    No, it seems like I rarely eat enough vegetables. I like all veggies, though.

    I know I get at least 5/day but it's not unusual to fit in 8-10. I genuinely don't understand how so few people eat their veggies... seriously? How can you not know how to fit them in?

    I have recently taken to making a green protein smoothie after my workouts :smile: It usually consists of protein powder, plain yogurt, half an avocado, a block of frozen spinach, then topped up with whatever fruit is to hand (usually banana!), plus a touch of vanilla extract and honey to sweeten. Helps get some veg in!

    Most days, yes. We've been having smaller portions of the main component of our meals and making up the difference with loads of veggies, or filling out the main meal with veggies. i.e. adding things to the mince when making lasagne/cottage pie.

    No, though I do get much more than I used to (because anything is much more than zero). My vegetable intake usually consists of my vegetable wrap, which is about 2 cups baby spinach (I love that stuff), 30g onion, and 40g cucumbers. Usually, that's all I get. Sometimes, I'll also have a vegetable steamer bag for dinner, which adds another 2 cups of vegetables or so, but that's not everyday like my wrap.

    I have a huge, 300+ calorie salad without any meat in it for lunch every day, and my afternoon snack consists of a large tub of veggies with hummus dip. I'd say yes, yes I am eating enough.

    I tend to eat seasonally when it comes to veggies (and fruit). When it's growing season here and the farmer's markets are open, then I eat a lot of veggies and fruit. During off growing seasons, like right now, I eat fewer, though I do eat some every day (usually a large salad, or meat and veggie 'stir fry' mix. I don't eat hardly any fruit in off growing season, maybe a couple bananas a week, some raisins etc. Just don't care for the taste of most of them, and the ones that I do like (mostly cherries, peaches and blueberries), are hard to find during the winter, at a reasonable price.

    Even when I was a vegetarian, I didn't eat enough vegetables!
