I could have just had nothing but steemed broccoli but this was more about eating on a budget.

No! You need the variety. You have a really good start with this meal and it would be easy to boost. Here is what I would have added to this dish. It's not all budget, but here are ideas:

• Turmeric: root boiled into water or powder. Both are very cheap for me here. If you buy powder in bulk, it is expensive at first but then lasts.
• Black pepper; activates the turmeric.
• Coconut oil; to be more filing and satisfying.
• Any other chopped veggie such as onion, cabbage, or garlic. Some of the broccoli would have been good in here.
• Some type of green like cilantro, sprouts, or dill.
• Lime or lemon juice - Apple cider vinegar would be a substitute for those too.

You might have a cheap source of fresh veggies near you. You can grow your own sprouts cheaply and easily.
