$5 Lunch Challenge: Unprocessed Food Only 🥗

  • Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
  • Follow us on another delicious $5 lunch challenge adventure! This week, we look for cheap and healthy unprocessed foods to prepare a filling meal. We head to the grocery store and start hunting. After finding some baby spinach on sale, we go with the idea of a Thai mango salad. We find tomatoes, limes, and we take some liberties by getting free salt and pepper packs from a Mr. Sub sandwich shop. Then we head to Bulk Barn for seasoning: crushed chilli pepper flakes and dried cranberries. Should these be allowed in an unprocessed food challenge, or is it cheating? Either way, we end up with a nutrition filled, colourful, and mouth watering vegetarian Thai Mango Salad for under five dollars!

    Some foods need to be processed to be safe to eat like Cassava and horseradish. I like the idea of whole foods though and I think this was a great example

      Cassava doesn't need to be processed, there's varietys you can clean at home.

      Yeah and some veggies like carrots are actually healthier when cooked bc the vitamins that give us benefits are more bioavailable (easier to digest and assimilate by the body)

      People have such a misconception of that processed means. Cutting something is processing.

    Cranberries are processed, they’re always sweetened either with sugar or apple juice

  • @kawaiicookie284
    @kawaiicookie284 3 месяца назад +1

    Isn’t everything in the grocery store processed..? I mean like- they have to go to factories to get packaged, making everything processed (fruits and veggies not in containers mostly not) if anything’s in a package or bag, it’s processed right-?

    0g protein, 0g fats.
    A little bit of carbs from the mango mostly.
    And most of the bulk is water.
    You paid five bucks to be hungry again in half an hour.
    I know these are silly challenges. But if these are trying to be actual lunch options, then they could have some substance in them.

    soy lecithin is an emulsifier and preservative derived from soy beans. If you don't have a soy allergy, it's fine.

    • @dudeinthecrown
      @dudeinthecrown 3 месяца назад +8

      Tbh a lot of people misunderstand some chemicals in the foods which will not affect to their body at all, and some preservatives even save not only products shelf life but also nutrients
      But if you're scared of harmful chemical you should check every products ingridient and google them, cuz "if I can't pronounce it then I probably should not put it in my body" is stupid

    • @saoirse_miller
      @saoirse_miller 3 месяца назад +12

      this!! just bc ingredients were added to something doesn't immediately mean it's bad. soy lethicin is literally natural, too, it's just extracted from soybean oil. soybean oil is extracted with a chemical, but, again, chemicals and added ingredients ≠ bad. also, literally just washing or pasteurizing food counts as processing. you can literally die if you drink raw milk or eat unwashed vegetables. i get what the video means, but i wish people would better understand how the food industry works sometimes. like, people "process" food at home all the time. most things have to be to be considered edible or safe. but there's a difference between all processed food and processed food that had sugar, chemicals, etc. unnecessarily loaded into it. moderation is key!!!

    technically, whatever food you get is going to be processed those potatoes you picked up processed. Every food is processed and it doesn’t make it bad. apples are processed and washed So most fruits and vegetables

    You could add a can of tuna (which is processed because it's canned, but its single ingredient, so I'd say its fine) which should cost about $1 (in the US anyway). That way, there's protein in the meal.

    Girl, if your imagination of "whole foods only lunch" is a protein-less salad I kinda feel bad for you. Not even enough carbs on that plate to keep your energy up, just greens adding volume and some fruit sugars there. Please add an egg and some carbs of your choosing. If you have been eating lunch like these and wonder why are your energy levels so LOW after noon, this is one of the reasons why
