Winter is a time when your diet should be particularly balanced and nourishing. Experts advise eating seasonal vegetables, fish and meat, seafood, seeds, berries, and drinking healthy teas, icluding fruit ones.

Nutritionist Olha Dorosh shared a list of budget foods that can easily replace expensive ones on Instagram.

Meat

You can replace it with offal: liver, heart, or ventricles. You can bake or stew it or make pates!

Red fish

An alternative is mackerel or very healthy and tasty herring!

Sea bass, dorado

Hake, tilapia, pollock are no less healthy than dorado and sea bass, which are many times more expensive!

Buckwheat, wild rice, amaranth, quinoa

Millet, barley, wheat, and any available cereal can be a useful alternative, and beans and chickpeas are also a great substitute.

Tomatoes, cucumbers

Cabbage, sauerkraut, carrots, and beets can replace fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. You can also replace sweet potatoes with regular potatoes!

Salad mix, microgreens

These greens can be replaced with budget-friendly wild garlic or green onions!

Olive and flaxseed oil

They can be replaced with any other oil that will be no less useful but more budget-friendly!

Couscous

It can be replaced with wheat porridge or oatmeal.

Broccoli

Ordinary and red cabbage are as good as broccoli!

Cottage cheese

You can opt for kefir instead of cottage cheese!
