I admit it. To my secret shame I am not always a healthy eater. It’s not that I don’t like to eat healthy–although I can never resist a delicious home baked good–but my lifestyle that messes with my diet. I am often on the go at lunchtime and I either wait until I am ravenous to grab a bite to eat or grab some fast food. Either way makes for a bad combination. When I was sent some coupons for Green Giant frozen vegetables, I remembered, “Hey! I used to eat these all the time.” These meals are the perfect size for single servings and I can heat them in the microwave in a matter of minutes; around seven to be exact, which is usually a shorter time than the wait in a fast food line during rush hour. I could store them in a small insulated cooler and whip them out on a moment’s notice for lunch on the go.
Here’s some facts you might not know about frozen vegetables:
- Frozen Vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh because most are picked and frozen on the same day, locking in vitamins and nutrients.
- Frozen Veggies can save you time. They are already peeled, chopped and ready to go, cutting down on prep time on busy evenings. Keeping a few boxes in the freezer saves time by having them on hand and not having to run by the store to pick up fresh veggies.
- Frozen Veggies can save you money. Frozen veggies can be cheaper than picking up fresh out of season vegetables.
- Serving Sizes can be bigger than you think! For 100 calories you can have one to two cups of veggies. (Compare that to a candy bar! You wouldn’t even get to eat an entire bar for 100 calories.)
In case you didn’t know, Green Giant has 27 varieties of Frozen vegetables with 100 calories or less per serving. I am a fan of the Creamed Spinach. Since I am the only person in the household who likes creamed spinach, this is a perfect indulgence for me and keeps me from wasting food by having too many leftovers. Sometimes when there are only a couple of us home for dinner, I make a “Veggie platter,” and include four different Green Giant Varieties. It gives us a variety of veggies that we split and serve with a roll. Yum!
