    *put finely diced onion in things where you can
    *carrot sticks as a snack
    *quartered tomatos or cherry tomatos as a snack
    *load up sandwiches with lots of salad - lettuce, peppers, onions, carrots, tomatos, cucumbers, beetroot, sprouts... nom nom nom
    *roast them, they always taste different roasted! We're having roasted potatos, sweet potatos, carrots & parsnips with dinner tonight, then peas and cauliflower on the side. Also the rissoles I've made have diced onion in them. That's a whole load of veges, but without it looking like a boring plateful of them. You only need about 1 tbsp of healthy oil to roast a load of veges, if you use any at all. I often roast pumpkin too, but it's not in season here right now and too expensive.
    *remember potato counts as a vegetable, just cook it in a healthy way : )
    *make vegetable soup!

    Have a look here there are some good tips on the right hand side

    And remember - a serving is about a handful, so you may be having more servings than you think!

    If you like broccoli, have you tried cauliflower?

    If you like peas, have you tried sugar snap peas or snow peas?

    Some of those -- the snap peas, I think -- are available as freeze-dried crunchy snacks.
