Buying groceries in bulk can save you money and help you maintain a well-stocked pantry. To make the most of your bulk purchases, consider these 10 healthy and cheap meal ideas that are both delicious and easy to prepare

Lentil Soup- A hearty lentil soup is packed with protein and fiber. Combine lentils, diced vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions, along with vegetable broth and your favorite seasonings. Simmer until the lentils are tender, and serve with a side of whole-grain bread


Brown Rice and Vegetable Stir-Fry-Cook brown rice and set aside. Stir-fry your choice of vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and onions in a bit of oil. Add a protein source like tofu or tempeh, and season with soy sauce or teriyaki sauce. Mix in the cooked brown rice and serve

Quinoa Salad- Cook quinoa and let it cool. Combine it with diced vegetables like cucumber, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onion. Add a protein source like chickpeas or black beans, and toss with a simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and your favorite herbs

Pasta Primavera Cook whole-grain pasta and set aside. Sauté a variety of vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions in olive oil with garlic. Combine the cooked pasta with the vegetables, and season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese

Chili- Combine kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chopped vegetables like bell peppers and onions in a large pot. Add ground turkey or a meat alternative, and season with chili powder, cumin, and garlic. Simmer until flavors meld, and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt

Baked Oatmeal- Combine rolled oats, diced fruit (like apples or berries), milk or a milk alternative, a touch of sweetener, and cinnamon in a baking dish. Bake until golden brown, and serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Veggie Omelette- Whisk eggs or egg whites and pour into a greased pan. Add your choice of vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions, and cook until the eggs are set. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese and fold the omelette in half

Barley and Mushroom Risotto-Sauté finely chopped onion and garlic in olive oil. Add pearl barley and cook until slightly toasted. Gradually add vegetable broth, stirring constantly, until the barley is tender. Mix in sautéed mushrooms and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese

Stuffed Bell Peppers- Cut the tops off of bell peppers and remove the seeds. In a separate bowl, mix cooked rice or quinoa, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and seasonings. Stuff the peppers with the mixture, top with shredded cheese, and bake until the peppers are tender and cheese is melted

Homemade Granola- Combine rolled oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit in a large bowl. Mix in a small amount of honey or maple syrup and a touch of oil. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown. Enjoy with yogurt or milk.
