy recipes for people with diabetes and for people who want to eat healthy for weight loss ?
They could be appropriate, but it's best for you to know your health needs in terms of what's "allowed" or isn't. It depends on you!
amazing video. keep going. video is really inspirational for a sustainable lifestyle.
thanks so much!
Could you do a tutorial on the pasta in your intro xx it looks tasty
Yes, all of the recipes from the intro are already from the channel :) The pasta is from the bento series, playlist is on my channel page :)
I made the lentil patties for dinner tonight... they were so delicious!
yay!!! :) Thanks!
Thank you for this video!!! Also, so thankful for the subtitles you uploaded rather than the automatically-generated subtitles which are not always accurate. ❤
Thank you! We try really hard to get those subtitles up with the launch, glad you use them! :)
It is always neat to see how much you can stretch money, but it still doesn't account for all the tools and technology that we have access to. Many people who are living on this amount of money don't have access to stoves, ovens, and food processors. we are still super spoiled even with the limited budget.

Such an amazing video in every way! We can do this!!! Please more :-)
thank you Paulina!
That's the first time I'm watching ur video and just subscribed.. love your healthy and cheap recipes. Please do make more videos of healthy and cheap recipes.. thanks 👍
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Welcome to the channel :) happy to have you here! You might like my budget playlist:

Beautiful idea and yes, it's bruschetta pronounced as brusketta (I'm italian) :)
+Carmine Turco ha thank you!! I appreciate the knowledge :)
Okay question, what happens if you don't have an oven safe pot for your bread? Can I use a regular old cake pan and foil?
I haven't tried- it should work but make sure it's deep enough and that it's covered.
that bread looks amazing
thank you!
Great video you giving me ideas to work with lol. Also what you can get for $2. in the US you cant get the equivalent in other countries. that $2 equals to $18 TT and it have some one ingredient that u used today that costs $18.
Very true, prices will vary based on location.
could you make the bread with oat flour... or would the taste be weird?
I have tried bread with oat flour but haven't come up with the winner recipe yet... I'm working on it though!!
This is amazing! You should do more of this type of very restricted budget videos, it is so helpful thank you very much ! (+ it's vegan 🙌)
awesome, more to come :) I have a budget series, too :)
this was amazing!
thank you!!
You didn`t put the mesurements of the bread recepie! Can you please give me them?
The recipe for the bread is linked below the other recipes
Tried making the peanut butter.. it just wouldn't go past the grainy stage... yikes! How do you mess that up?!
I've had different experiences with different food processors, and different brands of nuts. I find roasted peanuts work the best. In my old processor I had to let it go for over 10 minutes! So maybe just more time?
Oh really? I didn't think of roasting them - they just went in plain! Will definitely try again! My neighbor probably didn't appreciate the food processor going off at mid-night! :)
Have you tried the cauliflower pizza crust from trader joes?
I haven't tried it yet so I can't comment on taste- but I looked at the package and was disappointed to see 17g carbs per serving which was like 1/3 of a pizza if I remember correctly... then I looked at the ingredients, corn starch was a main one! Not that there's something "wrong" with corn starch, but it was deceiving, because a huge reason people want cauliflower crust pizza is to have less carbohydrates, and this is still relatively high for a vegetable base. It could still be an option for someone just wanting a gluten free or wheat free pizza base, but I fear people will think they are consuming "only cauliflower" and that isn't the case with that pizza, unfortunately :(
Oh no :(
You're right I didn't notice that before!
Maybe that could be a video idea for you though! Low cal options for pizza crusts (:
Thanks for replying!
I know this is vegan, but if I wanted to put honey in the bread, how would I go about doing that? Thank you! :)
You would just put the honey on :) This wasn't intended to be vegan, it ended up being plant based because of the ingredients used for the budget. It wasn't a commentary on veganism or encouraging anyone to follow a vegan diet because of health reasons, I just noted the fact that they were plant based for those interested. You can use honey or whatever other topping you prefer on your bread :) Cheers!
Not only is there no cruelty involved, but non vegans can't even say it's cheaper to eat meat! 2 dollars a day? NO EXCUSES!
Glad you enjoyed this video!
She cooks, she's socially aware and active, she can throw down in the gym, and she's hilarious? And to think people say perfect women don't exist. Those people just haven't seen your channel yet.
HA! That is so funny, and flattering! I am far from perfect, but appreciate the compliments 😘
Great video :))
thanks!
