No-fuss alternatives for a healthier meal, any time of day!
Store-bought freezer food often gets a bad rap. Maybe it’s <because> it’s so convenient that it’s often likened to fast food rather than a nutritious meal option. But with research showing that the most common barrier to healthy eating is time, or lack thereof, and a growing number of healthy frozen foods available in the aisles, what once was a category reserved for sad (and salty) TV dinners has become a convenient way to kick up your health.
In fact, research shows that the nutrition value of frozen fruits and vegetables is equal to or, in some cases, even better than that of fresh product. So, to prepare for the busy weeks ahead, take a stroll down the frozen aisles—your future self will thank you!
