As much as I love using fresh, whole foods to build my meals on a daily basis; sometimes I need to lean on my freezer as a backup. I’m going to show you the 10 healthy freezer staples I like to keep on hand for nutritious meals when I’m in a pinch and/or short on time.
10 Healthy Staples I have In My Freezer:
Frozen fruit: mango, pineapple, avocado, bananas, blueberries, strawberries + raspberries
Frozen Yuca, PURÉ DE YAUTÍA (MASHED MALANGA ROOT) Veggies +
Frozen tortillas and/or English muffins
Soup or chili: always cook once and eat (at least twice), often this looks like lentil soup, turkey chili, or minestrone soup
Sweet treat or grab-n-go breakfast: peanut butter oat bars, chocolate chip cookies, or breakfast sandwiches
Grass-fed meat, organic chicken, heritage breed pork: +
Salmon + Scallops: +
Frozen veggie burgers
Frozen veggie dumplings
Truffle flatbread: from Costcos, not super clean – but SO good
Frozen peas + edamame: kids love frozen peas as a snack and edamame is great in lunch boxes
And one last thing! When possible I like to buy organic, & lower-sugar tubes of yogurt and leave them in the freezer as a cold and creamy sweet treat for the kids. Like an ice pop, but less sugar.
I’d love to know if you try this or ideas I can try as well (or any) recipes you have tried! Let me know in the reply section and join the conversation. 🙂