Hi, sweet adorable Alyssia. Another wonderful video as always. What do you love about cauliflower, and when will you make broccoli recipes? Have a good day, sweet adorable Alyssia. Keep the fun recipes coming, cutie pie. 💗💗💗🌹
Thank you Byron! I love how versatile cauliflower is! More broccoli recipes coming soon!!
She has an amazing Cauliflower 10 ways ebook and video that she made in March this year! check it out! i am sure you could sub broccoli for some of it!
can they be frozen
the soup can!
Wait... RAW potato and zucchini soup? How’d I miss that the first time around?
*Some parts* of the whole Continent of Africa
what do you mean?
Love these ideas! We are very low income (I'm a full time college student with a part time job and a mom of 3) so budget friendly options are always appreciated!
awesome, so glad you enjoyed it! More budget to come :)
Vegan by definition means not eating animal products or animal produced products - you aren't required to eat local to be Vegan. If that's how you like to do vegan that's great, but you don't get to decide that someone else is 'absolutely wrong' for not eating only the limited foods that are indigenous to their area of North America.
I think you are a hero 🥰
@@nicolewilkinson1089 Eating local is cheaper. Which is the whole purpose of the video. It costs much more to ship products from different regions, continents, etc. so you end up having to pay for that in higher store prices. Similarly, eating local has a lower carbon footprint, since again there is little to no shipping needed. A lot of people specifically go vegan to curb their carbon footprint. It's also healthier to eat local since the food will be fresher, so that's important for people who go vegan for health reasons. Overall there's lots of reasons for vegans, and really anyone, to pay attention to sourcing.
It's great to see someone on UA-cam using their popularity to contribute to the betterment of people's lives. Thanks for a great video. I'm definitely going to contribute to the cause.
thank you so much, I appreciate it!
More budget friendly meals please😀
great! More to come!
The amount of negativity on this video is sickening awesome job gf
Thanks for your support! I agree, and it makes me sad that people can't see that the point of the video was to bring awareness to a cause, but what can do I do about that? Oh well!
Pizza fam! Challenge: Breakfast pizza, lunch pizza, dinner pizza, under $2 a day! What do you think? 😁
😅
Nice idea!! *_*
Eat The Pizza hey nice idea
approved
Eat The Pizza I think this would be brilliant. Do it!!
Hey Girl HEYY ! Always inspiring me to do better with my eating and saving habits. A day at a time. Lol 😂 Stay encouraged and blessings will follow xox'
thank you!!! I appreciate it :) Much love!
Proud fan of yours!
Love the way you handled such a sensitive topic. Must be challenging and yay, you win!
Loads of love and success to you from your Indian fans.
Thank you so so much, I appreciate it!
These are awesome ideas! Eating vegan is cheap AF!
So glad you like these ideas, Mary! Thank you! :)
I had no idea bread was that affordable to make... how long does it last? I assume less time than store-bought bread, but I'd be much more inclined to eat this if I'd baked it myself.
It will last around a week :)
Jessica Phillips when it gets hard after a few days you could easily pop it into the toaster and toast it, it's delicious!
Or you could use it for bread pudding or French "toast"
I pre-slice my homemade bread and then freeze half. Otherwise we never finish a loaf in time!
Korah Jo how does your bread taste after defrosting? I know some food just doesn't taste the same after freezing.
My lentil patties are in the oven! Excited to see how they turn out. Thanks for the plant based recipes :)
my pleasure, thanks!
M F did you like them? I'm kinda scared to try them out lol
I've made them and they're delicious
Thanks so much for bringing awareness to such an important cause!
Thank you! I appreciate you being here!
I LOVE this video and the one you did last year for this. I wish you would make more of the ones like this one and the one last year. I live just above the U.S. poverty line so while I understand the nutrition isn't great, the cost is perfect for me. I can't make most of your recipes because I cannot afford the ingredients. PLEASE make these vids more than once year. Thank you!
Glad you found it useful! Thanks!
Ohh God that lentil patties ❤ excellent idea! we need to rethink our consume ways
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed!
Yay ^^ New video
I'm obsessed with such videos.
Since I'm from Russia, it's still interesting for me to compare prices. Most of the people here live on $2-4 a day here (this is absolutely normal here, food costs less here than in the USA) and still eat very unhealthy diet.
