The Fridge

Of course, you know I have to conclude with stocking the fridge with fresh seasonal vegetables and fruit so you get the nutrition you need. Go with the freshest ingredients you can find. Skip the bagged salads and pre-cut vegetables and fruit if you can. They might be convenient, but they’ve lost a lot of nutrients in the processing and they make a pretty big footprint on our fragile planet.

But if your time, lifestyle and budget don’t allow for fresh, seasonal ingredients all the time, then go with frozen veggies as they were frozen at their peak of freshness, so they give you almost...almost the same bang for your nutritional buck. And they are so easy to use; versatile as well. They take away any excuse to skip vegetables.
