Frozen Foods/MyPyramid

With so many delicious options, making good food choices can seem overwhelming. The frozen food section at your local GIANT is a good place to start. This is also the perfect time of year to freeze your own fresh fruits and veggies so you can enjoy them all winter long. Try some of the tasty ideas below and remember to keep the USDA’s new MyPyramid dietary guidelines in mind.

Go for whole grains. Reach for frozen whole-wheat waffles, pancakes and bagels. Look for products that list whole-grain ingredients first on the label.

Vary your veggies. Try mixed varieties of vegetables, and remember to check for your favorites in the frozen section if they’re not in season.

Focus on fruits. Frozen berries make a convenient addition to any smoothie or dessert. Stock up on frozen juice blends for a quick and easy summer refreshment.

Get your calcium-rich foods. Three-cheese frozen omelets or pizzas are a tasty source of calcium. Frozen yogurts are another treat crammed with calcium - just be sure to consume them in moderation.
