Eating real food with Thermomix®
In today’s world, it can be tempting to rely on processed or pre-packaged foods as they are ‘easy’, but eating real, whole foods is one of the best ways to nourish your body and improve your overall health. With Thermomix®, you can make delicious, wholesome meals from scratch while also saving time and money. Here’s how eating real food can help you cut costs and live healthier.
Eating real food doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. With Thermomix®, you have the ability to prepare fresh, homemade meals meaning you can cut costs by making your own pantry staples, cooking in bulk, and skipping the pre-packaged items.
1. Make your own
Buying pantry staples like sauces, nut butters, and condiments can add up quickly, both in terms of cost and number of ingredients. With the help of Thermomix® and with Cookidoo® at your fingertips, you can easily make these items at home for a fraction of the cost all while knowing exactly what goes in your dishes.
2. Cook in bulk
Cooking in bulk is one of the easiest ways to cut costs while eating healthy. The Thermomix®’ large capacity allows you to batch cook soups, stews, and casseroles. You can then freeze portions for later, reducing food waste and saving money on take-aways or pre-made meals. Here are some freezer-friendly dishes you can create in advance:
Soups and stews: Buy seasonal vegetables in bulk to make big batches of hearty soups and stews. Save money by taking advantage of lower prices per kilo and time by having delicious meals prepped for when you need it most.
Homemade stock and broths: Don’t let leftover scraps go to waste. Use them to create homemade stocks, perfect for soups and sauces. Making your own stock is far more economical than buying cartons of broth.
Homemade staples: Ingredients like chopped garlic or passata is easily prepped at home and with proper storage, can last you months in the freeer.
3. Ditch the pre-packaged foods
Pre-packaged foods often come with high prices and unnecessary additives. You can easily recreate healthier versions of your favourite store-bought items for less. Recipes like yoghurt, granola and even lemonade can all be made at home with less additives and even more flavour.
