Vegan on a Budget: Freezing Avocados and Other Stuff.
I like to buy avocados from Costco or just way too many when they’re on sale, so we’ll start there. Slice them, pit or no pit (doesn’t seem to make a difference). They all freeze the same. One little hint though, a quick brush of lime juice keeps them nice and green.
A few general tips on freezing food:
Always make sure it’s cool, don’t try to freeze hot foods.
Label and don’t forget the date! Most things keep 3-6 months
It costs less to run a full freezer. Pack it in and if you don’t have enough to fill it up, freeze big bottles of water.
Other things you can freeze:
Nuts and seeds: Buy in bulk and freeze what you won’t use within a few weeks.
Bread: Sandwich bread, buns, breadcrumbs, baguettes. If you freeze baguettes, wrap in foil and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees (depending on the size of your baguette.)
Baked Goods: Muffins, pancakes, waffles, cookies
Fruit: Great for fruit that’s about to be too ripe. Freeze it for use in smoothies or muffins later.
Soups: Make lunch size portions and pull out of the freezer the night before.
Vegetables: chopped onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers; all perfect for making soups
Wine: Use ice cube trays and drop it in your next recipes.
Just freeze in little tupperware 1/2 cup or 1 cup portions. A vegan staple you’ll be happy to have on hand!
