“Eating healthy is expensive.” “I don’t know how to cook like that.” “My kids wont like it.” Excuses, excuses, excuses. We’ve heard them all, and you’ve said them all. Time to get real and do your homework. I’m going to show you how to save money, get fit and win the parent of the year award.

First things first, a lot of healthy meals require not cooking at all. So, throw that excuse out. If you go to farmers markets you could end up saving more money than you think. Most of the items for Jimmy John’s Owner are bought from there.

One of the most eye opening youtube channels is FullyRawKristina. Her success story is incredible and her food is even more amazing. Krisitina is a raw vegan, which means she doesn’t cook any of her food. That’s a bonus for anyone who isn’t a great cook. Plus this is awesome for parents. Zero wait time and kids will love it. Every video she posts has hundreds of thousands of views.
