I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved.

Is there any food that breaks this theory?

Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances

Some popular suggestions include

  • fruits (in season)
  • lentils

    I have a related one - I’m kinda continously on the lookout for a refreshing (evening) drink especially during hot weather.

    So far, I haven’t found one that doesn’t contain at least one of:

    • (added) sugar
    • caffeine
    • alcohol

    Or a combination of those.

    On the other end of that scale, I do quite like White Russians. The Dude says hi.

      Carbonated mineral water. Yeah there are environmental concerns with bottled water but this stuff breaks up the monotony of just drinking water pretty good without any caffeine, alcohol, or sugar.

        It doesn’t have to be bottled. You can buy your own carbonation machine for less than 100€. Use nice cold water and add some ginger or lime to it, and it makes for a great summer drink.
