Forgo Frozen Mains

How about real home cooking instead of all those preservatives? Sure, it takes some extra time to prepare, but the health benefits are worth the effort – look for all my recipes with the tag and make our own healthier, freezer-friendly meals!

Stock Up on Frozen Fruits and Vegetables

The problem with tinned vegetables is that they tend to lose a lot of nutrients during the preservation process (a notable exception is tomatoes). Frozen vegetables, on the other hand, may be even more healthy than some of the fresh produce sold in supermarkets because they are flash-frozen when they’re at their peak.

Opt for Better Ice Cream Alternatives

Don’t break the calorie bank on full-fat ice creams. Instead, opt for nonfat frozen yoghurt or sorbet. Or you can make your own healthier frozen treats: try freezing ripe bananas to make a quick and healthy one-ingredient frozen treat in your food processor or make your own ice lollies with fresh fruit purées or create a granita (see recipe).
