    Frozen peas- rinse to thaw and throw into salads, soups or pasta
    Frozen spinach and Kale- thaw and squeeze out all the water. use for soups, dips, egg dishes and sauces
    Frozen Corn- toss with olive oil and salt and pepper, spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes in the oven
    Frozen blueberries, raspberries, bananas, mango for smoothies and desserts

    Everything else I use fresh!

    Frozen veggies are often better than fresh because they are flash frozen when picked. Some do not freeze AS WELL- but don't assume frozen = unhealthy- I'd rather have frozen than fresh when that veggie is out of season.

    And I almost exclusively eat frozen berries- fresh are too expensive.

    Frozen asparagus is something I've always been to afraid to even try. Asparagus is usually something I only buy when it's in season.

    Yeah, don't bother. It always seems mushy to me an no better than canned.

    What a good idea. Would never have thought of freezing bananas for smoothies. Can't tell you how many I throw out.
    I freeze all my leftover fresh fruit before it goes bad and I have to toss it. Bananas, all berries, mango cantaloupe...whatever. There's always some kind of fruit ready to add to yogurt, smoothies or baking.

    I like eating frozen blackberries by the handful.
