There are many ways to thaw frozen vegetables, but the best way is to do it in a blender. When you blend your frozen veggies, they create a creamy dip that can be used on everything from sandwiches to omelets. But they can be a little intimidating when you’re just trying to whip up a quick dinner and you want to use them in all their frozen glory. And so, we’ve got some tips on how to make the most of your frozen veggies.
1. Thaw first: if you haven’t thawed your vegetables yet, do it now. You don’t want excess moisture in your dinner – that’s what makes it gooey.
2. Make creamy dip from defrosted, blended veggies: this is the easiest way to get some extra flavor into your dinner without adding any extra liquid or oil.
3. Blend frozen vegetables into soup: you can also use this trick for making soups that are packed with vitamins and minerals (yay!). Just blend together some defrosted veggies with some broth or water, then simmer for a few minutes until heated through!
4. You can also add frozen vegetables to your next omelet or frittata at brunch. They’ll cook fast enough that they won’t get mushy in the pan.
5. Make the perfect chilled smoothie using frozen fruits straight from the freezer. Whether you’re looking to drink a smoothie without adding a ton of ice to it, or you just want to make sure your smoothie is as smooth as possible, this trick will help you get it right every time. No ice, just frozen fruits for that refreshingly chilled out beverage.
