I was really excited when I was recently contacted by Libby's to try out one of their brand new product lines, Libby's Fruit and Vegetable Cups! I've worked with Libby's for past posts (Baked Cream Cheese Corn and Crumbled Bacon and Overnight Refrigerator Pear Oatmeal), and I really love their products!
What I think is really great about the new line (that is available in stores nationwide!) is that they are portioned cups. They are 4 ounces each, which is so perfect for so many reasons. I can't tell you how many times I've opened a larger can or bag of fruit or veggies when I only needed just a little bit of what's in it. Been there? If I don't have plans to use the leftovers, I end up throwing them away, and that's something I don't want to do. Now I can use one or two of the Libby's Cups in a recipe and nothing goes to waste. Perfect!
The portioned cups are also great when feeding little ones in your family. I can open up a cup of fruit or veggies for my two-year-old at lunchtime and again, nothing goes to waste! The prep is super quick and easy, too, which means no meltdowns from my little guy. That makes me a happy Momma.
Or, how about those picky eaters in your family? Is one person not too crazy about carrots? Does one person always want peas? No problem! Everyone can pick the side they want and everyone's happy!
Here are a few more reasons why I give Libby's Vegetable and Fruit Cups a thumbs up:
- Packed with vitamins and minerals, Fruit & Vegetable Cups offer a complete serving of healthy goodness.
- Take them everywhere and eat them anywhere! Enjoy them for packed lunches, customizable dinners and on-the-go snacks.
- All fruit and vegetables are grown and packed in the United States.
Here are a few recipes that are perfectly suited for Libby's Vegetable Cups!
Homemade Chicken Pot Pie, Seared Scallops with Creamy Bacon Corn Sauce, Chicken and Buttermilk Dumplings, and Butternut Squash and Sausage Shepherd's Pie. (Clockwise from top left.)
