We only grocery shop every two weeks so we try and plan out what produce to buy based on how long it will last. So, for example I will get a bunch of green bananas, apples and oranges and those will last the longest. Things like berries or veggies that won't last that long we eat first. I recently bought fruit cups, which I know aren't the best but I'll take what I can get. Produce in the winter is so pricey, and just doesn't last as long so I am trying to come up with other ideas. I rarely buy frozen fruit but thought that would be great in smoothies? We do eat canned veggies at times too, which they do enjoy. Too bad it wasn't always summer around here, then we could go to the farmers market as much as we want since it's across the street from us!
In what form does your LO get they fruit and veggies? Always fresh, frozen, canned/jarred? A mix of all?
For us it's a mix of fresh and frozen, depending on what it is. Peas are always canned, broccoli goes back and forth depending on if I'm steaming it or roasting. Everything else is usually fresh, with the occasional exception of frozen blueberries. I also like the Del Monte peach cups from the fridge section - I buy them for myself but sometimes share. Oh, and jarred applesauce because I've gotten too lazy to make it.
