5 Frozen Foods To Stock (And 5 To Skip)
According to Food Network’s Healthy Eats, there are certain frozen foods that you want to add to your freezer and others that you may want to skip to promote a healthy diet. Here’s a list of the ones to grab and the ones to leave behind.
Frozen Foods To Stock Up On
- Edamame – boil some edamame in their shell for five minutes for a protein boost or add into salads, stir-fry, rice, or chili.
- Frozen Fish – unflavored frozen fish is a good choice as long as it’s not fried or breaded but be sure to defrost it properly before consuming.
- Frozen Vegetables – frozen carrots, string beans, and broccoli are excellent for adding to stir-fries, chili, soups, and stews or steamed for a healthy side dish.
- Frozen Fruit – use peaches, pineapple, mango, strawberries, or blueberries in sauces, muffins, oatmeal, syrups, or smoothies. Don’t use frozen fruit with added sugar.
- Bread – whole-grain sandwich bread freezes well and toasting it makes for a good choice.
Frozen Foods To Avoid
- Prepared Hors D’oeuvres – mini quiches, pigs in a blanket, and mozzarella sticks are full of sodium, preservatives, and saturated fats.
- Vegetables In Sauce – it’s better to add olive oil to plain veggies rather than use the frozen ones with buttery and cheesy sauces.
- Frozen Whipped Topping – this one is easy to use but it’s full of high-fructose corn syrup, additives, colors, and hydrogenated fat so this is one to forget.
- Pot Pies – these frozen dishes are full of cholesterol, saturated fat, and sodium and not part of a healthy diet despite the convenience.
- Pancakes – make your own pancakes and skip the frozen variety and add fruit to the batter for a lower calorie additive.
