When it comes to improving your overall health, there is no doubt that incorporating more organic fruits and vegetables into your diet is the best way to do that. However, fresh produce is not always available year-round. It can also spoil before you have an opportunity to eat it. Fortunately, there are a variety of frozen organic fruits and vegetables available at any time. They are easy to store and simple to incorporate into your everyday diet. Plus, frozen fruits and vegetables are easily adaptable. Steaming and sautéing them in a skillet aren’t your only options! Here are some fun and easy ways to use frozen organic fruits and vegetables into your daily diet:
Fruit Soup
One fun way to use organic frozen fruit is to make it into a delicious cold soup. Fruit soup is a refreshing treat that you enjoy cold. These soups won’t have any added sugar thanks to the natural sugar in fruit. You can customize your own recipe with the fruits you have on hand. For instance, a delicious strawberry soup consists of frozen strawberries, lime juice, and organic yogurt. You simply blend the ingredients together until it reaches a soup-like consistency. You may need to add some water or orange juice to get the soup to your desired texture.
You can also make fruit soup without blending the fruit if you prefer to have a heartier texture, you can leave some of the fruit whole, or add some blueberries or blackberries into your blended soup. The possibilities are endless!
Vegetable Smoothies
Another great way to get more frozen fruits and vegetables in your daily diet are smoothies. Smoothies don’t need to be only fruit! You can incorporate a variety of frozen vegetables into a smoothie as well. This method also helps get more vegetables into the pickier members of your family since they are not as easy to detect.
Some frozen vegetables that are delicious in smoothies include butternut squash, carrots, spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and beets. Add in some of your favorite frozen fruits, some water or yogurt, and you have a healthy, delicious smoothie that the pickiest person would love.
Roasted Vegetables
Despite what you may think, you can roast frozen vegetables just as you can fresh produce. You do not even have to defrost them first if you are on a tight schedule. You can simply place your favorite vegetables on a sheet pan along with some olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in the oven until they are tender.
You can mix and match all sorts of vegetables when you roast them. Some delicious combinations include yellow squash, zucchini and onion, broccoli and cauliflower, or sweet potatoes and carrots.
These are only a small sampling of the things you can do with frozen fruits and vegetables. For the best health options, you should look for organic, non-GMO options as you shop. At Globetradenet, we want to work as partners to support global health.
