Being a vegan does not require special skills, special food, or an elitist lifestyle. It’s a common misconception that it is expensive to lead a vegan lifestyle. However, you can eat vegan and still be considerate of your budget.

One of my absolute favourite foods is sweet potatoes. Aside from being one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet, they are also in my superstar low-budget status foods list as one of the cheapest. We all know that anything green ranks up at the top of any vegetable listing so a combination of sweet potatoes with greens is my starting point when I work with clients who live way below the line in terms of affordability of food choices.
