So how can we make it happen, we'll go to Walmart right now and see how many products we can get for just ten dollars, of course I'll try to keep it as healthy as possible. I'm very excited about this. video so let's get right to it, this is my local Walmart here in Utah and I think it's one of the nicest Walmarts I've ever seen.

I'll take you inside and show you where I'm going. Stay within our

budget

of 10. I will also bring my little daughter with us because she is the best help. The first thing we're going to throw in the cart is one of these Granny Smith apples. Granny Smith apples are great for helping with inflammation. It's also very rich in fiber and vitamin C, which is why I bought one of those. Plus, Granny Smith apples are usually the

cheap

est in my store. You probably guessed it, but I took an onion just to help with the flavor in some of the recipes. five bananas to go with some of the breakfasts during the

week

while we're still in the produce section, I want to buy about four jalapenos, they're only 98 cents a pound so they're super affordable and super yummy. in vitamins a and c, so I always grab some jalapenos when I'm at the store.

I also always grab a bag of carrots, they're only 94 cents for one of these bags, if I ever have extra carrots I just go. go ahead and cut them up and freeze them so now to the bread section I decided to buy a bag of white corn tortillas for only a dollar and 42 cents so I thought it was a good deal so I bought it. You usually see me grab lentils when I'm in the bean section of stores, but today I decided to buy pinto beans because I was craving pinto beans. I love making them and then I also grabbed a little bag of about a pound of brown rice for the cereal. section I'm going to buy one of these quick oat

meal

containers.

I love making quick oat

meal

for breakfast because they are so filling that I could eat the oatmeal for breakfast and not be hungry until lunchtime, so that's really nice. I don't have to worry about snacking between those two meals and then having eggs. I'm buying a dozen eggs for a dollar and 79 cents, usually at my

grocery

stores. You could get eggs for a pretty

cheap

price. Here is a small summary of everything I can. picked up today at the supermarket and the prices of course the quick oats, bananas, jalapenos, apples, carrots, onion, corn tortillas, beans, brown rice and eggs, so I stayed on the

budget

of 10.

Now let's go back to my house and see what I can create with all this food currently it's 9:16 and it's breakfast time so I'm going to start a little later with breakfast this morning but that's perfectly fine , so this will be the date for days one through five. I'm just doing the quick thing. oats I like to make quick oats because you can just throw them in the microwave, but there's about six and a half cups of quick oats here, so today I'm going to make about 3 4 cups of oats for each day. I'm going to serve it with the bananas that we bought at the store and then we're just going to pour water on it and then I'm going to add a little bit of cinnamon on top to give it a little bit of flavor and then I'm going to show you what it looks like everything is finished here is the finished product.

I just topped the oatmeal with one of the five bananas from the supermarket. This is a super filling breakfast just because of the amount of oats and then the banana also adds great potassium so really nice healthy and filling breakfast now we're on breakfast six and seven so I made more oats but instead of to make the banana we put an apple on top, so today I'm going to make half the apple on day six and then half the apple. tomorrow on day seven and then I put a little bit more cinnamon on top so I just sprinkled more cinnamon.

Cinnamon is actually one of the healthiest spices on the planet, believe it or not, and then it's a pantry staple, definitely for me, I always have it on hand. I know a lot of other people like to have cinnamon on hand too. It's lunchtime on the first day and I'm hungry and this smells good, so what I have here is three scrambled eggs. I used water instead of milk in the scrambled eggs. if you don't know you can definitely do that with your scrambled eggs if you don't have mouth on hand and that kind of thing and then I'm using a quarter of the jalapenos that we bought a little bit of the onion I just added it to the eggs now that the eggs They are cooked.

I like the vegetables to be a little crunchy at the end, so I added them later and then I'm cooking some of the corn tortillas. I'm only going to make three today for lunch just because that's how I feel. I might make another one if I'm still hungry, but I'm making them crispy on the stove because I like them much better that way and I will. I show you the finished veneered product. I sprinkled it with a little bit of parsley at the end just to make it look prettier and then I didn't mention it but I seasoned the eggs with a little salt and pepper while we were cooking this is a lot of food you see the three omelets here and then there are remains of egg.

