What's not to love about this beloved freezer food?

While filling your pantry with all kinds of healthy staples is a smart thing to do, your freezer can also be your secret weapon for storing healthy foods that would otherwise go bad in the fridge. From easy frozen dinners to simply stocking up on lean proteins, veggies, and fruits, your freezer can be a one-stop-shop for making a healthy meal every single night. If you're looking to stock up on healthy freezer foods for the first time, there's one frozen item in particular that you should reach for first, and that's a bag of frozen raspberries.

The chest freezer stays full of meats and seafood. The freezer drawer under the fridge has all of the vegetables and quick foods.
