That's tricky, learning the best way to slice a bell pepper and get the seeds out.

That takes a little bit of practice and skill.

You don't need to worry about that with the frozen vegetables.

It's all done for you.

And if you don't like frozen, the texture is a little bit different, right, than from fresh vegetables.

There's lots of options now in grocery stores in the produce section where you can get pre-washed, pre-chopped, pre-mixed a bunch of different kinds of vegetables.

Sometimes there's a seasoning or sauce packet right in that bag for a stir fry or something like that.

You can get the fajita vegetables to add to your meat and taco seasoning mix.

I think that the pre-mixed, most of the work is done for you vegetables from an energy standpoint and the frozen ones are usually cheaper than fresh.

So that also can really help from a budget standpoint.

I think those are really, really useful tools for figuring out how to fit vegetables into our diets and a great way to try a lot of different things all at once and then figure out from there what your preferences are.

So when we are stressed and we're not getting enough sleep, that increases our appetite.

We tend to crave high energy density foods, which tend to be packaged foods and not

fresh fruits and vegetables.

And we tend to have less mental space for anything that's a breakout side of our routine, right?

When we are barely hanging on, we really rely on the predictability of routine.

And that even includes the types of foods that we are buying and preparing and eating.

We really rely on that routine to just survive.

Because it's not just about living far away from a grocery store, although it's also that.

It's not just about the less amount of time to prepare food if you're working two or three jobs, although it is also that.
