Groceries are not getting any cheaper. In fact, they are getting more expensive every day. Of course, as prices go up, the food that is good for you goes up at a ridiculously fast pace. Here are the top 10 cheapest superfoods for your shopping list. Mix these into your meal planning, and you won’t spend more, but you will be healthier. 

Lentils 

Lentils can be prepared in so many ways and used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lentils have tons of protein and fiber, and they are great for digestion. Replace them with grains that are not nearly as healthy. 

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes have vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants. In addition, it’s not that hard to get kids to eat sweet potatoes. They taste great and are easy to work with when preparing. 

Spinach

Spinach contains both iron and calcium. Spinach makes a great addition to smoothies as you can blend it and consume quite a bit of it. Don’t forget spinach salads as an alternative to traditional salads.

Frozen Berries

Frozen berries are often cheaper than fresh berries. They contain antioxidants and vitamins and are great to use in baking, yogurts, and smoothies. Stock up on the frozen fruits when pricing is good. 

Brown Rice

Brown rice is not expensive, especially if you buy in bulk. Replace your white rice with brown rice and benefit from fiber and magnesium in your favorite meals. Add a few eggs and vegetables, and you have a perfect stir fry. 

Eggs

Eggs were once incredibly expensive, but the good news is the pricing has come back down on eggs. Eggs are a perfect substitute for meat when the price on meat continues to climb.
