Green Giant Boxed Vegetables Review & Giveaway- 29 Varieties Endorsed By Weight Watchers!#WIN

Green Giant’s  love affair for vegetables began over 100 years ago and ever since then the company has been providing families a convenient way of getting delicious and nutritious vegetables to the dinner table.   Each crop is picked at the peak of perfection and immediately frozen or canned to capture nutrients plus preserve freshness.  It’s no wonder  with such care going into making their products the vegetables taste incredibly good and unforgettable.  Not to mention, with with more than 130 varieties to choose from, you’re sure to find a favorite!

I personally enjoy the Green Giant Boxed Vegetables the best, because they are easy to prepare,  nutrients are locked in during the freezing process, and the vegetables retain their Vitamin C and A richness.  PLUS,  now with 29 mouthwatering varieties being endorsed by Weight Watchers, I can eat up delicious vegetables with sauces and seasonings and still stay on track with my weight management goals.  Most of the selections have only a 1 or 2 PointsPlus value per serving and sport the Weight Watchers blue endorsed label on the front of the box,  so they are very easy to spot and grab in the grocer’s freezer section.  The Weight Watchers Endorsed Boxed Vegetables include…

Broccoli & Cheese

Green Giant Weight Watchers endorsed Broccoli & Cheese.

MyBlogSpark,  recently sent me a sample of Green Giant’s Broccoli & Cheese Sauce frozen boxed vegetables.  Oh my goodness nothing tastes better to me than broccoli smothered in thick cheese sauce. YUMMY!  I’ll be honest I didn’t prepare the vegetables as directed on the box, because I don’t believe in boiling or microwaving any food within plastic pouches.  It was just as easy for me to open up the bag and heat the vegetables plus sauce in my Cuisinart Greenware  eco-friendly nonstick saucepan.  I added a touch of skim milk to help the cooking process and the Broccoli & Cheese came out wonderful!   However, you do what you feel most comfortable with.  It’s only my personal preference and it probably increased the calorie content a smidgen by including a touch of milk .  If you cook as directed a 2/3 cup serving is approximately 60 calories and 25 calories being of fat.  Not bad considering the broccoli and cheese tasted sinfully good! Definitely my favorite!

    I like to get the no-sauce veggies (especially the peas or peapods) and just add some Olivio (what we use in place of butter or margarine). I also add a touch of mint to the peas.

  3. Cat says

    My DH takes what amounts to a bento box to work every day for lunch. His favorite is rice with steamed broccoli with a dash of Asian sweet chili sauce and kung pao sauce mixed in. Pretty easy to prepare; healthier and much cheaper than a store bought sandwich for lunch.

  16. susie lee wiener says

    my fav. way of preparing Green Giant Boxed vegetables is to add low-cal melted cheese on it. It’s delicious!

    I like ’em right out of the microwave. Usually will eat that first before I finish my main entree.

    Thanks for the giveaway >^..^<

  103. Diane R. says

    Mostly I like them plain with a bit of butter or olive oil. Sometimes I will add chopped fresh herbs.

  104. McKim says

    I like to use the Garden Vegetable Medley in my homemade vegetable soup.

  106. Lori S says

    I like to add the veggies that are not in sauce to a pasta sauce.

    Thanks!

  110. Meaghan F. says

    I always just heat them up in the microwave and put them in a bowl. I should probably try a different method sometime.

  112. Lorena Keech says

    I bake potatoes and serve the broccoli with cheese sauce on them for an easy meal.

  113. deana c says

    My favorite way to prepare the Green Giant veggies is in the microwave right out of the box!

  114. Lisa says

    I like to prepare the Green Giant Box Vegetables the way it says on the package, although sometimes I may add a little milk or butter for more creaminess.

  118. Katherine C says

    We just stick ’em in the microwave! I often add mixed veggies to fried rice 🙂

    serialxlainx at yahoo dot com

  119. ashley says

    i have only ever served them as a side and prepared them as directed on packaging. i never really though about doing something different with them

  126. Jessica G. says

    My favorite way is the microwave! Why not when they make it so easy and delicious, LOL! I also like to sneak veggies into my foods (some corn with tacos, spinach with pasta, etc).

  132. Mir says

    Most of the time I just steam the veggies. Sometimes I add some celery seeds for extra flavor. But my daughter eats the peas frozen most of the time – loves them as a snack!

  133. Rosey says

    We use them as a quick, nutritious side dish at dinner, or we use them to make casseroles easier to prepare. Both are favorites of mine.

  134. Happi Shopr says

    I halve Brussels Sprouts, toss with olive oil and seasoning and roast until lightly golden.

  135. Karen says

    I love them just prepared as is but sometimes do a crumb/nut topping 🙂

  136. beverly mckinley says

    by the directions on the box…im a starter cook so im tickled pink when something comes out of my try in the kitchen without my family flinching, cringing etc. green giant has directions even i can follow without destroying making me happy and my family relieved.

  146. Patrice says

    I use the plain (unsauced) vegetables and add a little lemon butter and chopped chives to them.

  148. Suzanna60 says

    i like the no sauce veggies -then i add garlic or bacon or whatever i am in the mood for to dress them up

  155. Sylvia says

    I like to use Green Giant vegetables in my soups and pot pies. The kids love to eat them that way too!

  170. meme says

    I love to put the green giant brocolli and cheese on a baked potato with bacon bits
