Eating for $4 a Day: Easy (Mostly) Plant Based Recipes | Australia

Can you really eat well on just $4 a day in Australia? Welcome to Part 2 of my extreme budget challenge! This week, I’m leaning into mostly plant-based meals to show you how to stretch your grocery dollar even further without losing out on flavour. If you’re feeling the pinch at the checkout lately, these recipes are proof that you can still eat delicious, filling meals like lentil burgers, sweet potato curry, and even homemade tortillas on a tiny budget. I’ve kept things simple, realistic, and budget-friendly—no fancy ingredients, just good food that anyone can whip up at home. In this video: How I prepped 7 days of meals for one person. Simple swaps to keep things plant-based (with a few eggs for protein!). My honest verdict on the $4/day budget.
