Has anyone else tried the new Birds Eye Steamfresh Protein Blends? They make several different varieties and they are vegetarian (some may be vegan) and are excellent sources of fiber and protein.

I tried the Hawaiian blend and it was not bad. I've used it as both a side and the main protein/fiber source of the meal. They make several options.

hey Gemme:
Yes, I have tried several of them. I love the Hawaiian, the Thai, & the Tuscan ones. I tried to eat the Asian one..BUT it is way too spicy for me...perhaps it has curry in it? Anywhoski, yes these are awesome & I can make about 3 meals out of them for myself....
Thanks for sharing them...

A friend makes this often and I always enjoy it.

Ingredients:

1 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 Cup of Cashews
1/2 Cup of Water

Mix it in a Vitamix or something similar until smooth and creamy.

Eat it cold or hot. I like it hot with a touch of salt.

It's delicious.
