Is there such a thing as a healthy frozen meal? Why the freezer section gets a bad rap — and how to find something that's quick and nutritious.

Many premade frozen meals are full of low-nutrient ultra-processed foods that have recently been linked to a higher risk of death.

The biggest concern around frozen meals is sodium — some varieties “have greater than 50% of your daily recommended value” Dietitian Roseanne Schnell recommends looking for a meal that has between 300 to 500 calories, 20 to 30 g of protein and 4 to 6 g of fiber.

Pair frozen meals with a side of fresh or frozen vegetables, a salad kit or even just a piece of fruit for a boost of fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Don’t forget that you can always make your own freezer meals — with the added bonus of knowing exactly what’s in them.
