Welcome my Munchies! I'm Alyssia if you're
new to the channel. I am so happy to have
you join us. A few weeks ago I shared
some $1 dinner recipes and you
guys seem stoked for a miniseries of
affordable meals so we're doing it and
today it's all about breakfast. All of
the breakfasts are $1 or less
per serving and of course you have to
remember that those are calculated out
using the most affordable ingredients
around me. So if you want to buy higher
quality ingredients or organic that will
affect the price as will location. So I
know all of these ingredients are not
necessarily going to be this cheap
everywhere in the world but that is just
inherently going to be an issue because
we have access to different things
depending on where we live. So my point
is don't get too caught up on the
$1 number.
The point is healthy and affordable can
be done together with a little bit of
creativity and shopping around. We're
starting out with pretty much a daily go
to for me
avocado toast. So simple but so delicious.
For this recipe you will need bread of
choice, avocado, bacon of choice,
roma tomatoes which are almost always
cheaper than vine or heirloom, an egg,
red pepper flakes, and salt and remember
you could of course omit that bacon for
a vegetarian toast. Toast up your
Ezekiel bread and then layer on your
ingredients and I like my egg sunny-side up.
I like the egg to be nice and yokey but
you could also use a boiled egg or even
a scrambled patty. Let me know your
favorite egg preparation in the comments
below. Then you can just sprinkle on your
red pepper flakes and a little bit of
salt. So tasty and actually quite
affordable only $0.91 for a serving. The
key ingredient here is the avocado. I
live in California so we can get
avocados year-round and they are pretty
darn cheap. I know this isn't the case
everywhere so try snagging them when
they are in season or if you still want
a delicious toast with a healthy creamy
spread you could also try hummus. We're
moving on to a fall favorites since it
is October after all.
Pumpkin pie oatmeal. For this recipe you
will need oats remember bulk bin oats are
the way to go to keep it cheap, milk of
choice, canned pumpkin which is available
year-round and adds nutrition to your
meals, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice,
which I am making myself so it is more
affordable it's simply cinnamon,
allspice, nutmeg, and ginger, as well as
some vanilla extract, and chopped nuts
pecans are traditional for pumpkin pie
but almonds are much more affordable so
I'm using that instead today. Add you're
milk and your oats to a small saucepan
like so. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a
simmer and add your pumpkin, vanilla, and
spices until heated through. This recipe
will work with any milk regular or
non-dairy. If nut milk is too expensive
you could also consider making your own
to save a few bucks. Mix well until
combined and allow your oatmeal to cook
all the way through then add your maple
syrup and chopped nuts which gives this
oatmeal a delicious texture. YUM! This
is literally pumpkin pie in a bowl for
breakfast at only $0.87 per
serving and it's nutritious and vegan. I
can't complain about that. This is
seriously one of my favorite fall
breakfasts.
Lastly we're going to make my apple
chocolate chai overnight chia pudding.
For this recipe you will need chia seeds,
milk, apple and if you can buy apples
when they are in season they are so
affordable gala are almost always one of
the cheaper varieties, cocoa powder, honey
or sub maple syrup for vegan, for our
chai flavor we are using cinnamon, cloves,
and cardamom and we will also need a
pinch of salt.
Grab a small mason jar and I'm going to
be using this handy-dandy jar funnel
fill it up. Link will be in the
description.
Go ahead and add all of your ingredients
into the jar. Mix well to combine and
then lid up and transfer to the
refrigerator overnight.
This is like overnight oats but you're
going to come out with a pudding for
breakfast instead.
Not too shabby eh. The next morning open
it up and reveal the perfect and
delicious chocolate apple chai chia pudding.
Delicious flavors. The chia seeds have
expanded to give you that putting
texture. The apples have softened to go
perfectly with the chocolate chai and
all for only $0.79 a
serving. A lot of people assume chia
seeds are too expensive but the truth is
if you buy them in a larger package or
even better in bulk bins they are so
much cheaper. Plus whole chia seeds last
over 2 years in the pantry or 4
years in the freezer. So don't be afraid
to stock up. I hope you enjoyed these
$1 breakfasts. If you're excited
for more of this budget miniseries give
this video a thumbs up and I'll get
working on those ideas. Let me know which
breakfast you're most excited to try in
the comments below.
Remember to tag me if
you try any of them out and all of the
recipes are available to you in the PDF
in the description. Easy peasy. Thanks so
much for liking the video leaving a
comment and subscribing. I'll see you
next week for a new episode and remember
it's all a matter of Mind Over Munch.