I usually don't eat that much for lunch, so I'll be full until dinner and I'm really excited about that. today because I usually just snack throughout the day, so this is a great budget-friendly, high-protein option with veggies that will leave you feeling full for hours. Lunches on days two through four are pretty much the same as lunch on day one, but we're doing it. two eggs instead of three eggs today because three eggs was a lot with the tortillas and then I'm making three corn tortillas on the side I'm also doing more or less the same thing as I said the eggs with jalapenos and onions only with two eggs instead of three , we officially have the pinto beans cooking, so this is just the one pound bag of pinto beans.

I have them cooking right here. I soaked the pinto beans overnight in a large pot with a little water, the reason I had to soak them overnight so they are easier to digest and then easier to cook the next day. If you soak them overnight, I just season these pinto beans with a little salt and pepper, you can also add a jalapeño with peppers, onion and whatever. If you want, you can add the beans to your pot while they simmer. These have been simmering for about two or three hours. Now I'm going to go ahead and let them simmer for another 30 to 45 minutes so I can get them. to the softness that I like to make for lunch during days 5 to 7, it is one of my all-time favorites and a classic meal for my family, it is all pinto beans with onion, jalapeno and then some fried corn tortillas that used to do. food all the time when my husband was in college, we ate this kind of thing probably five times a week.

I know it's crazy to say that just pinto beans have a great source of fiber, lots of vitamins, minerals and have a ton of great protein and just that one pound of pinto beans produced that many beans so they are really

easy

to prepare and Then, after cooking these pinto beans, you can also freeze them for

easy

meals in the future and save time in the kitchen. It's time for the future. I'm just cooking all my brown rice in one sitting today. This is just a pound of brown rice and I'm cooking it in my Instant Pot just because cooking rice in the Instant Pot comes out absolutely perfect and it's so easy to cook in there so I'm going to start right now.

A tablespoon of your favorite oil. I'm using olive oil. Then add your two and a half cups or a pound of brown rice with two and a half cups. of water I like to cook my brown rice on high pressure for about 20 minutes just because I like it a little softer and then once it's done cooking I'm going to quickly release it, it's almost time for dinner. so for days one to three I am making the simplest stir fry, so in this pan I put a tablespoon of olive oil, once the tablespoon of olive oil was hot, I added three grated carrots along with half a chopped onion and Now that the carrots and onion are soft.

I'm going to go ahead and add our three cups of cooked brown rice. Brown rice is also cold and refrigerated. I like to do that for stir-frying. I just think the rice is better in the end. so now I'm going to brown the rice for a minute or two to make it a little crispy. I guess most people have some soy sauce on hand, so I just add a tablespoon of soy sauce and I'm going to combine it well with the rest of the ingredients, as you see, I just pushed everything to the side and now I'm going to crack our three eggs into the eggs and then once they're all scrambled, combine them with the rice.

You can add any vegetables you want to the stir fry if you have peas on hand go ahead and add peas or green onions seriously whatever you want of course I was just using what we bought at the supermarket so this is my very simple scramble . stir fry recipe here is the finished product of my stir fry. I just topped it with some sesame seeds and some parsley like I said above. I love making stir-fries like this because you can add any vegetables you have on hand. There you go, you have one of the quickest meals ever made and then it's so delicious, it smells so good and I'm going to eat this right now for dinners four through seven.

This is more or less what it will be. Maybe I'll change it a little next time. a few days, but this is it, so just some carrot sticks, leftover brown rice, sliced ​​jalapenos, leftover pinto beans and then two of these corn tortillas that I'm frying up, that's a lot of leftover things, like rice whole grain, but putting all of this together makes a pretty big meal that will definitely leave you satisfied and has a lot of nourishment for such a low cost. I could honestly say that all of those meals were delicious, so I really hope this video helped you or maybe someone you know.
