    Nutrition and Healthy Eating<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Handout<\/strong>: (Eating the Rainbow Tracking Sheet<\/a>)
    Eating the rainbow ensures that you children are getting a variety of fruits and vegetables that keep their bodies healthy and strong. But sometimes fresh food isn’t always an option. Frozen produce is usually less expensive and you don’t have to worry about it spoiling before you get to eat it. Here are some of the best and most nutritious options to eat the frozen<\/em> rainbow:
    \u2022 berries and cherries are much more affordable when you buy them frozen. Use them in smoothies, use them in healthy desserts, add them to your favorite yogurt, or as a snack right out of the freezer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 green veggies, like broccoli, beans, edamame, brussel sprouts or asparagus are a great frozen option and are often easier to prepare than their fresh counterparts. Pop them in the microwave or saut\u00e9 them for a nutritious side dish for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Recipe:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 cauliflower rice is a great substitute for white rice – it has the same texture and lots more health benefits. The frozen bagged option is inexpensive, easy, and lasts a while in your freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Cauliflower<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 chopped onion is a cheap, easy, and convenient way to add quick flavor to recipes without the watery eyes and chopping!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Chopped<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    \u2022 mixed veggies are an easy addition to lots of meals – steam them or use them in soups, stews, curries, stir-fries, slow-cooker meals, and even casseroles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
