Sadia Badiei, the dietitian behind Pick Up Limes, shares three budget-friendly plant-based recipes to help lower your grocery bill without sacrificing flavor. The first recipe is a simple peanut granola made with just seven ingredients, including rolled oats, peanuts, and natural peanut butter. This easy breakfast option can be enjoyed with plant milk or yogurt and any fruit you have on hand.

The second recipe is a buffalo pasta salad with beans for an affordable protein source. The creamy dressing made with hot sauce and a homemade ranch spice mix adds tangy heat to the salad, which also includes shredded carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, and pickles. Lastly, the cozy eggplant pesto orzo is a comforting weeknight dinner made with just a handful of ingredients, including orzo, eggplant, cannellini beans, and tomato paste. These recipes focus on using accessible staples and seasonal produce to create delicious and satisfying plant-based meals while keeping costs low.
