You have probably heard me rant about how a healthy lifestyle is achievable. While it is believed that a lot of money is required, the truth is what you need is discipline. That goes with everything in life.

This meal-prep idea came about when an old friend posted on social media about how expensive eating “healthy” is. They stated that you can buy so many burgers and bags of chips, but a bottle of Kombucha is outrageous. Well, truth be told, eating “healthy” is quite affordable when you get down to it.

This 2 dollar chicken meal prep means that each meal will be about $2. The prices of items will depend on the season, year, and place you live. I got 3 lbs of chicken breast for about $6.00. Asparagus, I got 2 lbs for 8 dollars. Pre-cut frozen cauliflower rice, about 2 lbs for 5 buckaroos! This would total about $19.00 not counting taxes. This made enough food to eat lunch all week for my wife and I. This made about 10 meals.

High in protein, contains food fibers, and has plenty of nutrients. The chicken provides a load of complete protein and some vitamins. The asparagus has components that help mitigate oxidative stress. This, in turn, helps reduce inflammation and aid in recovery.
