No fresh blueberries in the produce section? – No problem – Frozen fruits and vegtables are probably as good for you.
Fruits and vegtables are good for you whether they’re frozen or fresh – even canned vegtables are a good source of nutrition – but they can have alot of added salt or sugar.
Most studies show little nutritional differences between frozen and fresh vegtables. Take blueberries, vitamin C & K , manganese and anthocyanins – the antioxidant that gives them their blue color – aren’t distroyed by freezing. So go ahead – when you can’t get your favorite fruit or veggies in the produce aisle – head over to the frozen section. It is so much healthier filling up on fruits and veggies than on white rice, pastas and french fries.

Here is a Super Simple Sorbet Recipe from my new favorite guy: Mark Bittman www.cookingchanneltv.com
1 lb frozen strawberries or other fruit – 1/2 Cup yogurt – 1/4 Cup sugar (more or less)
Put all of the above in a food processor – with a couple tablespoons of water. Process – scape down the sides of bowl as needed. don’t over process or it will melt – Serve immediately or freeze for later. This is just so good!
Eating a cup of berries – fresh or frozen – at least 3 times a week can help you prevent memory loss and fight weight gain
