Frozen Strawberries or Peaches. That's about the best I think I could eat frozen ha-ha

I love the frozen strawberries and blueberries - either throw them in my ice tea or make smoothies with them!0

I LOVE Morningstar Farms original chicken patties, black bean burgers or their original grillers on a sandwich thin with lettuce and ketchup. I always have them in the freezer! I just bought the sausage crumbles, but haven't tried them yet. Tried the hot dogs and they were not even edible - yuck!0

I don't delude myself into thinking that a Lean Cuisine is the *best* choice, however I rarely cook and I believe that the Lean Cuisine is at least as 'good for me,' if not better, than eating a bunch of fast food. Far less calories and actually a lot less sodium as well. The Lean Cuisine meals I eat usually have 650 of less mg of sodium, which is actually less than a sandwich from Wendy's, also quite a few less calories. Shrug... Maybe it's not "healthy" to you, but it's definitely HEALTHIER than what I used to eat.None. None of it is healthy. I'm not saying I may not buy something once in a very great while but I don't kid myself into thinking that it's anywhere close to healthy.
Nonsense. There are lots of frozen healthy foods.
because all of that added salt and preservitives are just soooooooo good for you0 -
Spinach nuggets and broccoli. I do not eat any frozen food except for veggies because I don't need the crazy amount of sodium packed in the supposedly "healthy" food like Lean cuisine.0
-
frozen, healthy, and food are 3 words that just don't go together. Might as well lick salt0

Amy's organics. The cheese enchiladas are my fave! All natural, non GMO. The only other one I will eat is Celentano Eggplant Rolettes or Parmagiano b/c they, too, are all natural, REAL ingredients. Gotta watch the sodium in most frozen meals, though. I got tired of eating them all the time so I started pre-cooking my food and freezing it so when I'm pressed for time on weeknights I still get a home cooked meal in a pinch!0

I love mixing frozen fruit with fat free Greek yogurt, vanilla extract and 2 TBLS of maple syrup. Instant, guilt-free, frozen yogurt....0
-
Honestly? So you think it's not healthIER than eating a pizza? Or fast food fried foods and burgers? Seriously?You think that **** is healthy?0 -
I like Amy's organic vegetarian meals. Palak Paneer or Mattar Tofu is really good.0
-
Rather than frozen dinners I look for frozen "real food" items that I can mix and match
I'm a big Trader Joe's fan:
I'll buy bags of:
-- Frozen Veg.
-- Frozen Mashed potatoes ...or... Frozen Sweet Potato Frites*
-- Frozen Turkey Meatballs ...or... White Roughy ...or... Shrimp ...or... Chicken Sausages (sold in Fridge sect, then I pop in Freezer)
I put a serving of each on a plate and nuke for 2-3 min. and Voila! Dinner
(*I like my Frites crispy, so I do them in the oven.)0 -
Frozen Peas!! I know that's not quite what you were asking, but I love frozen peas!! Just thaw them a bit and add them to cottage cheese, salads, throw in some pasta and parmesan (i guess that's a little bit of cooking but still) - yummo!!
This is what I was going to say...only I like to eat them frozen!0 -

Did this person say that it was? No, they simply said that frozen meals aren't healthy. I said the same thing, but I also DIDN'T say that pizza and fried foods are healthy. If eating frozen dinners is how YOU chose to eat, kudos, but my body doesn't do well with sodium so I avoid it. Geeze0 -

^^^ Exactly! Progress, not perfection! I love the fitness snobs on here who criticize everything! A Lean Cuisine is better than fast food, Wawa, even Subway, etc. The point is, the OP is making healthier choices today! Only compare yourself to yourself!0 -
edamame, corn, leftovers, that's all i can think of that i eat frozen.0

I don't eat the frozen pre-prepared meals anymore, but I do love frozen fish filets. I live in a place where the frozen fish is "fresher" than the "fresh" fish. I love getting the flash-frozen, individually-wrapped filets from Kroger. Wild-caught pollock is the cheapest, so I get that a lot, but I also like tilapia, salmon, etc. You don't even have to thaw them-- I just throw some fresh-minced garlic and a couple lemon slices on top and they come out of the oven after 15 mins or less tasting amazing! I make fresh-cut sweet potato "fries" to go with them a lot.0
-
Ice Cream. Ok, wait, that may not be considered "healthy." So I will go with seafood - scallops and shrimp and blueberries.0
-
I love birdseye frozen vegetables , so quick and easy0
-
And that wasn't what I was saying either. But some of us don't cook much. Which means either changing that habit, which I probably should, but at this point in life... Not real sure that's going to happen. All I was saying, in this post and another, was that they tend to be healthIER than the choices we made previously. Not everyone is at the same place in their journey as you are.

I like the LOVE chicken teriyaki bowl and I microwave it with a pile of spinach and mushrooms on top - yum!0

Weight watchers meals or cod fillets in butter sauce. Both are healthy and delicious.0

What is your favorite frozen healthy food?
Organic mixed berry blend.0 -
Frozen bananas. Easy and sweet.0

I love the weight watchers smart ones. The Santa Fe Beans and rice is a fav also the Chicken Suiza Enchiladas. Well seasoned! I know some frozen meals arent the best, but obviously I log what I eat and the sodium isnt that bad...0
-
I'd be lost without my freezer! Where to begin...
Vita Muffin Tops for breakfast
Amy's Light and Lean dinners
Any frozen veggies (I nuke a bag and throw them in with the Amy's... Volumetrics!)
Kashi Vegetarian Dinners (Can't speak for the meaty ones)
I try and watch the sodium but other than that, I eat them regularly and I'm pretty darn healthy.
Plus I make my own crockpot dishes and freeze individual portions of leftovers in baggies for quick meals too.0 -

I agree with you 100% when I implied "healthy frozen food" I was implying food that is better for you than other frozen food that is loaded in calories.0

Me too - Amy's is the only frozen meals I will buy. I like the teriyaki tofu bowl.0 -

^^ agree with you. Your right they do have some sodium packed into them and prepackaged foods aren't always the best for you but it's much healthier than going to McDonalds or Wendys and shoving deep fried french fries down my throat.0
