how do you get your veggies?

For breakfast try this, it's so tasty and 1.5-2 servings of veg.

Slice up mushrooms, cut broccoli florets small (one serving of each or 80g each)
Put in fraying pan with 2-3 tablespoons of vegtable broth/stock
Cook until liquid is boiled down
Turn heat to low, pop in dollop of herb & garlic light cream cheese, mix until creamy and combined
Put on two slices of whole-wheat toast.

voila! creamy yummy healthy breakfast that's 2 servings of veg, lots of whole-grains & fiber and tastes like it should be bad for you. This creamy veg mix can also be put onto a baked/jacket potato. Feel free to change the veg around as well. I like to add a serving of small califlower florets sometimes. Carrots or courgettes (zucchinis) might be nice too!

You could have raw vegetables with dips or top some healthy crackers with spinach leaves, a slice of tomato, maybe some olives, wild rocket for a snack if you already have veggies as part of the evening meal.

I use a lot of spinach leaves, peppers, tomatoes, & mushrooms for evening meals, & have started using more broccoli too:)

I have a hard time with veggies because I have a hard time eating them raw (they make my stomach feel 'weird', I don't know how else to explain it! Ha ha!), and I don't always have time to cook. I've actually started microwaving my salads. BUT one awesome thing I've discovered is: Green Monsters! Also known as a smoothie with spinach! Sounds gross but you really have to try it, you CANNOT taste the spinach!

The basic recipe (that I use) is:
1 cup vanilla almond milk (or vanilla soy milk)
1 small or half large banana, (can be frozen)
2 -3 large handfuls of spinach (basically fill the blender)
ice

Blend away! It honestly just tastes like bananas and milk! And you've got two generous servings of green veggies in there. You can do a lot of variations on this too, any kind of fruit works well, and other greens like kale (though it tastes a bit stronger), I know some people add carrots, and you can mix it up with juice, yogurt, protein powder, flax meal, etc.

Thank you!! I've been looking for a green monster type receipe