I personally spend around $2-3 per day and I always cook for myself. It's just easier and cheaper here, and however, it keeps food less processed x3
Thank you for the recipes btw ^^
That's so interesting, thank you for sharing! Love having you here and learning your perspective :)
Hi from another Russian watching this channel
What can you use if you don't have these kind of food processors?? Could it be done with a mixer? Thank you!!!
It depends on the recipe-the peanut butter definitely needs a high powered blender or food processor, and the soup will depending on the texture you prefer. You could use an immersion blender, too.
Ellen Robledo
You can try a mortar and pestle. It will take much longer but it could work.
I've done it before with very small batches after my food processor died mid processing.
It's the first time I see a foreigner (for me: someone who's not Italian!) do a perfect bruschetta! You did everything right, even the garlic rubbing on the bread. Congrats :D And the right pronunciation is the last one you said! :D
I love your video, Alyssa. They are so inspirational.
thank you!! I am glad I did it justice for you :) Sending love
If you ever come to the DFW area, I would love to meet you and your boyfriend. BTW, you are mentioned by Budget Girl in a video. She told us to check out your channel. She loves your recipes.
Thank you so much! YES I know Budget Girl and follow her, she is so wonderful!! :) Thank you for sharing!
Caught the "Yin and Yang" symbol (5:33) in your salt and pepper
Yay! Thank you!
I dont know where you live, but i could not get any of those items for $1.90. I live in Connecticut. One zucchini is $1.99. I wish i could shop where you do.
well, remember, this is the cost per SERVING, not cost for all ingredients.
Thank you for the informative video. Just a message to those who complain about how the video isn't for the really poor family who can't afford blender, electricity and oven. I'm really sorry to hear that. I know it hurts because I experienced that and what's even harder. I'm here to tell you my friend I'm sorry u have to go through such a sad poverty 😢but come on how many vloggers did such budgeting videos that could help a mother who also have to go to college and work and still be able to have a good healthy meal and still afford to buy her kids a ticket to a park! These people are human and it's not their fault that some of us had to struggle through some extreme poverty 😪if you want to take out your anger then talk to the politicians who make can do so much just by doing some research to study what u can afford to make u sick and still benefit off of you when u r obese, sick, or healthy and paying the tax to go elsewhere to feed the wars that create more struggles around the world so that we can have a rich country with some of the riches 1% while the majority are lesser than low middle class! Please do the research before you throw ur anger to the wrong person 👩🏻💻 okay I'm done I have u get the message!
I appreciate your thoughtful response and message!! Much love to you!
Always amazed by your yin & yang salt & pepper! Hahaha thanks for this vid! I know it'll help inspire a lot of people to not waste food & help with the campaign! Blessings!
haha, thank you!! :) much love!
Watches whole video and wonders how she got her salt & paper to look perfectly like Yang and Yang 😳🤔....
Goes in kitchen to try and do it to. 😏lol
LOL! 😂
But ain't it logical that if you live on 2$ per day that you don't have any money to buy a food procesor or blender?btw the recipes are still awsome😍😁😘
I think you missed the point of this video- to bring awareness to the #PassMyPlate campaign and the AFCA organization. The recipes were a way to bridge the two together with my channel and audience. These were never intended to be functional for the starving children in Africa- they are here for people participating in the campaign to understand the poverty line, conceptually.
I LOOOVE this! I am so glad you didn't take the easy way out and just have a variety of rice, beans, and oats recipes. These are so creative and diverse. Everyone always says eating healthy is expensive, even I did before I started to eat cleaner, but I realize that if you go to the store and leave out the junk food, frozen meals and expensive meats (steak, bacon) you save a lot. I love your channel so much and always get so excited when you have a new video. :) I would love to see a video for cleaner, at home coffee/frapp recipes.
That is so awesome, thank you!! I have a few healthy coffee and starbucks recipe videos, I will do more for sure :) Cheers
Could you do the bread in a regular bread pan or on a baking sheet? I don't have a cast iron pot
You could use a glass dish as well, doesn't have to be cast iron.
Good to know, thank you!
Remember that all Pyrex bowls can be used for baking. I used mine for bread all the time before my oven died.
I just did Rachel the other day and came out just fine. My go to bread from now on because I cannot stand the long list of ingredients of bread in the stores. It really is easy and makes the house smell so delicious!
