So, for your next pasta night, opt for noodles made from squash, zucchini, sweet potato, carrots, or turnips. It will forever change your world!
Add A Side Salad To Every Meal
This may not be particularly exciting or revolutionary advice, but eating a salad at every meal is the way to go. Salads provide many opportunities to add veggies like carrots, cucumbers, spinach, arugula, and cabbage. Bags of pre-washed greens make preparation easy and fast, while dressings bring on the flavor.
But if you find lettuce leaves far too bland, even when they’re slathered with dressing, you can top your salad with a variety of ingredients. Some popular toppings include croutons, hard-boiled eggs, shredded cheese, sunflower seeds, and dried fruits, such as cranberries and raisins. Don’t be afraid to do a little experimentation and see what tastes best for you!
Eat Vegetables For Breakfast
I’m a big fan of vegetables for breakfast. Lots of breakfast dishes are just better when vegetables are in the picture. The vitamins are always a plus, but eating fresh produce in the morning can also help with maintaining a healthy weight.
The fiber in veggies will fill you up, so you won’t be hungry for a while. Whip up an omelet or egg scramble that’s chock-full of veggies! Add spinach, onions, peppers, broccoli, or mushrooms. A green smoothie is good for breakfast as well.
Snack On Veggies
Throughout the day, snack on greens that will fill your belly, helping you make it to your next meal and meet your vegetable quota. Munching on baby carrots or celery sticks can get old after a while, so switch things up by dunking them in various dips and dressings.
The addition of ranch or hummus can make your vegetable-eating experience more enjoyable. You can even try spreading peanut butter on pieces of celery for a sweet, nutty flavor.
Crunchy, homemade kale chips and sweet potato fries can also make eating veggies fun. You won’t be able to resist veggies when they’re served in the form of your favorite junk foods! If you have kids, you’ll probably find that they’ll flock toward these snacks like bees to honey.
