Until now, with the help of Green Giant, we tried something a little different. Without their knowledge, their favorite Sweet Butternut Squash Soup is now packed full of vegetables. No more fighting to get them to eat their veggies.

Green Giant Frozen Vegetables

Why should you buy Green Giant Frozen Vegetables? Because they are the perfect solution for busy moms. Instead of fresh veggies that will go bad before you can eat them, Green Giant veggies are frozen at the peak of freshness. While some frozen vegetables are full of sauces and gluten, Green Giant Riced Cauliflower is gluten-free without sauces or seasonings, so you can add them to your favorite recipes without sacrificing the flavor you love.

What your kids to eat more vegetables? Instead of serving fries or tater tots, try the Veggie Tots from Green Giant. They come in broccoli and broccoli and cheddar bites. Let me warn you now, they are addicting. SO delicious.

Where can you buy Green Giant Riced Veggies and Veggie Tots? At your local Walmart. That’s right, as you are picking up another pack of diapers, batteries for the toys that recently stopped working, and clothes for the kids who went through a growth spurt, you can head over to the Frozen Food Section, go down the Frozen Vegetable aisle, and pick up these bags of yummy goodness.
