As families settle into new routines for the new year, Green Isle has launched three delicious and convenient vegetable sides, perfect for taking the stress out of mealtimes. With these new additions, Green Isle is helping busy Irish families to save time, while serving up nutritious delicious meals that everyone will love!
A recent survey of family meal habits carried out by Green Isle has revealed some fascinating insights into the everyday challenges and preferences of home cooks nationwide. The survey has shown that while the majority of families (73%) cook meals from scratch at home 4 or more times a week, time pressure remains a significant barrier to preparing family meals more often. Over half (57%) of people cited lack of time as the main obstacle, with nearly half (49%) admitting that finding meal inspiration and catering to fussy eaters also pose challenges. Despite these hurdles, 96% of participants said they would cook more often if meal prep time could be halved, highlighting the growing demand for quicker, more convenient cooking solutions.
Green Isle has three new delicious vegetable sides to choose from Ready Roasted Vegetables with Lightly Seasoned Potato, Penne Pasta and Vegetables with a Light Italian-Style Seasoning and Ready Chargrilled Vegetables with Lightly Seasoned Potato.
Ready Roasted Vegetables with Lightly Seasoned Potato - This tasty combination includes roasted broccoli, peppers, onions, courgette, and potato, making it an easy way to create a satisfying midweek dinner.
