This summer we’ve really gotten off track with eating right. My kids, like many others I’m sure, don’t care for vegetables. I’ve taken to serving fruit with dinner most nights just to avoid the drama. With school starting next week I’ve made a vow to get back to better meal planning and incorporating more vegetables into our diets.
Birds Eye is making our transition back to better eating so smooth my kids don’t even realize they are eating their veggies! Veggie Made Pasta from Birds Eye has the delicious flavor of pasta favorites and are made with the goodness of vegetables. Even better, they come in convenient microwave packaging and heat up in just minutes making them the perfect side to any meal on busy week nights.
You may have tried sneaking vegetables to your family by making “zoodles” from zucchini or hiding veggies by blending them into a sauce. Trust me, Birds Eye makes things so much simpler. Veggie Made Pasta looks, tastes and feels like traditional pasta so there’s no sacrifice and no skeptical side eyes from your kiddos. They offer a full serving of vegetables and come in several varieties including marinara, cheddar and alfredo. Veggie Made Pasta from Birds Eye is made from real vegetables instead of wheat flour.
What I love about Birds Eye Veggie Made Pasta:
- No dirty pots and pans
- No waiting for the water to boil
- Cooks perfectly in the microwave in just a few minutes
- A great way to add a full serving of vegetables to your diet!
- And the #1 reason — my kids truly enjoy the flavor so no tears at the dinner table!
In case you’re curious, the ingredients in the pasta are water, green lentil flour, zucchini or spinach, and egg whites. Sauces are also added. While the pasta is gluten free, it is not made in a gluten free facility.
The pasta starts as “dough”, is shaped into penne or rotini shapes then cooked and frozen. The product is preserved by the flash freezing process which also seals in nutrients. There are no added preservatives.
You can find Birds Eye Veggie Made Pasta varieties at most major retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $3.49 each. I’ve got my freezer stocked and ready for back to school, do you? Give these a try — if your kids are anything like mine, they won’t be disappointed!
