I like to make myself a salad with my meal. Salads aren’t always just leaves and veggies. You can customize it to whatever you want. Maybe add some protein. Try using your favourite salad green and maybe a few more veggies such as pepper and cucumber. And top it off with your favourite homemade vinaigrette. This is such an easy way to have what veggies you need and keep your body healthy. Salad can be had as a side or as a meal in it’s self.
Salads for lunch and green smoothies to pack in the nutrients. Kale chips are another great way to add those leafy greens into your everyday diet.
I’m not always good at this! For me it helps to preprepare a lot of greens or veggies so that I can grab them just as easily as I would grab a junky snack.
I try to think about how much healthier I feel when I choose veggie options over meat options. I try to keep lots of fresh fruit and veggies on hand to avoid senseless snacking on convenience items like chips.
Pretty much no matter what meal I eat I chop up a bunch of vegetables into it. For example: Eggs—I first sauté whatever leftover vegetables I have or fresh if there are no leftovers. Anything goes, broccoli, zucchini, cabbage, and often a large portion of salsa that I cook till they are a bit browned. Then I crack an egg on top, put on the lid and steam until done. Nuts or cheese or pickled veggies can add interest. For soup add a giant handful of chopped or leftover vegetables before I reheat. Salad with almost every meal.
Smoothies (but using the whole veggie blended). Soups are another good way. Only buy a week’s supply of veggies when you go to the grocery store. That way they will always be fresh and it’s easier to not feel guilty if you don’t eat enough and have to throw most away. Start small. Add your favorite veggie to every meal and then branch out
I wish someone could answer that question for me. I do have trouble having an easy way but I try to use only frozen veggies when I’m in a hurry.
The easiest way is to make them flavorful for my taste buds. Seasoning helps a lot. The second easiest way is to make meals and hide the veggies in them. Like spinach cheese and egg omelettes.
Just add them to whatever you’re already eating. Chop up a bit of romaine and add it to rice and beans. Sautee some spinach and eat it with chicken. It gets easier when you start doing it. And also, it helps if you buy a bunch, that way you won’t want to let them go to waste.
Salad myself, with dressings that are food based with quality oils and herbs. Choose a focus vegetable besides the leaves chosen.
