Are frozen veggies as healthy as fresh?

Yes and sometimes better, because they have been packaged closer to the point of origin, rather than waiting days after being harvested and shipped, processed reshipped, and then put in the location that you can buy it. Sometimes they are a week old instead of minutes old for the frozen kind.

Basically anything you buy frozen or canned is unhealthy for you.  Too much salt and preservatives.\n\nSame goes for things in a box.  (cheeze its, froot loops, etc)

Not horrible but not a balanced diet.  Vegitarians do not eat only fruit and veggies.  They suppliment their diets with things like nuts and they eat tofu, etc.  You need some protein in your diet and you won't get enough (if any) with only fruit and vegetables.

No. After thawing frozen lettuce, you would not have lettuce. You would have a pile of slime. So I don't recommend freezing lettuce.

No and no. Many vegetable are actually better for you after they are cooked. The body can't break down some of the raw vegetables properly and you don't get all the nutrients. Spinach is a prime example.

Neither.  Vegans and vegetarians like to claim that the non-vegetarian lifestyle is unhealthy.  However, there is plenty of evidence (most of it scientific) that the vegan and vegetarian lifestyles are just as unhealthy as non-vegetarian lifestyles.  You can't eat very much of anything these days offered in grocery stores that is not mass-produced, hormone injected, pesticide or chemically assisted, and this applies just as much to fruits and vegetables as it does to meat.  And organic foods are no better than regular foods http://preventdisease.com/home/tips61.shtml  Everything in moderation is the key.\n\nThe Naive Vegetarian\nhttp://www.mercola.com/2002/feb/2/vegetarian.htm\n\nThe Myths of Vegetarianism\nhttp://www.mercola.com/2000/apr/2/vegetarian_myths.htm

Being a vegetarian can be healthy.\nBeing omnivorous can be healthy as well.\nThere's no scientific proof that a vegetarian diet is superior to one that's not.

NO2 ice cream is actually really good...its really smooth because the ice crystals don't have time to grow large.  But...we did this in high school and I loved putting random stuff in and then smashing it.  Lettuce was really sweet...so i'd do that for hours at a time if I could.

All fruits and veggies are good. Dark veggies have more nutrients than light veggies, ie: sweet potatoes are better than russet potatoes, spinach has more nutrients than lettuce, etc. Fruits are excellent. Citrus fruits contain Vitamin C, Bananas are a good source of potassium, Apples have Vitamin A. I can't think of an unhealthy fruit! Sport drinks should be drank in moderation. Water is best! Sport drinks contain a lot of sodium, which is good if you've been sweating a lot, but not just as a regular drink.

Very Unhealthy.  A good diet is a well balance diet, which means a good variety.  Eating samething no matter how healthy the food is runs the risk of missing certain nutrients.  The new standard for eating includes eating a variety of fruits and vegetable of varying colors.  The second suggestion is better, but still isn't healthy.  Synthetic foods often contains undesirable chemicals and probably does not have all the micronutrients the body craves.  If you eat salads, remember that lettuce has very little vitamins.  Their only value is in fiber.

As a general rule, any kind of fruit or veggie is much better for you raw.

It all depends on what you are buying, Hot Pockets and burritos are never healthy. Buying Frozen foods like healthy choice and lean cuisine are very good but you should still try and add some fresh fruits and veggies to your diet. Try making a fresh salad or steam veggies to go along with your meals. Those are fast and easy healthy foods you can make while your main course is cooking. Also Rachel's 30 minute meals are easy fast and healthy and best of all homemade!!! You can go to foodnetwork.com and find you some simple recipes! Good luck Hope I have helped and God Bless!

well, i would suggest buying them first. then, when its snack time, instead of grabbing that bag of chips, cut up a cucumber, or make yourself a small salad. you dont have to eat all your veggys at mealtimes. just spread them out throughout the day.

Frozen veggies like green beans, cauliflower, corn, peas, broccoli, etc... are wonderful in the micro. Some brands come in sauce, but check the nutritional info on the boxes to see exactly what's in it. It may taste great, but be LOADED with salt.\n\nCanned beans are good too for protein. Trader Joe's sells a delicious Three-Bean Salad that is great cold by itself or over lettuce, or even hot, mixed with other veggies. I'm sure other stores have similar stuff.\n\nOf course, there's always cereal and milk. Good source of protein, calcium, fiber and carbs. Pick healthy grain cereals instead of sugary ones if you can.\n\nPersonally, I'd stay away from the frozen TV dinners unless you read the packages carefully. Many are just LOADED with salt and other stuff like MSG that you probably don't want to consume in mass quantities.\n\nOh and don't forget baked potatos! They're easy in the micro and only take a few minutes. Sweet potatos work too. :)
