Yum! A good way to get your veggies in!

Once in a while I get coupons in the mail to try things for free. One of the perks for working for ww Chat Icon Chat Icon

They are so genius for doing this because now I have to tell everyone and their mother about this. Chat Icon

Green giant has the "just for one" frozen microwaveable veggie sides. I love eating veggies so I looked at this skeptically thinking there is no way it could be much better than plain old veggies. Boy was I wrong!

I had the Peas & Corn in a Basil Butter Sauce and boy did it taste like butta baby and it was only 1 point (be careful though because it tasted like it had a lot of sodium). Went along great with my leftover grilled steak Chat Icon

So that's the only one I've tried but I'd love to know if anyone has tried the others and how they are. Some of them are 0 points!

Other varieties

Thank you! I've been making myself healthy wraps for lunch and have been looking for some kind of non fattening side dish!

I have been eating these with my lunch for about 3 weeks now (not everyday but often). I REALLY like the broccli and cheese and the butter corn ones. I didn't like the peas and corn one though.

We get the steam bags of veggies. They are for two which is just perfect for us! Very good. We mix it with a little barilla plus pasta, chicken and sauce and it's a good quick meal!

I have tried the broccoli and cheese and also the corn and butter. Both were good and perfect to make at work for lunch.

Also I cannot remember the brand but there are ones that come in little steamer baggies. One is an antioxidant blend with edamame, carrots, etc, soo good!

Thanks for the info! Do you know where I can find these things? I haven't seen them in stop & shop yet. Are they usually next to the frozen veggies?
