Chilled Green Tea
Brew a jug of green tea and keep it chilled in the fridge. It makes a great swap for pricey alternatives like coconut water.
Pureed Greens
To avoid wasting spoiled greens every week, puree your veg and freeze as soon as you buy it [6], so all you have to do is grab, throw it into the blender, and blitz!
Buy Frozen Fruit
The price of fresh fruit can seem extortionate, especially when you're on a tight budget. As you're not buying your fruit to eat straight away, buying frozen fruit is a sensible option because it's cheaper but just as nutritious and you're less likely to waste it.
