Health MarketMarch is National Frozen Foods MonthA good time to explore new ways to use the healthy, convenient foods found in the freezer aisle at the grocery store.Be Freezer-Meal Savvy• When selecting frozen vegetables and fruits, avoid unnecessary added fat,

sodium and sugar by checking the package’s ingredient list for anything that has been added to your produce.

• Check the sodium content of frozen protein products; sodium solutions are often used to preserve frozen proteins. Pair higher-sodium frozen proteins with no-salt-added vegetables and grains to balance the meal.

• Compare the NuVal scores on frozen entrées. Find a meal that looks appetizing to you, then find a similar meal with a higher NuVal score and trade up for better health.

Health MarketMarch is National Frozen Foods MonthA good time to explore new ways to use the healthy, convenient foods found in the freezer aisle at the grocery store.Be Freezer-Meal Savvy• When selecting frozen vegetables and fruits, avoid unnecessary added fat,

sodium and sugar by checking the package’s ingredient list for anything that has been added to your produce.

• Check the sodium content of frozen protein products; sodium solutions are often used to preserve frozen proteins. Pair higher-sodium frozen proteins with no-salt-added vegetables and grains to balance the meal.

• Compare the NuVal scores on frozen entrées. Find a meal that looks appetizing to you, then find a similar meal with a higher NuVal score and trade up for better health.
