Lack of fresh produce is no excuse for not eating your fruits and veggies. FACT: There is little difference, depending on the handling of the produce, according to the American Dietetic Association. Frozen produce is generally processed at its peak so it may even contain more nutrients than fresh produce that has been sitting around for several days. However, both frozen and canned produce may have added sugar or salt, which is something to consider when purchasing these items. As always, check the nutrition label!Keep your freezer stocked with frozen veggies, so you will always have some on hand. They're easy to toss into a fresh or canned soup, stir fry with some chicken or tofu, or even just microwave to enjoy as a quick snack. Most stores now sell bags of frozen vegetable medleys that will add color and variety, not to mention healthy vitamins and minerals, to your meals. And don't forget frozen fruits either! They are a cheaper way to include your favorite fruits in your eating plan when they're not in season. Nowadays, it is easier than ever to listen to your mother and eat your veggies!
