With summer days getting hotter, cold foods are a welcomed taste.

Here are some great whole foods to try frozen. The best part is frozen fruits and vegetable are often less expensive.  Maybe you like food frozen, but don’t like it too much at room temperature or heated.  Check out your frozen fruit section of the grocery store. Just don’t savor the moment too long when eating, or they’ll lose their cool!

1. frozen pistachios –they top the list!
2. frozen petite peas
3. frozen sweet white or yellow corn
4. frozen edamame –not the pods
5. frozen juicy pomegranate seeds
6. frozen pineapple chunks
7. frozen mango pieces
8. frozen blueberries
9. frozen raspberries – a personal favorite
10.  frozen grapes –all colors welcomed

   I love frozen fruit! A great healthy twist on a family favorite is to combining one 12 oz can of frozen orange juice concentrate with 4 cups of water plus 10 ounces of pineapple juice. Then adding in any frozen fruit you’d like such as peaches, mandarin oranges, pineapple, pears, whatever you can find. You could even throw in some frozen strawberries or blueberries which are my favorite! Put it all in a big bowl and put in the freezer to set. It makes delicious frozen fruit cups!

   Frozen blueberries are my absolute favorite! I like to think of them as nature’s dippin’ dots.
