About

Hi, I’m Marissa!

I started this blog because I wanted to prove that eating vegan doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank or living off frozen soy nuggets.

I care about what I eat. I aim for mostly whole foods, limit seed oils, and shop organic when I can — but I also live on a budget, and I know how real that struggle is.

Vegan Budget Bites is all about making simple, nourishing meals that are affordable, simple, and taste delicious. Whether you’re plant-based, plant-curious, or just trying to eat a little healthier without spending your whole paycheck at Whole Foods: you’re in the right place.

Here you’ll find quick recipes, meal ideas, grocery tips, and occasional money-saving hacks to help you eat well and feel your best (without going broke in the process).

Thanks for being here. I’m so glad you are 🌱
