I roasted a bunch of beets yesterday (weekend = meal prep time👩🏻🍳). So naturally (? maybe just me lol), a beet smoothie bowl was what I craved for breakfast this morning, with the help of some frozen blueberries🫐
They’re my top choice to mix with beets. The flavors go really well together and the blue color intensifies the beet red. Not to mention the combined antioxidant and anti-inflammatory charge. A true power couple!
I used to avoid frozen fruits (and veggies), assuming they’re inferior to the fresh kind and only a result of the convenient culture. I also didn’t grow up having any frozen meal (still pretty reluctant😅). It’s only much later that I learnt that frozen fruits and veggies could be as nutritious, if not more so, than fresh ones; since they’re (supposedly) picked at peak ripeness and frozen, so there’s less loss of nutrition due to long period of transport and staying on the shelves. For the out-of-season produce, frozen ones might be a better choice in terms of nutritional value.
Of course I still much prefer the taste and texture of fresh produce (when possible, getting them at farmers market really makes a difference! And you can freeze all the in-season ones for later use yourself!). But I’ve since learnt to embrace the frozen aisle of the grocery store, a great help during the early days of the pandemic👍🏼
