Frozen Fruits and Veggies

So summer has come to an end and all the fruits are now out of season. If you live in a cold climate area you may be packing down the pot pies and hot cocoa and waiting until spring to get your essential vitamins and nutrients from fruits and veggies. But you don't have to. Recent studies have shown that freeze-dried fruits and veggies may not hold all of the nutrients as they do on the vine, but they do retain enough to still be beneficial.

A new study even says that freeze dried strawberries may reduce cholesterol levels. So even though it may be cold and out of season you can still pick up some bags of fruits in the frozen section. You can take frozen strawberries and blend them or thaw them and put them right in your hot cocoa. Fruit smoothies are also a delicious way to get vitamins and coat a sore throat.

And frozen vegetables will taste great in that pot pie!
