I don't eat Veggies

You can take all the vitamins and supplements in the world, but nothing beats veggies! Most meal replacement shakes just create a jelly hunk in you that tricks your body into thinking it's full because your stomach can't digest it. and even the onces with nutrients can't give you everything.
It's just a matter of finding recipes you like.

- Mashed potato: Use sweet potato and normal potato, and add a little crushed garlic. Yum!
- Roasted veggies are easy and tasty : Try roasting carrot, sweet potato, pumpkin, squash, eggplant, corn, onion, garlic, and capsicum. Use rosemary, parsley, garlic flakes, cracked pepper, any herb you like to flavour and drizzle sparingly with olive oil. Whack 'em in the oven and BAM! A delicious, easy and healthy dinner.
- My favourite salad: baby spinach, red onion, cherry tomatoes, carrot, cucumber, avocado. It's simple and is good for you. Try replacing lettuce with spinach goodness (and taste IMO), and sprinkle with sunflower seeds and pepitas for crunch and nutrients. Make your own dressing, or use balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar for taste without the fat and preservatives that come with store bought dressings.
- Bolognese: 600g lean mince, 1 diced onion, 1 diced capsicum, 1 grated carrot, 3/4 cup peas, 1-2 tsp crushed garlic, 1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms, 1 tub of tomato paste, 1 bottle of your favorite pasta sauce (I like dolmio's garlic and red wine), 1 tin of crushed tomatoes (If needed). Cook mince, onion, and garlic. Add other veges. When slightly softened, add pasta sauce and tomato paste. If needed add crushed tomatoes. Stir and simmer with lid on until veges are soft and it smells delicious. Serve with wholemeal pasta and a little parmesan. You won't even know your eating that many veges!
- Vege bake: Use the same recipe you would for potato bake, just add sweet potato, eggplant, zucchini etc.

Smoothies, fruit bowl products or add some to your salads now and then

I was the same way for the longest time but just like the one person said. Just eat them for a week and you start to like them or at least get used to them. Def find different ways to make them. For me, I cannot eat spinach cooked but love it raw and cannot eat tomatoes raw but can eat them cooked. LOL Just experiment and season them.

I would also try to learn to like veggies. How's marinara sauce, tomato sauce on pizza? If those taste ok, tomato soup should be pretty tasty too.

Leek & potato soup? Potato & broccoli work too (similar to cream of broccoli, but lighter).

How about carrot or zucchini in muffins, breads etc? You can even make a beet chocolate cake. Not that those are healthy (healthier than without the veggie!) but that would help with the absolute no to veggies. Look up a winter roll recipe online, one that has squash in it. I recently fed those to an inlaw that does not eat ANY veggies - he had 3 rolls!

Look at sneaky chef recipes - sneak in a bit of mashed butternut squash into mashed potatoes, any pureed (non green) cooked vegetable into that pizza sauce (start with small amounts), do you like pesto? Try adding just a bit of cooked broccoli into that, or spinach. How about hacking spinach into as small as parsley and then adding a bit to your eggs? Increasing the amount very slowly. In general match the color of the sneaky vegetable to what you are sneaking it into to avoid making nasty colored things - think painting and mixing colors

In general, I find that the vegetables that I did not like growing up, were nasty since my mom did not know how to cook them! Overcooked asparagus and brusselsprouts are just nasty!

I'm exactly like you too. I hate vegetables, and certain ones when they are cooking make me gag horribly. What I do as a substitution is Greek yogurt (can't have too much calcium), and a ton of fruit. It's very hard to try to "get used to" certain things that have disgusted you for so long (I tell my family that eating a salad is like eating fresh cut grass clippings). Try drinking the juices with vegetables, but peel the label off so you can't tell the difference (for me personally, I tried this on a dare from my friends and did a blind taste test and could taste the carrot in it immediately, but hopefully your palate isn't as sensitive), and I agree with added shredded carrot and celery in soup/sauce. An emmulson (immersion) blender/food processor really helps with this so that you can't even see the vegetables. Hope you succeed on your veggie journey!

It has already been said but I will repeat.

Try different veggies different ways, roasting in my opinion is the king of veggie prep. My wife was always a picky eater but she has been learning different ways to cook and eat them as I have shown her how.

Here is a recent favorite of hers that we tried and it turned out really good.

Preheat oven to 425°. Cut 1 head cauliflower into florets; toss on a large rimmed baking sheet with 1 sliced medium onion, 4 thyme sprigs, 4 unpeeled garlic cloves, and 3 tablespoons olive oil; season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until almost tender, 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, toss to combine, and roast until cauliflower is tender, 10-12 minutes longer.

Hi, I hate veggies and fruits but I drink a supplement everyday called Dynamic fruits and greens. Plus I started eating some green beans and grapes and apples lately, but the supplement really helps for people who hate veggies and fruits like myself.

You can make smoothies and stuff green veggies in there, you can never taste them that way, all you taste is fruit.

You really need to eat veggies to be healthy.

You don't like them because you don't eat them. Make a commitment to consume them with every meal. The fresher. and less cooked , the better they taste.

With in a few months you will like veggies.

what you like / don't like is far more a factor of your eating habits, than some genetic predisposition for "taste". You can change it if you want to

I think cheating veggies into your meals is a good thing - it is usually done with little kids but it works on adults, too. Also, mushrooms which are quite meaty are a great transition.

There are so many types of veggies out there...are you sure you hate ALL of them? Try different ones, cooked and seasoned in different ways, until you find what you like... you're bound to like SOME of them.

Totally this ^^^^^^^^


I have not enjoyed a LOT of veggies that I've tried, but there's a few that I can tolerate in certain circumstances and about three that I absolutely love.

You better get to adjusting your taste buds then.....and your self control, right? OK, how about tomato and pepper? Corn, peas, onion and carrots in brown fried rice? Avocado on toast..... guacamole?
