the deep freeze

I was thinking the other day about things that had been beneficial to me staying on track with my eating.  One "biggie" in particular is having things on hand insures that I can reach for the better food choices. 

I most always purchase frozen vegetables, (along with fresh, of course) opposed to the canned variety.  The experts say that frozen produce tends to be picked at their ripest, which insures maximum nutrient strength because not only are they in their natural environment longer and can absorb more nutrients from the soil, but unlike canned veggies contain less sodium and are fully ripe.  

 

Let's go to the freezer.  These are some of my freezer staples:

 

  • frozen veggies/ steamables are my favorites, fast and easy
  • single serving veggies are great for "in a hurry" no butter or cheese please, I prefer to add my own seasoning
  • frozen fish/ such as tilapia/ not the breaded variety
  • frozen bananas/ cut into 4ths/ if I freeze them myself, I control the ripeness and the portion size
  • whole wheat bread, I eat so little bread, that freezing is the answer to freshness
  • water bottles/ 1/2 full,  on the run, just add water and your favorite tea and your ready to go

ok, so what's in your freezer! Share what works for you...Let's hear from you...yes you can, you have many more miles to go...
