I didn’t have the will to meal prep this week so I have been eating tinned fish and frozen broccoli for lunch. This is a meal that took me basically 0 work. 

I think frozen vegetables are a hugely underrated tool in healthy eating. They don’t go bad, are very fresh because they are frozen at peak, and super cost effective. 

This is a stupidly bougie tin of fish imported from Japan — $3 
1/3 of bag of ORGANIC frozen broccoli -$1 

So that’s a $4 lunch that has 20g protein from the fish alone, fiber, carbs, and healthy fats (omega 3 in fish). And you can bring down cost by using less bougie fish.

2024 for the bougie fish habit.

We grow a small crop of broccoli, it’s not a great profit center, in the other times of the year we buy frozen OG broccoli.  They’re different, yet still enjoy the convenience of the frozen veg.

Also happily buy frozen peas, and beans.  All are typically pretty decent.  Frozen beans definitely the most variable of the lot.  

Before kids we used to preserve and freeze more, haven’t prioritized it through the busy years.
