We all know its tough getting kids to eat their veggies. I have tried taking away snacks, revoking television and video game privileges, putting them to bed early, and making them sit at the table. None of these punishments had any results. So instead of fighting with my kids to eat their veggies, I am using some inventive methods of concealing them--with a little help from Bird's Eye. Their new Veggie Made dishes are the perfect way to sneak a helping of healthy veggies to even the most finicky kids. You can swap in the good stuff and your kids will never know it!
Veggie Made is a new line from Bird's Eye that includes pasta, rice, and mashed varieties. These low calorie side dishes replace starches with veggies, and they taste so amazing no one will ever know the difference. Each one offers a full serving of vegetables and has no artificial ingredients. Plus, prep time is quick and easy thanks to Birds Eye’s Steamfresh packaging. Substituting veggies for pasta has become increasingly popular using zoodles and spaghetti squash, but with Birds Eye there’s no sacrifice. Veggie Made tastes, looks and feels like traditional side dishes, while offering a full serving of vegetables – and unlike other options, this pasta is easy to prepare and ready in minutes. Here is a little about each of the varieties.
Veggie Made Pastas
Veggie Made pastas come in a variety of tasty flavors including Original Zucchini Lentil Pasta, Spinach Lentil Pasta with Alfredo Sauce, Zucchini Lentil Pasta with Cheddar Sauce and Zucchini Lentil Pasta with Marinara Sauce. I was a little concerned that they would come out mushy in the microwave, but those worries were in vain. It comes out perfect, and is packed with flavor. I think the pastas are my favorite. I not only use them as a side dish for dinner for the family, I've also been enjoying them for lunch myself! They are a great meal and very satisfying. Veggie Made Pasta from Birds Eye is the perfect pasta. It has the great taste of traditional pasta, the goodness of vegetables and comes in a convenient microwavable package.
Veggie Made Riced Cauliflower
The Veggie Made riced cauliflower is pretty amazing. It's made from cauliflower, but you would never know it. It looks, feels, and tastes exactly like regular rice. The flavored varieties can be eaten on their own and the plain is perfect to use in your original recipes. The extensive list of flavors of Riced Cauliflower include: Original, Roasted Garlic, Savory Herb, and Italian Cheese.
Veggie Made Mashed
Like the rice, the mashed potatoes are made with cauliflower or sweet potatoes, and again, you wouldn't know if they didn't tell you. I swapped these for our regular mashed potatoes, and my kids had no clue! They gobbled up every bite. Choose from flavors like: Original Cauliflower, Sour Cream & Chives Cauliflower, Roasted Garlic Cauliflower, and Sweet Potatoes & Carrots with Brown Sugar.
Like all products from Bird's Eye, the Veggie Made line is not only tasty, but also super convenient. All you have to do it toss the bag in the microwave for a few minutes. Once it's finished, cut the bag and pour it into a bowl. No messy clean up and no waiting for water to boil! These delicious and nutritious side dishes have become a staple of our meals. For the first time, my kids are eating veggies without complaint. That makes me one happy mama!
We all know how tough it can be to get our families to eat more vegetables. Whether you’re struggling with a teenager who seems to eat everything, but somehow nothing healthy, are searching Pinterest for ways to hide veggies from your toddler, or just trying to eat better, Birds Eye vegetables has the perfect solution – pasta, rice, and mashed that are made from veggies! Start your new school year out on the right foot! Look for Bird's Eye Veggie Made products in the frozen section of your local grocery market today! They are definitely #SoVeggieGood!
