"We are constantly listening to our customers and strive to provide new options that satisfy their needs," said Alan Brooks, associate brand manager, Healthy Choice. "Our new organic varieties provide more options to the 45 percent of consumers nationwide who are actively trying to include organic foods in their diet."

Developed by chefs in ConAgra's kitchen, the four new recipes, all with 270 calories or less, are a reflection of current food trends.

• Unwrapped Burrito Bowl: Organic black and pinto beans, fire roasted corn, red bell peppers and scallions with organic whole grain brown rice in a tomatillo sauce
• Sweet & Spicy Asian-Style Noodle Bowl: Udon noodles, organic edamame and carrots, celery, red bell pepper and scallions in a spicy soy sauce
• Three Cheese Tortellini: Organic cheese alongside organic spinach and mushroom in a savory marinara sauce
• Creamy Spinach & Tomato Linguini: Pasta with organic spinach and tomatoes

Healthy Choice Simply Café Steamers meals, including the new organic-ingredient options, are prepared to maximize flavor the healthy way, using techniques that enhance food's natural flavors. The meals feature a special steaming basket that unlocks flavor and freshness and are 100 percent natural – made with nothing artificial. The four new dishes are also made using all Non-GMO ingredients.

"The transformative process of steam creates a lightness and energy in every Healthy Choice Café Steamers meal," said Brooks. "Cooking with steam transforms simple ingredients into vibrant and crisp vegetables, juicy proteins and perfectly cooked grains for a delicious, fresh taste."

The new meals will begin rolling out this spring and reach full national distribution by July. Pricing will be consistent with other Healthy Choice Simply Café Steamers recipes (MSRP $3.29) – so Healthy Choice eaters won't have to pay premium prices to enjoy eating organic ingredients.
