Cheapest I could come up with:

1/4 onion +

1 can of kidney beans +

3 cups of cooked rice +

1/2 tomato

1/2 lime

Salt, Pepper, Paprica for taste.

1/2 pint of non-fat yoghurt (18oz / 450g)

1 fist full of mixed nuts.

1 apple

1 orange

1 banana

That should cover protein, calcium, vitamin and carb needs for a fairly good diet.

I thought this was a recipe until I got to the yoghurt, but I suppose it could work somehow...

You could make it two recipes, with the yoghurt, nuts and fruit forming a dessert.

Sorry I forgot to add enough pluses:

1/4 onion +

1 can of kidney beans +

1/2 tomato +

1/2 lime +

Salt, Pepper, Paprica for taste +

3 cups of cooked rice on the side or mixed in.

Thats one recipe.

The rest of the items can be their own recipe, or eaten separately =)
