Budget-Friendly Healthy Eating Tips from the American Heart Association

Rising food costs are a challenge for many families, but the American Heart Association recommends simple swaps and affordable protein options to maintain a nutritious diet while stretching your budget. Consider options like homemade vinaigrettes, frozen veggies, lentils, beans, tofu, and lean meats, along with heart-smart grains like brown rice and quinoa. Don't underestimate the nutritional value of canned, dried, and frozen foods, and look for low-sodium and no-sugar-added options. Visit recipes.heart.org for more budget-friendly recipes and tips.