I think these are great recipes, but I'm curious how the cost of these meals was calculated. $1.90/day x 7 days = $13.30/week. I live in Chicago and I definitely could not afford to buy these ingredients for $13. The bag of wheat flour and lentils alone would use up about half of that, even if I were to buy it in bulk. I know I live in a more expensive city, but the numbers don't add up for me.
The challenge was considering $1.90 for the ingredients used per day, not going to the store with $13.30 per week. I calculated out the price per serving used of each ingredient to determine the total Hope this helps explain. Cheers
Hi! I was wondering if it is possible to make the bread in a bread maker?
Possibly, I don't have a bread maker so I haven't tried this recipe with one.
While with a lot of. Savvy shopping you could get food for these prices but you could afford some of the equipment. Growing up my family went through a period of time when a max daily budget was $5 for four people plus anything else we needed. But in particular were out of the question unless they were on clearance. We ended up having to visit a local food bank which was a huge blessing. I know this video is old but if you can help a local food bank you should.
I accidentally bought natural yeast instead of instant yeast 😭😭😭. Can i still use it? What’s gonna be the measurement? Thank you! I would love to try to make this bread.
In a time of fancy cooking, I feel very happy to see this type of videos! Love the old-fashioned bread and the other recipes too! Thanks 😍
thank you!! :)
More bread recipes!!!
awesome! Thanks :)
love this video (as usual...love these creative vids) but the hunger epidemic in Africa? which countries in Africa though? just makes it sound like the entire continent is starving
Great ideas! Thank you. On Mexico you can have a great Lunch on street for less $3. Food is less in other countries. They get paid less but also they pay less. for food, gas, rent, etc..
Do you know when the challenge will be this year (2018)? I'm interested!
i have a challenge for you. Go to the food banks near you grab what you can and spend $89 that is equivelant to food stamps. That is what my mother lives on with my neice and brother living with her and she doesnt think she can meal prep with what she gets
Hi , my daughter likes your recipes . I have a question do u have any idea to make chewey cookies without sugar and all purpose flour please reply
Almond butter is divine. Himalayan pink salt is the BEST and most nutritional.
I love this video so much. It absolutely breaks my heart that people can't afford propper nutrition, i think im going to try this for a week (probably one where i have less shifts than i do atm though :( )
(p.s i make artsy youtube vids if u wanna check them out!! no pressure tho!
thank you!
Feel like it's important to point out this dollar ninty isn't just for food but for everything else too. No going to lie I spend about that sometimes less on food for a day.
why don't your videos show in my subscriptions? i tried to unsubscribe and then to subscribe again but the videos don't show up there after they're posted for a long time now..
somebody have a solution?
{english isn't my first language, sorry}
same problem here
I'm so sad about that! Have you clicked the bell? If you don't click the bell when you subscribe to a channel, you won't be notified :(
Can I just say, I love how Alyssia made a yin-yang with the salt and pepper with the tomato thing...... I can't spell it, nor pronounce it LOL.
I love the yin yang salt and pepper!!
Thank you!!
I love these budget recipes so much!! The best part you can add more things and buy some instead of making, and it still will be incredibly affordable.
totally! They are definitely versatile :) Thank you!
Thumbs up MOM! Yes, breakfast, lunch and dinner never looked so good and yet so cheaply! As for the homemade Peanut butter, nuff said, for this PB&J junkie, i'm gettin' my own food processor and making it here! :)
woohoo!
Beautiful - you're an inspired woman!
:) Thank you!
I do agree with the posts about it all adding up and being unrealistic. But, I did enjoy this video and loved the ideas and tips. And I would love to try them. I really enjoy getting ideas from all the youtubers. Even if it isn't always cheap! Thanks for sharing your ideas! Keep it up! Cause, I will be watching for sure!
The price is determined by the amount of food per serving, not the amount purchased.
Everything looks so delicious. Preparing nutritious meals on a tight budget can be a real challenge. You did a great job....Pass my plate sounds like a wonderful organization. I'm going to check them out:)
thank you Cheryl! I appreciate it!
Hello!! love your videos always so informative but I being so confused about keto diet, don't know what to think about?!! Honestly don't like it much but lots of people are losing weight and claims to be healthy. I'm trying to change my lifestyle for a healthier one.
I have a video coming to explain this very soon :)
I love these ideas. And, I am so going to try the lentil patties. You just gave me a new idea for my kids lunch. That is perfect. Quick Qs - 1) Red lentils - yours looked white when in paste form. Mine uncooked are red/pink in color. So just making sure. 2) for the bread, can I substitute bread flour or all purpose flour? I am not a fan of WW flour. 3) What's the shelf life for homemade PB? Do I need to keep it in fridge? Thanks.
