Facts about
Convenience has to be a priority when it comes to eating meals or food preperation in ones very busy lifestyle.
I needed something that was going to be quick and easy to get to, but also it had to be "healthy". Lunch was my main focus because this time of the day is busy for me.
I discovered that frozen veges are actually packed full of freshness, vitimans and minerals. And for less than $3.00 for a bag of varity frozen veges, I couldn't be happier. It's so easy to stick them in the microwave for a few minutes and there done!
Facts:
Many processed foods are just as nutritious or in some cases even more nutritious than fresh foods depending on the manner in which they are processed.
Frozen vegetables are usually processed within hours of harvest. There is little nutrient loss in the freezing process so frozen vegetables retain their high vitamin and mineral content. In contrast, fresh vegetables are picked and transported to market. It can take days or even weeks before they reach the dinner table and vitamins are gradually lost over time no matter how carefully the vegetables are transported and stored.
I make up my own frozen veggies as they are cheaper then buying the packets.
Broccoli, beans & cauliflower are great cause you dont need to cook them before freezing them. I even cut up the stalks and freeze them aswell, great for when you are strapped for a little cash.
Now any others I usually cut up cook and then measure out into bags so that I can just grab out of the freezer and take to work.
I usually take my microwave steamer with me which I purchased from Big W for about $2 it is a terrific size to fit one meal into.
You can take twice as many vegies to work for 1/2 the price if you prepare them fresh yourself.
