Birds Eye Steamfresh Veggie Made Rotini Marinara



Recommended Posts

I discovered this new Pasta substitute at Walmart the other day and finally got around to trying it tonight. It's delicious!

There are three other flavors, too -- zucchini/lentil penne in olive oil or a cheddar cheese sauce, and spinach/lentil rotini in alfredo sauce. This is the only one I've tried.

It's 8g Protein for a 1.25 cup serving, so 1.6g for 1/4 cup. I mixed mine with 1/4 cup of seasoned chicken breast for a total 1/2 cup meal with 10.6g protein.

More info on the company's website.

Wow! I'm incredibly excited about this! Thanks so much for the heads up. It has about half the carbs of regular rotini and about 3/4 of the cals. And as you said, if we're only eating 1/4c mixed with Protein and other veg, it really makes the carb count manageable. :)

To follow up: they were good the first time cooked, but not as leftovers (they became gummy).

I've had all the flavors and they are good substitutes and easy for voodles, no spiralizing, ect. (veggie noodles).

Good to know about left overs though, I haven't had them since surgery and I know I'd need to save some back.

I saw these in the store the other day! I bought the riced cauliflower but haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the review of the "pasta".

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
