For the second part of our Nutrition with knownwell series, our Clinical Dietitian Megan Mirgorodsky is highlighting the benefits of keeping nutritious and protein rich frozen foods on hand for when you may be in a pinch or don’t have time for meal prep.

When you are running on the go, frozen ready-to-eat meals can be super convenient! Some frozen meals tend to be lower in protein content, so we’ve linked some here that are a bit higher in protein to help with satiety:

For even longer lasting fullness, add a side of non-starchy vegetables to one of these meals for higher volume and fiber content! Some examples of non-starchy vegetable sides could include a side salad, a side of roasted string beans, steamed broccoli, or grilled zucchini just to name a few. Another good thing to pay attention to when purchasing frozen meals is the sodium content. A good rule of thumb is to look for <600mg sodium per serving.
