Cheap Protein That Punches Above Its Price

Good protein does not have to be expensive. Eggs are one of the best deals in Kenya, cheap, filling, and easy to cook anywhere. Omena is a quiet hero: small, affordable, and packed with protein plus healthy fats and calcium from the tiny bones. A handful of omena with sukuma wiki makes a proper keto plate for very little money. Beef offals like matumbo and liver are usually cheaper than prime cuts and are very rich in nutrients. Tinned mackerel or sardines are also great when fresh fish is dear. When you shop, spend your protein money where it stretches: eggs, omena, offals, and cheaper cuts, rather than pricey fillets. Buy in the market rather than the supermarket where you can. You will hit your protein target comfortably on an M-Pesa budget, and still have money left for veg and cooking oil.

Takeaway. Eggs, omena, and offals give you top-class protein for bottom-shelf prices.
