The Best Organic Frozen Foods to Buy - Poosh

@khloekardashian

Back by popular demand, Poosh grocery haul is here to help you navigate that frozen food aisle. Let’s be honest, frozen foods sometimes get a bad rap. But frozen food in the 21st century has come a long way from the frozen TV dinners that our parents (and some of us) grew up with.

Don’t be afraid to stock your freezers with organic frozen foods, most of which are now made without any preservatives. In fact, frozen produce is often picked at its peak and flash frozen to maintain all the flavor and nutrients.

Most importantly, let’s be honest with each other. I don’t care how much you all love to cook and provide wholesome meals for your family; sometimes we all need a meal that requires minimal effort and preparation. Keeping food stocked in the freezer offers a convenient backup for those days when fresh groceries are scarce and there is no time to run to the store. We opt against microwave use to defrost our frozen foods, but the stove top and toaster ovens make a great alternative.

Check out some of our freezer must-haves below:

Organic Bone Broth

Price: $13

Bonafide Provisions

This is hands down my favorite bone broth. It’s sold only in the freezer section, making this traditional bone broth so easy to store. It’s great for gut health because of the collagen in the broth, and so incredibly delicious. I use it for sipping with salt and pepper, to make soups, and to cook rice.

Sausage

Price: $6

Applegate

Applegate sausage is a breakfast staple. Throw it on the pan or in the toaster oven for a quick and easy, nutritious breakfast protein for you and your little ones. They taste delicious, too.

Chicken Strips

Price: $8

Applegate

Many of us try to cook most nights, and that is great, but the reality is that life can be crazy. Sometimes, if you are anything like me, I can barely find a moment to run to the bathroom, let alone whip up a home-cooked meal. These are the nights when I go straight for the Applegate Chicken Tenders. They are organic and gluten free. My kids love them, and any leftovers make a perfect addition to a school lunch.

Organic Chicken Sausage

Price: $7

Applegate

Another Applegate favorite is their chicken sausage. They may not always be found in the freezer aisle but can be stored in a freezer for weeks at a time. These are easy to prepare, they taste great when cooked over the grill or in a pan, and they are a great source of protein and minerals, such as iron and zinc.

Cashew Milk Ice Cream

Price: $6

So Delicious

This is my favorite dairy-free ice cream brand. They have a wide variety of flavors, all of which are delicious, creamy, and kid-approved.

Vegan Dessert Bars

Price: $6

So Delicious

Another dairy-free freezer must-have. Made with coconut milk, these dessert bars are so tasty, and they make the perfect post-playdate dessert or snack.

Almond Flour Tortillas

Price: $8

Siete Foods

This is a great grain-free brand that I mentioned in my last grocery haul. I use their tortillas on taco night to dip in hummus or to make quesadillas.

Organic Ricotta Spinach Ravioli

Price: $5

365 Everyday Value

I love a great organic spinach ravioli, and a bonus—this happens to be a hit with my kids. I can store it in the freezer, and it’s so easy to take out, boil to perfection, and feed to my little ones. I also love that they are getting some greens in their pasta. Sometimes, if I’m feeling frisky, this makes the perfect splurge with a side of my own vegan pesto.

Pizza

Price: $7

Daiya

This dairy-free pizza is a favorite in my home. Take this bad boy out on a busy day and feel good knowing that you and your kids are still getting clean ingredients and delicious food. Not to mention no dairy, which means a less upset stomach later.

Cauliflower Pizza

Price: $6

365 Everyday Value

My all-time favorite when it comes to an at-home frozen pizza. You had me at “cauli.” It’s still questionable how much cauliflower is actually in these pizza crusts, but some cauliflower is better than no cauliflower, and these taste delicious every step of the way.

Organic Waffles

Price: $3

Vans

Mornings can be hectic, and let’s face it, sometimes it’s a free-for-all and there is no time for eggs, bacon, pancakes, and made-from-scratch waffles. These are the days when I reach for Van’s or Nature’s Path Gluten-Free Waffles. Frozen, you might ask? Why yes.

Black Bean Quinoa Veggie Burgers

Price: $5

Dr. Praeger's

Veggie burgers are sometimes so underrated. These make the best “I’m in a hurry” meal. I heat mine up in a toaster oven, and they can be enjoyed with or without a bun.

Organic Riced Cauliflower

Price: $2

365 Everyday Value

Organic produce is the best. They’re chock-full of nutrients because they are flash frozen, and they are so easy to steam or sauté. I also buy frozen cauliflower rice and sneak it into my kids smoothies every chance I get.

Potstickers

Price: $5

Annie Chun's

Who doesn’t love a good pot sticker? These Annie Chun’s Veggie Pot Stickers are definitely a household favorite. I heat them up in a pan with olive oil until they are browned and crispy on the edges, and then serve them with a side of coconut aminos.

Quinoa with Frozen Veggies

Price: $4

365 Everyday Value

Did you know that quinoa offers a ton of dietary fiber and protein, more than even rice? Well, now you know. This organic frozen quinoa with veggies is a perfect dish to serve as a complement to any meal. A little serving tip—add a ripe chopped avocado and drizzle some coconut aminos to add some healthy fat and flavor.

Mac and Cheese

Price: $4

Amy's

If you have kids in your house, chances are, they love mac and cheese. This organic frozen option is non-GMO, certified kosher, soy and tree nut free, and suitable for vegetarian diets. It’s also better than anything you are going to find in a box and is so easy to prepare. Just heat up in a toaster oven for an irresistible version of this American classic.

Taquitos

Price: $5

365 Everyday Value

This Mexican classic is a family favorite. Best served with cilantro, guacamole, and dairy-free sour cream. Great for an afternoon snack, school lunch, playdate, and even a quick dinner.

Mini Organic Meatballs

Price: $8

Earth's Best

These meatballs are made with premium, grass-fed beef and are the most flavorful meatballs I’ve tried. I often put these in the kids’ lunches instead of a sandwich. (I literally get texts from other moms regularly asking where they too can find them.) They also make a great appetizer for an adult dinner party.

Frozen Organic Blueberries

Price: $6

365 Everyday Value

Frozen blueberries are the best. They are great to add into smoothies or yogurt and granola bowls. They are full of antioxidants, low in sugar, and they also make a great late-night snack if you are craving something sweet.

Organic Mini Pizzas

Price: $5

Udi's

These organic mini pizza bagels make the perfect after-school snack, and the kids ask for more every time. Pop them in the toaster oven and voilà, ready to eat in only nine minutes.
