As explained in the previous post, you’re not doing yourself a nutritional disservice by taking advantage of the convenience of frozen vegetables, especially on nights when you’re suffering vegetable exhaustion and the alternative might be no vegetables at all.  Here’s a couple tips if you’d like to explore this meal making avenue:

10 Top Frozen Vegetables to Stock in Your Freezer Pantry

1. Green beans (especially whole, petite green beans, or haricorts verts)
2. Green peas
3. Spinach, chopped, loose pack
4. Corn
5. Onions, chopped
6. Broccoli, petite florets
7. Cubed sweet potatoes and butternut squash
8. Edamame
9. Green and red bell pepper strips
