This recipe is fresh and delicious and makes me think of spring ☺️
The best part is it uses frozen ingredients so it’s quick and easy. I always talk to patients and clients about ways to incorporate more veggies, and using frozen veggies to quickly head up and make into a meal is one of the best ways to do that.
Frozen veggies are usually frozen at peak freshness, so they retain nutritional value similiar to fresh vegetables. They’re also usually much cheaper and don’t go badly as quick as fresh vegetables!
