“So, for people who might think, ‘You see, the vegan diet is too expensive’—no. You can get frozen fruits and vegetables too if you can’t get the fresh ones. Absolutely, absolutely. This is true. And I’ll do a tangent on your tangent. One of the things that I always recommend to people when I’ve done nutrition coaching in the past is, if they’re price-sensitive, getting dried legumes and dried beans. They are some of the most nutrient-dense and cost-effective things you can buy.” -Alexandra Paul and Jason Wrobel
