1 cup (medium) of Mixed Steamed Vegetables (120 g) has 46 calories. That works out to 38 calories per 100 g. It contains 8.6 g of carbs, 2.6 g of protein, 0.4 g of fat and 3.7 g of fiber. Its 504 µg of Vitamin A covers 56% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Mixed Steamed Vegetables brings together vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and green beans, cooked until tender while keeping their shapes distinct. The exact mix can vary with the season or whatever is on hand, making it an easy side to prepare at home.
Their mild, fresh flavours and soft-but-firm texture work alongside roasted meats, fish, grains or beans. Serve them warm with a little olive oil and lemon, or let them cool and fold them into a salad. A light seasoning helps the vegetables’ own flavours come through.
This is a low-calorie way to add fibre and a range of vitamins and minerals to a meal; a 100 g portion has 38 calories. For a more filling plate, pair it with lentils, eggs or another source of protein, and avoid overcooking to keep the vegetables pleasantly firm.

Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Mixed steamed vegetables commonly include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and green beans. You can also add peas or zucchini, but cut everything into similar-sized pieces so the vegetables cook evenly.
Steam mixed steamed vegetables until the pieces are tender but still hold their shape. Start firmer vegetables such as carrots first, then add quicker-cooking broccoli and cauliflower; check them as they cook rather than relying on one time for every mix.
To keep mixed steamed vegetables from getting soggy, avoid overcrowding the steamer and stop cooking as soon as the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess water promptly, since vegetables left sitting in hot water continue to soften.
Yes, frozen vegetables work well for mixed steamed vegetables. Add them straight from the freezer rather than thawing them first, and check for doneness early because smaller frozen pieces may cook faster than fresh, larger-cut vegetables.
Season mixed steamed vegetables after cooking so salt and sauces do not draw out moisture during steaming. Try olive oil with lemon, black pepper, and herbs, or add a little garlic; a strong sauce can easily overwhelm the vegetables.
Mixed steamed vegetables pair well with roasted chicken, fish, tofu, eggs, or beans. They also make a useful side for rice or potatoes; add a protein-rich main dish if you want the meal to be more filling.
Yes, you can reheat mixed steamed vegetables, but brief reheating helps them keep their shape. Warm only the portion you plan to eat in a covered pan or microwave, and avoid heating it repeatedly because the texture becomes softer.
Yes, cooked mixed steamed vegetables can be frozen, although broccoli and cauliflower may become softer after thawing. Cool them promptly, pack them in portions, and use them in soups, casseroles, or sauces where a change in texture matters less.
Steaming mixed vegetables usually exposes them to less water than boiling, so fewer water-soluble nutrients can leach into cooking water. Both methods can make vegetables easier to eat; avoid overcooking, and use boiling water in soup if you boil them.
Mixed steamed vegetables can support a filling, lower-energy meal because they add volume and fiber. Pair them with a source of protein and a satisfying portion of grains or other staples, rather than relying on vegetables alone.
