I like this website...she is quirky and fun gal! Some of her ideas are cool like this one today. If you love fresh but it is not available (my Farmer's Market is closed till spring) or you are afraid will waste your fresh veggies why not try frozen!
Now I don't mean frozen brussel sprouts with butter sauce...I mean just plain frozen brussel sprouts!
The frozen aisle is more then just pizza, ready made meals, cakes, ice cream and whipped topping!
CHALLENGE:
Look at the vast amounts of frozen vegetables and fruits available to you! Buy some!
Add frozen veggies to your canned soups at work when nuke in microwave for an extra serving, add some to your other frozen meals if you eat them(they often don't give you enough veggies) or make wonderful smoothies with the frozen fruits or salsas even (mango salsa!)
Peace,
WW

I love my frozen veggies. I cook just for me so fresh stuff tends to go bad before I get to it. A lot of the time frozen veggies or fruits can be cheaper too. Healthy doesn't have to be expensive.
BTW- I was an orange popsicle.0 -
I do use frozen - all the time; big bags of organic frozen veggies from Costco are much cheaper than the very small and pricey one's at my grocery store. And we always have frozen berries. My kids love to eat either frozen blue berries, or, wait for it, frozen green peas as their go-to treats on those hot summer days. Go figure.
I have no idea what color popcicle I am since, if that was a survey or something, its gone now. I like lime popcicles.
Did anyone see the ads for PB2? I saw that the other day in the grocery store and it was sold at in less than a week. I do wonder what it tastes like and whats in it? Anyone know?0 -
I want to start doing some smoothies to mix it up. If you have some great recipes - I love fruit!!
Popcicle - if those are my choices, I was totally red. however, my parents were super nice to us and my favorites were the rootbeer and banana (back then they actually tasted like rootbeer and banance -- now they don't).0 -

I remember banana and rootbeer actually tasting like they should.
My smoothie go-to recipe is super simple:
berries or fruit (whatever you like)
plain yogurt
little bit of milk
cinnamon (depending on fruit or berries used)
Also:
bananas
raspberries
peanut butter
water or milk to thin it down0 -
I steam frozen veggies regularly. I do not even pad them with butter anymore. If you love garlic it is a wonderful flavor booster.0
