Loved my lunch today.
We cooked up the rest of some lean ground beef which I combined with black beans and topped with salsa. On the side I had some steamed vegetables.
This worked out really well! It was pretty filling and tasted great.
The vegetables were a pack of Wattie’s SteamFresh Frozen Vegetables. They have a bunch of different kinds apparently but I picked up the Baby Carrots, Broccoli, and Cauliflower version last week during our normal grocery shop. I used these kinds of things when I was in the US and it made getting extra veggie servings so easy that I wanted to see if anything here in New Zealand would work in the same way.
Thoughts on Wattie’s SteamFresh Frozen Vegetables Baby Carrots, Broccoli, and Cauliflower
Price: The bag I got was $2.99 and there are others that are $3.99. I split the bag with Kepa for lunch so my serving cost about $1.50. That’s pretty good.
Taste: I really liked the taste because it tasted like plain steamed veggies! I tried a lot of brands in the past that included some sort of random sauce or spices with the vegetables but I don’t find that necessary. I prefer the vegetables to be by themselves and steam without any extras.
Ease of use: Obviously frozen steam packs of vegetables are easy to use. 4:15 in the microwave and it’s done. Success!
Thoughts: Overall this is a positive review! I enjoyed the vegetables and didn’t find anything wrong with them for what they are. We will definitely be buying them again and working them into our meals on days when we don’t have anything prepared but still want healthy vegetables. Awesome!
