Green Giant Broccoli & Cheese Sauce Boxed Vegetables Prize Pack Giveaway (Closed)
This giveaway is now closed.
Well all know how important it is to eat healthy foods throughout the day and one way to do that is to incorporate vegetables into our lunches and/or dinners every day. It isn’t always easy to make sure we’re picking out the right vegetables at the store, so when all else fails, I do go to the frozen food aisle to pick out vegetables that were frozen within mere hours–or less–from the time they were picked.
One brand I go to quite a bit is Green Giant and through MyBlogSpark, I was given the opportunity to try out a box of their broccoli & cheese sauce frozen vegetables. You may think that cheese smothered-vegetables aren’t the healthiest route to go, but in addition to being really good–really, really good–they are 60 calories per serving and endorsed by Weight Watchers, possessing a 2 PointsPlus value per serving.
I have tried a few different brands of frozen vegetables with a cheese sauce and when you take them out of the freezer, the cheese is in these chips that are meant to melt when you put them in the microwave for a few minutes. On a number of occasions, these chips have not melted and after putting them back in the microwave, you run a great, big chance of overcooking the vegetables. This is not good. However, I am happy to be able to say that Green Giant broccoli & cheese sauce frozen vegetables do not contain these miraculous, impossible to melt cheese chips.
The Green Giant broccoli & cheese sauce frozen vegetables are contained within a plastic bag that you simply cut a small slit in and microwave for 5 minutes. In those 5 minutes, when you take the bag out of the microwave, it is completely cooked and the cheese is melted thoroughly. It is a little difficult to get the vegetables out of the plastic bag, so you will definitely want to have scissors handy to cut the bag open and then a spoon to get the cheese sauce out of the bag because it definitely sticks.
Overall, I was really happy with the quality of the vegetables, how thoroughly the cheese was melted through the vegetables and they tasted really great.
Green Giant has a really extensive selection of both frozen and canned vegetables. In addition to the broccoli & cheese sauce, the frozen boxed vegetable collection includes cauliflower & cheese sauce, honey glazed carrots, baby sweet peas & butter sauce and a series of Simply Steam vegetable flavors.
You can also get new recipes right from Green Giant by visiting their website and if you’re planning on picking up a box of Green Giant frozen vegetables, get a coupon for 50 cents off any box.

I “sneak” in veggies wherever I can to my recipes. Veggies by themselves don’t get eaten as easily as they do when mixed in with something else.
I always manage to sneak in some kind of veggies into my (savory) meals.
We have started swtiching out items we regularly use for healthier options. Brown Rice for White Riche. Whole Wheat Pasta for Regular Pasta. Fresh Vegetables for canned.
We also are one week down on a new movement, Meatless Monday!
i drink a glass of orange juice every morning. Thanks
