Cooking healthy meals under a certain budget may seem daunting, but one food creator is sharing grocery lists, tips and recipes to make it a bit easier.
With $75 in hand for a trip to Trader Joe’s and five recipes at the ready, recipe developer and food blogger Jenn Lueke cooked up a new series on social media to help show home cooks how to make a handful of healthy meals for two people.
The food content creator of five years shared her full shopping list, additional best practices for your next trip to the store, plus five healthy recipe ideas with “Good Morning America,” below.
Jenn Lueke prepares recipes in her kitchen.
@jenneatsgoood
Lueke regularly concocts original recipes for her website goodeats and posts them on Instagram along with “little hacks” and more of her own personal health journey.
“I do a lot of like grocery haul type videos,” she said citing her trips to retailers that are familiar to home cooks, including Costco, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and more to show the prices of approachable products that are more accessible than niche influencer-backed wellness trends or products.
“Trying to show people how to eat healthy on a budget is kind of my main goal on my TikTok,” she continued. “It’s expensive to eat healthy. I think the reason people are really attracted to [my content] is they want to eat healthy, but they see a lot of influencers promoting such expensive products — and it’s really overwhelming. That’s kind of what prompted all of my healthy grocery hauls and then this series.”
She added, “I just love meal prep. It’s helped me a lot with getting healthier — being able to combine something that’s budget friendly, that you can like do with a busy schedule, you can reduce food waste, all those things check the boxes.”
For her latest series, Lueke chose to shop at Trader Joe’s because she said she finds their options to be “relatively budget friendly” especially for “produce and proteins.”
“You can shop anywhere you know you like, there’s nothing that’s brand specific,” she explained.
Best grocery tips from a recipe expert
Meal prepped vegetables for a week of healthy meals.
@jenneatsgoood
Plan ahead
“I like to pick four or five meals that I’m going to cook for the week and then I make my list from there and try to see what I can use for multiple things,” Lueke suggested.
For example with produce, Lueke will look to use recipes that “use the same produce every day” or one ingredient in multiple ways.
“If you really wanted to make a unique dinner every night and you didn’t plan it, you could easily spend $200 plus at the grocery store,” she said. “If you don’t plan it and you’re not having that overlap of spices and [condiments] and the proteins, you can easily rack up a huge grocery bill. It’s really about planning.”
Powerhouse ingredients that go a long way
Despite not using them in this recipe series, Lueke hailed eggs as a workhorse ingredient that can stretch to work in many meals and recipes.
Additionally, she said, “I always get chickpeas, coconut milk — it’s like a good paleo vegan option. I always get some kind of greens every week because you can freeze them and then add them to smoothies if you don’t use them — that kind of goes for all produce honestly, I always chop everything up, but if I don’t use it, I freeze it.”
Easy and versatile proteins for weeknight dinners
“I like to do like a ground chicken or ground turkey when I can. I like to do chicken thighs because they’re a little bit cheaper than chicken breasts,” she said. “[Opt] for those more affordable things [instead of] pre-cooked or pre-portioned things that just make it more expensive, because if you take a little bit of time to prep it, you’ll save like 50{d2b09b03d44633acb673e8080360919f91e60962656af8ade0305d5d8b7e4889}.”

Chaos cooking combines unlikely ingredients and flavor combinations to create a unique hybrid dish
The trend, which began popping up on social media last fall, has been described as fusion “without strict interpretations of one or the other cuisine,” chef Alex Watanabe said, speaking about his own Mexican Japanese restaurant to Eater in September.
While the term “chaos cooking” is newer, it’s something multiethnic households and chefs have been doing for years.
Menu items like cheeseburger dumplings at Mimi Cheng’s or pastrami tacos from Empellón Taqueria are just a couple notable examples.
