Trader Joe’s Creamed Greens with Brussels Sprouts, Kale & Parmesan Cheese Review

Trader Joe's Creamed Greens  with Brussels Sprouts, Kale & Parmesan Cheese

The Freezer Meal Frenzy staffers may enjoy junk food from time to time, but we’ve never been reluctant to scarf down veggies. From carrots to cucumbers, we’ve raved over many veggie dishes.

That said, we have no complaints about combining veggies with less healthy ingredients, like a large helping of cheese! So the Trader Joe’s Creamed Greens with Brussels Sprouts, Kale & Parmesan Cheese is right up our alley.

There are two ways to heat these greens: you can nuke them in the microwave for 5 to 6 minutes, or you can heat them in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes. If you’re not pressed for time, we’d recommend the oven method. It’ll give you the crispy brown edges you can see in the image below.

All of the veggies taste fresh, and we thought that they came out of the oven cooked perfectly.

If you’re grabbing this dish for the Brussels sprouts, you’re probably going to be disappointed. According to the label, there are some Brussels sprouts in this dish, but they aren’t very prominent. You’re a lot more likely to notice kale and spinach on your fork.

Greens may be prominent in this dish, but there’s a lot of cream and cheese here too. The Parmesan cheese is the perfect compliment for the earthier flavor of the greens, and the crispy brown edges kick the entire dish up a notch. If you’re a fan of creamed spinach, you’ll probably enjoy this side, even if you’re not a big fan of Brussels sprouts or kale.
