]]>We all love pizza and you can make your own healthier version with some frozen pizza dough or tortillas, tomato sauce, frozen vegetables, and frozen meat.
We love salmon and frozen salmon lasts months in the freezer. This fish is packed with heart-healthy Omega-3s and all you have to do is thaw it out the night before and pair it with frozen broccoli and baked sweet potatoes.
Do you have leftovers or food that’s almost expired? Stir-fries are a great way to use these foods. Just mix tofu, shrimp, edamame, and frozen meat in a large skillet with cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add in your favorite spices and sauces and rice or noodles. Top it off with thawed frozen or canned vegetables and you have a hearty meal!
Frozen fruits work great in oatmeal, yogurt bowls, and smoothies. For smoothie bases use bananas, berries, and cauliflower or spinach. Muffins, breads, and crumbles also work well with frozen fruits.
Sheet pan meals are super convenient and easy for busy families. If you forgot to defrost your meat the night before, don’t worry, as you can bake it from frozen on a sheet pan and add frozen vegetables and grains halfway through cooking.

]]>Frozen fruits and vegetables are typically frozen after harvest and seafood and fish is frozen after it’s caught. The calories and macronutrients don’t differentiate between them and their fresh counterparts, but frozen fruits and vegetables usually have higher nutrient contents because they haven’t spent time in shipment or sitting on shelves in grocery stores.
With frozen foods, you have more options like blended ones with many different types of fruits and vegetables that are prepackaged for stir-fries or smoothies. They’re also usually cheaper than fresh options and you don’t have to cut, peel, chop, or sort them.
Although frozen options are more convenient and cost-effective, they often have added sugar, salt, and preservatives. Just make sure you read the nutrition labels and look for as few ingredients as possible.
Canned foods have a much longer shelf life, they’re affordable, and they’re easier to store than frozen ones. Like frozen foods, they’re time-saving as you don’t have to cut, boil, simmer, or season them.
Many people don’t enjoy the taste and texture of canned foods and there’s also lots of salt, sugar, and preservatives added. For canned fruits, they often are packaged in their own juices, which adds tons of sugar to them. Like frozen foods, just read the labels and choose options that contain less sodium and sugar.
