9. Salmon
This heart-healthy superfood, along with other coldwater fish, is a good frozen food choice. Frozen fish is best thawed slowly in the refrigerator. Start your day with Protein Salmon and Eggs on Toast or add Glazed Salmon with Seasonal Vegetables to your dinner menu.
7. Spinach
Frozen spinach is a smart way to add a superfood to your healthy menu plan. It boosts fiber intake and offers a who’s who of nutrients. Pumpkin and Spinach Lasagna is a tasty addition to the dinner menu this week.
8. Strawberries
The strawberry offers some of the highest antioxidant levels of any food. Consuming strawberries has been linked to a host of health benefits, including a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and the prevention of certain types of cancer. Indulge in Strawberry Sunrise Smoothie or Strawberry and Goji Berry Smoothie.
9. Peas
Salmon and nuts don’t have a monopoly on omega-3 fatty acids. Peas contain an omega-3 called ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which may help protect your heart. Frozen peas are an easy-peasy addition to soups, entrees, rice, quinoa, and more. Dig into Healthy Sautéed Rice with Peas and Chicken and White Fish with Tomato and Peas.
10. Chicken
Whether you buy pre-frozen chicken or freeze extra fresh chicken, this poultry option delivers protein to build lean muscle. Chicken that’s been flash-frozen often doesn’t contain preservatives, but be aware that other frozen chicken may contain a saline solution that can increase salt content. Prepare Mac & Cheese with Chicken and Mushrooms or Easy Chicken and Rice Skillet Stir-Fry.
