New research suggests that eating fruits and vegetables can substantially increase happiness (never mind what it can do for cancer, heart disease, and high blood pressure). Anecdotal evidence — from a study sample of my three children — suggests that eating frozen treats can also substantially increase happiness. Put them together and you might just have a replacement for prozac.
Below you’ll find 21 healthier frozen treats gleaned from the kitchens of my favorite registered dietitians. Nutrient-rich fruits are packed into nearly all of them, with most relying on less processed sweeteners, and not a drop of artificial anything in any of them. One even has a little port wine added for good measure, just in case you weren’t already giddy enough.
Let the happy party begin!
