Dancers stress about the cost of groceries and find themselves making trips to the nearest fast food chain in the morning, between classes or rehearsals, and even after performances. I understand the convenience of fast food but it's generally unhealthy and processed foods are full of sugar, salt, cholesterol and void of nourishment. It may seem like you're breaking a deal but the unforeseen costs are toward your overall health. Dancers need to be especially concerned with what they're putting into their bodies. It's our medium of expression and deserves our utmost care.

I manage to make myself a healthy breakfast, within budget, that is both quick and delicious! If you spend $5 on a fast food breakfast each day let's imagine this means you have a budget of $35 a week. With that money you can get a couple $4 boxes of organic berries, a $5 bag of organic granola and a tub of organic soy yogurt for $6. I suggest soy yogurt over animal yogurts because *2% dairy products contains 20mg of cholesterol while all soy products have none! Lastly don't forget a beverage which can be anything from fresh squeezed organic orange juice, organic soymilk or fair trade coffee. These items cost up to $5 for the half gallon or 1/2 lb bag of coffee grounds.

$4 Bluberries $4 Rasberries $5 Granola $6 Soy Yogurt $5 Beverage Total cost = $24 a week
