How to live on £1 a day | Vegan on a budget | DAY 2
This week I thought I would challenge myself and see if I could create healthy vegan meals for five days with only £5! 💸 While I would have loved to have not bought anything wrapped in plastic it wasn't possible with the budget that I had. For some reason food in my local area is cheaper when it's wrapped in plastic! (whyyyyyy?!) I always try my hardest to use as little plastic as possible in my daily life and so this was an exception, but it really highlighted the problems out society have with the amount of unnecessary plastic being used.
This is day 2 of my 5 day challenge, I hope you enjoyed cooking with me and hope that I have inspired you to be a creative in the kitchen and see what you can come up with when you only have very limited ingredients and also that i've showed that Veganism can be as cheap or expensive as you make it.
If you have taken the time to watch my video then thank you so much. If you have any video suggestions please leave them below! :D
Have a bright and beautiful day ✨

I'm trying to transition to vegan at the moment and it's so refreshing seeing recipes that aren't solely tomato based, can't wait to see what else you've created :D

Rebecca T I'm so happy to hear you're going vegan! Hope my recipes inspire you and show you that you can vegan even on the tiniest budget 😊
You are so creative in the kitchen. That flat bread looked so yummy. As did the rice and veggie patties.

Thank you! 😄 I was amazed at how well the veggie patties came out, I would definitely make them again with a few more spices next time! 😊
I love your carrot chopping magic hands! Very helpful thanks. Me and my partner are making an effort to eat more healthily and cheaply - this is a big help

Love the flat bread and burger idea. I will define try those. I saw a video recently making flatbread with mashed sweet potatoes too.

Thank you so much for the ideas you’ve given me! Me and my partner are trying to do the £1 a day challenge just to save our money for a house. I’m definitely going to make the oat flatbreads! 🙌🏼💜🌿✨
Great idea! There is actually no need to peel carrots =) Nowadays they are cleaned and washed so much, that there is no more soil on them and right under the skin (?) are the most vitamins plus you have more of the carrot to eat =) And germs from the store will be killed by cooking them =)

Living the life you love haha you are welcome:) most veggies really don't need to be peeled. Pumpkins, cucumbers, potatoes, zucchini, other root vegetables I don't know the English word for and apples and pears as well :) I hardly ever peel anything. Only potatoes when I want to make mashed potatoes :D and obvious fruits and veggies

Hi! Thank you so much, i'm so happy you found me too. 😄 I used rough measurements but as far as I know it was maybe 1 cup of blended oats to 1 cup of water. Just keep adding water until it's the right consistency for you and add whatever spices you like, about 1tsp of each. 😊 It was very tasty considering how simple the recipe was, I was so thankful that it worked out! 😄❤️

Hi, I was hoping to get the ratio of what you used to make the veggie/rice patties/burgers please? Just came across your challenge videos recently and have really enjoyed watching them, definitely lots of inspiration there for yummy inexpensive meals. I was inspired to make carrot soup after watching this and don't usually enjoy or want to make soup, but really enjoyed it so much with a few extra tweaks by the addition of some further spices and flavouring. Thanks
I have to try that flatbread recipe. Genius! X

I loved this video. Refreshing ideas! Pity there is no recipe though. For the carrot soup was it just carrots, water and pepper? And for the flatbread just 2 cups ground oats and 1 cup (boiling?) water, basil and garlic? Thanks
OMG great idea with the oat bread. This is random but I've been trying to come up with an oat bread recipe cos I digest oats really well and bread not so much. I'll definitely try it

Do you remember the oat flour to water ratio?
@Livingthelifeyoulove

Thank you! It's really tasty especially if you add herbs and spices to it 😀 The recipe is 1/2 - 1 cup of oats and then 1 cup of water, but change the quantities until you get the thickness you like. (I reccomend blending it to combine it well but mixing with a whisk also works 😊) I would suggest adding garlic/onion powder and maybe some mixed herbs depending on how you want it to taste. Hope you enjoy it! A few people have tried them and all I think the trick is to have a non-stick pan or to use oil so it doesn't stick. 🤗

Oooo, that sounds good! We are big into dumpster diving and last week my husband came home with about $1000 worth of meat. I don't really care what he eats, but I plan to cook it up for the cats and dogs really. But he has been making cheeseburgers for our girls all week and they are very into them. I told the girls we have a new healthy eating plan and i promised them I would make 'burgers" that were just as tasty so we are going to be trying all sort of veggie burger approaches.
What frying pan do you have. I've tried making flatbreads(different recipe) before aswell as pancakes and they always bloody stick to my pan even though it's non stick and I spray it with oil
Looks really delicious!! But i dont understand how that would add up to 1677 kcal?
