Expert: You Can Eat Healthy Without Breaking Bank

MIAMI (CBS) ― One doesn't have to pay a high price for healthy food. Baptist Hospital nutritionist Susan Nowrouzi explains one can find delicious and very nutritious foods for under $1.

"They can be anywhere for 30 cents or less, to less than a dollar per serving," Nowrouzi tells CBS station WFOR-TV in Miami.

First, apples are high in fiber with vitamin C and low in calories. In addition, they cost about 70 cents per serving, and that's one of the pricier items.

Bananas have vitamin C and fiber too, plus they're loaded with potassium. They ring in at just 30 cents each, and Nowrouzi says they fill you up.

"High fiber, so yes definitely, they are filling," she added.

Canned tuna is one of the best sources of lean protein and heart healthy omega three fatty acids. Each can is about a buck - that's 50 cents a serving.

Yogurt has bacteria which is good for your gut, calcium and protein too -just 50 cents a serving.

Canned beans are power packed with protein and fiber, plus they're a good source of iron.

Canned tomatoes contain lycopene, a known cancer fighter, plus vitamins A and C. At 34 cents a serving, they make almost anything taste better.

"They're a great addition for taste for many foods," Nowrouzi says. "You can add, and they're very cheap."

Oranges are one of the best sources of the antioxidant vitamin C - 200% of your RDA; in fact, each one is about 70 cents.

Lentils are high protein with a low cost - just 14 cents a serving.

At 19 cents per serving, the benefits of carrots are clear to see, as they are packed with the vision vitamin A.

"They are antioxidants, and they're good for your eyes and your skin pigmentation," Nowrouzi says.

Just mix any three into your next meal, and you can get a nutritious boost without breaking the bank.

Frozen vegetables are also a great source of nutrition; they are usually just as healthy as fresh vegetables, easier to prepare and since they are grown and distributed in bulk, they are usually significantly cheaper.
