How do you eat your veggies?

JenMarie8781

I like most veggies cooked but there are only a few I can eat raw without dressing or anything. And I am trying to avoid dressing and dips because those just add a lot of extra sodium. So I need some ideas on how to make them taste better without adding a lot of extra calories or sodium!

Spices galore! I never thought I liked veggies but YUM now I do!
Lots of spices - cayenne, garlic salt or powder, onion salt or powder, lemon pepper, paprika, regular pepper.
Usually we steam them.

I steam my veggies ahead of time. When I want extra flavor then I will reheat them and throw them on a skillet with some liquid aminos (soy sauce alternative), chilli powder, and pepper.

I've recently become obsessed with roasting veggies-- especially asparagus and broccoli. I just spray with a little olive oil and use a bunch of freshly ground salt & black pepper-- sodium isn't a huge concern for me, but I do sometimes forgo the salt and they're still delicious. I also sometimes squeeze some lemon or lime juice on top. Fantastic.

On the grill!

Mine is usually frozen Spinach cooked in the micro for 6 with a sprinkling of garlic on to bring out the zing. Same can apply to broccoli too.

In stir frys, on the grill, raw, etc. Love veggies...Going to the Farmer's Market again this weekend to stock up. Bring on the eggplant!

I am not a fan of vegetables so I put them in a green smoothie and it is great. 1/3 green vegetables, 1/3 fruit and 1/3 water.
Currently I am doing Kale, Spinach, Watermelon, Pineapple and a squeeze of lemon!

Most of the time we just roast them with a little olive oil and salt.

I like to steam mine or sautee them. I also like to toss in non-salt spices for extra flavor. Good stuff.

Why can't you eat the others raw?

I eat them all raw or steamed.

I've been roasting tons of veggies in the oven, typically without any oil, and sprinkled with whatever spice suits my current whims--pepper, cayenne, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, chili powder, etc. Zucchini, acorn squash, brussel sprouts, and asparagus get this treatment with varying degrees of spice. Spinach and broccoli I eat raw or lightly steamed. Kale I either steam or chop very finely and eat raw with a bit of lemon juice and some of the above spices.

I really love mine raw (especially salads). A great way to add flavor without many calories is by adding a little lemon juice, pepper (and salt, if you must) and a dash of lite olive oil.
