    I eat them raw with either hummus or ranch dip. Other than that I usually steam them.

    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!

    I do the same thing! Love them! My favorite is Kale, pineapple & mango! You eat or drink rather all your veggies & fruits for the day!

    I like my green smoothies, kale, bananas, and usually frozen fruit, blended with as little water as possible.
    Smoothies have no added fats like when you eat salads. leafy greens is where its at for nutrition and weight loss.

    I love a veggie wrap, I use lettuce, tomato, avocado, bell peppers, onions, cucumbers, sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, I smear down some roasted red pepper hummus and some dijionaise and wrap it up. Voila, healthy and raw with little sodium!. It's like a salad wrap. You could also put beans in it too

    I love salads. Balsamic vinegar and olive oil has 2mg of sodium.

    If you make your own dressing, sodium doesn't have to be an issue - An overabundance of sodium in your diet indicates that you're eating a lot of storebought foods that have a lot of sodium as a flavor preservative.

    Agree with roasting! Asparagus, carrots, brussel sprouts, peppers and such. A little olive oil, garlic powder, pepper. Yum! I like the idea of spraying the oil on. Brilliant! Also, kale chips and brussel sprouts chips. Also, roasted--wash, and divide them into bit size pieces, light oil lightly and roast till crispy--add herbs and spice!

    I think fiber is a huge part of getting the pounds off. I eat raw broccoli slaw almost daily with red wine vinegar and a bit of olive oil. I sometimes add beans or a bit of salmon, vinegar is a fun way (and spices) to avoid sodium and make raw veggies fun.:smile:

    I love to buy the frozen veggies in steamable bags ~ no mess. For fresh veggies I use the ziploc brand steamable bags. Mrs Dash has some great tasting spice mixtures. My favorite is the Southwest Chipotle with sliced zucchini or green beans. Yummmmm!! I also found a sugar free bottled dressing that is low in calories and sodium. Maple Grove Farms of Vermont Sugar Free Raspberry Vinaigrette has 5 calories and 160 mg of sodium for 2 tablespoons. This is great over steamed broccoli or veggie stir fry. Or zap a bag of broccoli slaw in the microwave for about 3 minutes and add the vinaigrette.
