Sometimes, the idea of trying to be creative with veggies exhausts us. Shortcut alert! With all-stars like Brussels sprouts and kale,
these fresh mixes of sliced veggies are ready to cook and come complete with a perfect sauce. In Sesame Chili, Teriyaki, Ginger Garlic, and Mandarin Orange, they're excellent as side dishes or meal starters: Just add protein, like chicken or shrimp! Find them in the bagged produce section. (P.S. The bags provide enough nutritional detail for us to calculate the
SmartPoints®
values without the 0-point veggies. Yes!)

This just in: Tots are hot!
While French fries are undisputed champs,
new research shows that tots are the second most widely used frozen potato product in food-service establishments. In fact, they've
doubled in popularity over the past four years. As major fans of Tater Tots, we've taken to creating our own carb-slashed version: cauliflower tots!
Check out our recipes as well as
Green Giant's line of frozen Veggie Tots. (We LOVE them!)
Speaking of trends, is algae the next hot ingredient?
From spirulina to seaweed and beyond, algae is popping up in foods all over the place.
Companies are using it for a nutrition boost in baked goods, chocolate, and more.
Thrive Culinary Algae Oil showed up in our kitchen last year; it has more good fats and less saturated fat than other cooking oils! What do you think of algae as an ingredient: appealing or appalling?
