Vegetable-Infused Frozen Waffles

Garden Lites Waffles are Made with Carrots and Butternut Squash

— October 31, 2016 — Lifestyle
The frozen foods brand Garden Lites recently debuted a new lineup of waffles that are infused with vegetables in order to help consumers pack extra nutrients into their breakfast.

The new Garden Lites Waffles come in both a Homestyle and Blueberry variety for a deliciously satisfying breakfast option that is reminiscent of a popular childhood treat. Despite the tasty flavors, both are comprised of 23 percent vegetables, including nutrient-rich ingredients such as carrots and butternut squash. The waffles are also packed with 18 grams of whole grains to help consumers get more out of their breakfast without sacrificing the familiar foods they love. As the brand's executive vice president explains, "Garden Lites continues to fulfill consumer’s needs by creating delicious and convenient products that offer the health benefits of vegetables, fiber and nutrients."
