Green Giant Health Blends Vegetables


I saw these at the store last week and picked up a couple of packages as a way to try some vegetables I'm not normally inclined to eat. These Green Giant Health Blends are: "A delicious way to meet your health goals! Each variety contains premium vegetables, uniquely blended and lightly tossed with a great tasting sauce to provide you with specific nutrients to help you feel at your body’s best." (source)

I tried the Healthy Vision mix tonight and it wasn't that bad. The vegetables (carrots, zucchini, and green beans) come in a microwavable steamer bag and take only 3 or 4 minutes to cook. The Rosemary butter sauce was a little too strong, and the green beans a too little chewy, but overall, it wasn't a bad way to get a couple servings of veggies. And - who knew? - the zucchini was probably my favorite part the mix.

I have the Healthy Weight mix to try next. At about $2 a box, it's a bit more expensive than a can of green beans, but variety ain't a bad thing.