Awesome, thanks so much! The lentils were still reddish pink, perhaps the lighting was over-exposed. Bread or all purpose flour should work fine! :) The PB will last a few weeks to a month, I usually keep it in the fridge :)
I LOVE BUDGET FRIENDLY - VEGAN VIDEOS! KEEP THEM COMING!!! $2 a day... I am so happy for this kind of video!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed! Thank you! :)
That bread was killer easy! I will try it. I used to make bread a lot but i couldn't keep up cause my family liked it too much and I work full time. that peanut butter with cinnamon! MY FAVORITE SPICE!! That soup looked glorious and nutritious! I love bruchetta! So fresh! Your veggie dinner was right up my alley! I wonder if they freeze well?
thank you, I made it 3-4 times for this episode and it was great every time! So easy!! :)
I always end up annoyed when I make nut butters at home😩😩yours looks delicious👅😍😍all recipes are amazing💕💕
Thank you! I'm sorry you get annoyed, it became less annoying for me once I had a better food processor lol!
THESE VIDEOS ARE MY FAVORITE! Seriously, I have never clicked so fast. You are amazing MORE MORE MORE like this
Thank you!!
Wheat flour ?! Please be mindful that grains ARE BAD for us. There are many tasty non grain (gluten free) flours like Coconut, Almond, Chick pea ! Make sure your Cinnamon is Ceylon Cinnamon and not the cheap Cassia which is BADfor us.
This is a wheat flour bread, but I have many other gluten free (and some grain free) bread recipes, too! There are loads of non-grain flours, but we all have to make choices about what is right for each out our own lifestyles - what is right for YOU, no one else. :)

Loved this episode! healthy doesn't always need to be pricey, a lot of the time its just a ton of marketing to justify insane price tags (Like $12 for 4 acai packs where I live?!) Thank you so much :) and a huge YES from me for more healthy budget friendly meals :)
totally!! :)
Love that you did this. Was wondering about the macro/caloric intake before you mentioned it at the end. Did you do a breakdown? Would be interested to know how it fared, I'm guessing it hit macros or was close but was probably low on calories?
I don't remember the exact calculation, but I do know that this meal was closer to the "recommended standards" than the one I shared last year :)
I'm glad you are supporting for this cause. I volunteer for a food pantry. But I myself go to a food pantry sometimes, I hope I get to go tomorrow, my case manager has to take me. I budget $50=$60 a week for groceries, I'm considered low income. I do not however qualify to for food stamps anymore because the program is bankrupt.
So glad you found this enjoyable, I appreciate the feedback!
Alyssia, these are my favorite videos you have EVER done. What a worthy cause. I have been sad because my husband lost his job last week but watching this I realize we are still SO blessed. I am going to look into that challenge. Much love 💕❤️❤️
Thank you, I am so glad you found it helpful and appreciate your support!
People just waste too much food, could you please teach some recipes with leftovers? If you already did, I believe this will be a subject that will never end ;) I'm already thinking about that bread turning into a panko flour :D
Loved those ideas! Thank you for sharing
Thanks! I have a food waste video in the works :)
Why the pine nuts? They are the priciest nuts out there!!!!!
True, they are pricey! I think pili nuts are more expensive though. They were simply an aesthetic garnish. You can skip it if needed.
A worthy cause indeed. I'm broke since I haven't been able to work since I fell ill and can't get disability approved. Wish I could figure out a way to do Paleo for $2 a day. Maybe I can. Soups!
Soups are great for budget meals!
Thank you so much for this video! The bread and soup in particular look delicious! I would like to point out, though, that people living in extreme poverty may be able to make bread but are rarely if ever going to have a food processor, much less a high power blender! Counting the blender as an investment made over a full year, i'm rather sure that puts you above the $1.90. honestly, i think this challenge is extremely problematic and, i worry, potentially even counterproductive to the cause of awareness about what extreme poverty really is, and that is definitely not your fault, as you didn't make the campaign--anyway these recipes look delicious and deliciously affordable, so thank you!
thanks! The point of the video is not to provide recipes for people living in these situations, but to bring awareness to the charity, and that awareness matters most to people who can make these recipes.
Wow! That whole wheat bread looks so good! Gotta try it!
thank you! It was really so tasty :)
